Did Not Finish
October 16, 2026The problem is, sphinx cats are already such creepy little fuckers that trying to make them scarier by changing the colour, giving them five eyes, two heads, making them minions of an extradimensional horror... it's just a hat on a hat. Additionally, while this is firmly sold as a Mirka Andolfo comic, industry economics mean that, like so many before her, a good artist has progressed through OK writer-artist to really not great writer for another, much less exciting artist. Leaving this as a sort of overwrought paranormal action telenovela that isn't even redeemed by its visuals, instead being left with stilted acting to match the stiff script. Avoid.

Confermo in pieno ciò che ho scritto l'anno scorso. Specialmente adesso che ho letto entrambi i volumi.
La storia bislacca, fatta di demoni e gattini, non sta in piedi. Ho rivalutato però il lavoro di Laura Braga: nel secondo volume cambia il disegnatore e la qualità già bassa del volume precipita.
Non capisco come mai Star Comics abbia aspettato così tanto per pubblicare il secondo volume. Non è che l'attesa abbia migliorato il tutto.

Ho sempre pensato che Mirka Andolfo se la cavasse molto meglio come disegnatrice che come sceneggiatrice. E questo ne è la dimostrazione!
La Andolfo lascia il tavolo da disegno per creare una storia che... fa acqua da tutte le parti. Inoltre i personaggi sono simpatici quanto un pomeriggio di pioggia in piena estate. Di solito non mi dispiacciono gli elementi horror in un racconto ma qua son buttati lì a casaccio. E l'artista non riesce a raggiungere le vette artistiche come avrebbe potuto fare la Andolfo.
Però, visto che son solo due volumi, recupererò anche il secondo.

(scrivo dopo aver letto entrambi i volumi)
Amo le opere dell'Andolfo, le ho lette e apprezzate quasi tutte, ma questa veramente no.
Personaggi che non ti catturano, storia che sembra scritta di fretta solo per essere pubblicata e vendere, disegni anche quelli realizzati in modo veloce e pigro.

(This is for the English edition - I can't find it listed on Goodreads).
I barely made it through this, and regretted trying. While the art is nice, the story just rubbed me the wrong way the entire time, and was a slog.

This was very weird and pretty confusing but I kind of liked it? Extra points for all the creepy evil cats.
