Mirror: El reflejo de la montaña
Un misterioso asteroide acoge una selección de extrañas criaturas –híbridos entre humanos y animales, seres mitológicos, espíritus guardianes y sombras malditas– y los humanos que les dieron vida. Esta insólita sociedad vive en una frágil tregua, tras un levantamiento en busca de libertad y aprobación que terminó en tragedia.
Emma Ríos (Bella Muerte, I.D.) y Hwei Lim (Hero) presentan Mirror. El reflejo de la montaña, primera entrega de su serie sobre los alquimistas de la Sincronía y los animales conscientes de la colonia de Irzah, que explora el concepto de humanidad. Parcialmente inspirada en Oda a Kirihito, de Osamu Tezuka, y La isla del Dr. Moreau, de H. G. Wells, Mirror es una historia sobre la identidad, la aceptación y la libertad de elegir.

This is a really beautiful graphic novel, there is no doubt about that. The style of the art is gorgeous and totally dreamlike, but I'm afraid that is where my fondness for it ends. It's such a shame because I really felt as though the story had amazing potential - like serious potential.
BUT nothing gets enough time. This could have done with being at least two volumes this long, if not three, to give time for the world building to really have a chance and for us to actually get to know the characters. Some of them had the potential to be truly complex and in depth and I wanted to know so much more about them. The story is so rushed and the time jumps all over the place so you have to rely on really little details to try and understand what is going on.
It's such a shame because I loved the idea and the art is a dream. Then it just doesn't deliver. I wanted to loved it and couldn't make myself.

Absolutely gorgeous art style, but the story is so disjointed and confusing.

I LOVED Mirror, and it may stand as one of my favorite books of the year. The artwork is hasty and at times intentionally unfinished, which helps to create an ethereal, dreamlike quality that permeates the entire work. The characters are deceptively complicated, and what begins as a simple and easy eco-analogue, evolves into an inspired, powerful sci-fi world, complete with special rules for magic, space travel, and other primordial elements of all great genre fiction. It's a bit of a heady work, requiring some faith on the reader's side, but I've never struggled with this in my comics, and as a devoted Morrison-ite, I had no trouble at all following the complicated, time-skipping, plot. I highly recommend Mirror both as an above-average graphic novel, and as a beautiful piece of contemporary art.

Visualmente es una preciosidad, y de ahí las tres estrellas que le doy. Sin embargo, la narrativa me ha resultado caótica y muy confusa de seguir, con saltos en el tiempo que parecen metidos con calzador. Es una pena, la verdad, porque la premisa me parece interesantísima y el dibujo una auténtica delicia.

Mirror: The Mountain is a graphic novel created by Emma Rios and illustrated by Hwei Lim. The story set on an asteroid that has been terraformed by the mage scientists of Synchronia. When the mage scientists sent down animals as test subjects, the sentient asteroid gifted those animals with human-like capabilities.
Mirror: The Mountain starts out as a story of colonialism and slavery. The animals are now able to advocate for their own wants and needs, and they don’t want to be test subjects. They don’t want to be second class to the mages. They want freedom, and to be able to determine their own destiny. And so some of the animals escape, and begin an uprising.
Meanwhile, the sentient asteroid realizes that it has made a mistake. It is tired of all of the problems that humans have caused, and wants to wipe out all life and start with a clean slate. This upends the conflict between the humans and the animals, as now the two groups need to cooperate to ensure survival, and members of each group start to realize how interconnected and similar they really are.
The artwork is comprised of pastel watercolors that manage to capture the essence of each of the characters, showing not just what they look like but what’s in their soul. It is truly breathtaking, and gave the story an ethereal quality.
When I started reading the book, I expected to quickly be able to identify good guys and bad guys, as in most comics, but Mirror: The Mountain is different. The characters are complex, and nobody is perfect, but nobody is worthy of hatred either. There are cultural and social dynamics at work, and characters who I thought were the antagonists weren’t really in the end. And the entire story feels like a small glimpse of a much larger universe that has plenty of issues of its own.
Mirror: The Mountain was beautiful and dreamlike, and I’d highly recommend it.

Tebeo con un dibujo precioso, narrativamente a veces bien resuelto, otras apresurado, y una historia que hubiera requerido de un poco más de recorrido para desarrollar escenario y personajes. El lector se ve arrojado a una serie de acciones en diferentes momentos temporales que dificultan mucho asimilar quién es cada uno y, sobre todo, crear algún tipo de conexión con ellos. Cuando esto puede haberse iniciado, lo más probable es que ya estés en la última página. En esto me ha dejado un sabor amargo.

The Mirror is by far the most beautiful and experimentally structured comic I've read this year. A beautiful science fiction story told as a lyrical fairytale and while sometimes narratively antagonistic when providing information, still ends up providing a more satisfying and fulfilling narrative than any other vol. 1's I've read possibly ever.

Mirror: The Mountain is a very beautiful graphic novel that probably should have just been a novel. Choosing the right medium can be tricky, and graphic novels, while I love them, do not get through as much story in one volume as a book. You can tell very long stories with them, but they will often be multi-volume projects that take many years. Mirror feels a bit too much like a cinematic script for my tastes. Had all the characters come alive in a novel, I would have enjoyed it more.
Mirror has an interesting premise. There's a world where human beings are experimenting on animals to make them hybrid humans. At least I think that's what's happening. There's a lot of details that never really get fleshed out, leaving the reader with a confused mess of a conflict to sort out. This is made worse by the time skips that normally I quite like, but since I had a hard time figuring anything out, they made the book even more of a disjointed mess.
The art was gorgeous though. Lovely water colours and interesting character designs. But art can't save a bad story, alas...

I was checking out what comics I have left to read, and oops, I read it. Unfortunately, what it has in the art department, it lacks when it comes to story. There are mages and...magical animal people? That were created by humans? And they rebelled at some point and it failed and now...what? It was pretty disjointed and rushed with flashbacks and present time mixing incoherently, and I never got a good sense of what is supposed to be going on or who the characters are. It was like an odd, pretty fever dream. Nice to look at, but I'd prefer a little more substance.

Visualmente es una pasada, aunque creo que si hubiese tenido más extensión la historia hubiese respirado mejor, porque queda muy coja en algunos momentos.

La faceta que más conocemos de
Emma Ríos
es la de dibujante, sobre todo en Marvel y junto a Kelly Sue DeConnick. Pero ya sabéis que en La Nave Invisible nos centramos en las historias, y en este aspecto Ríos tiene mucho que contar. Gracias a Astiberri hemos podido contar con su trabajo más reciente: Mirror, el reflejo de la montaña. Una fábula a caballo entre la ciencia ficción y la fantasía, con un dibujo de Hwei Lim muy acorde al estilo orgánico del que hace gala esta historia, tanto en la forma como en el fondo.
La acción se sitúa en el asteroide de Irzah, un resto de un planeta destruido por la Sincronía.
Este asteroide fue terraformado y allí se implantó una colonia humana 35 años antes del momento en que suceden los principales hechos. Poco después de que acabara la terraformación se liberaron algunos animales. Y, de alguna forma, el asteroide se conectó con ellos, dotándolos de conciencia. Así nacieron los Guardianes. El conflicto llega cuando los humanos quieren hacer lo mismo, crear animales evolucionados, y se dedican a experimentar con ellos. Algunos experimentos salieron mejor, otros no fueron tan satisfactorios. Sin embargo, a pesar de que los que llegaron a buen término son seres igual de racionales que los seres humanos, no son tratados de la misma forma. Eso lleva a muchos de ellos a rebelarse.
La historia comienza cuando Sena, el primer híbrido creado con éxito en Irzah, escapa de las garras de la Eságila. Años más tarde, la investigación sobre los animales evolucionados se encuentra en punto muerto. El líder de la investigación, Kazbek, presiona a Iván, un joven talentoso, para que utilice sus poderes en su beneficio. Pero Iván, que había crecido junto a Sena, no está dispuesto a ceder y toma una decisión que precipitará los hechos.

I picked this book up at the library on a whim and like most I was amazed at the art. The beautiful watercolors, especially the scattered multicolored pages at the end are astounding. I would recommend it just for the art. The story itself isn't bad but it's not great. It just doesn't fully deliver. The quality of the story doesn't match the quality of the art. It was a bit hard to follow because it jumps around timelines. I feel like if there were more explanation in the beginning I would have followed it better. It also feels rushed. I think the story would feel grander, more epic, if it went slower. I was glad of the character index at the end of the book. Honestly, I wasn't entirely sure of who was who until I read it.

The art in this is really pretty, however often the style hindered the storytelling.
The story itself is pretty simple. Humans create animal hybrids who then turn on their creators. Lots of typical "humans bad" tropes that get somewhat turned on their head towards the end. What makes this a bit more interesting is that the meat of the story has already happened in the past. The non-linear storytelling could be confusing, but I found it helped keep my attention.
Overall I found this to be pretty mediocre. I'll read the next volume as there's only the one, but I'm not eager to go out looking for more work by this writer.

Mirror: The Mountain is an interesting fantasy comic by Image Comics that I'd recommend to anyone who enjoys the more philosophical fantasy stories. The artwork has a strong watercolor, dreamy feel to it and the story asks all kinds of interesting questions about humanity's tendency towards both cruelty and kindness.

Beautiful and strange. I desperately want to spend more time in this world. Part of that is because this book races through its storyline -- I would happily have lingered on any one element much, much longer, and instead this is almost an outline. But I'm really impressed by the way Ríos and Lim tell a non-chronological story so that its many, many pieces still click together in a satisfying way.
But still: both personally and editorially, I want more!!

Cuando un lector español de cómic bucea entre los títulos independientes más importantes y aclamados de los últimos años, no dudo de que uno de ellos sea Mirror. No solo por sus preciosas portadas, si no por encontrar un nombre como el de la gallega Emma Ríos encabezando la portada junto a una desconocida Hwei Lim. Allá por 2016 se publicada el primer número de Mirror, una serie de Image Comics compilada actualmente en dos volúmenes cerrados que en España pueden leerse gracias a la excelente editorial Astiberri.
Mirror nació como una historia destinada a formar parte de 8House, una colección de historias formada por varias miniseries de temática fantástica y ciencia ficción, que planteaba arcos autoconclusivos retroalimentados entre sí. Sin embargo, la idea original de Emma Ríos y Hwei Lim llamó la atención de Image, proponiendo su publicación como serie independiente. Nacen así estos 10 números de Mirror que podemos leer actualmente, divididos en dos arcos argumentales titulados El reflejo de la montaña y El nido, que nos transportan hasta la Sincronía, un sistema planetario repleto de magia, seres divinos y alquimia.

Al final me ha gustado mucho. He adorado el estilo de dibujo y la mezcla de fantasía con ciencia ficción es magnífica. Las historias cortas y el arte extra de los personajes es una pasada.
Al principio es un poco confuso, y los saltos del tiempo son acelerados. Acabas siguiendo el hilo de la historia a la mitad, pero cuando juntas todos los puntos es un no parar.
Hay un segundo tomo recopilatorio, que me haré con él lo antes posible para ver cómo sigue.

Mirror es de esas obras que son tan hermosas en tantos aspectos que describir la experiencia lectora es casi imposible. Así que voy hacer lo que siempre hago, recomendarlo. Leedlo no os defraudará.
PD; Reeler Mirror despues de algunos años ( y terminar este primer arco) con una edición tan cuidada ha sido un lujo.

I really like the drawing style but found the story a bit chaotic. It was a bit clearer in the end but I still found it hard to understand exactly what was happening. Witch is a shame because I found the topic's and questions that this comic touches on very interesting!

Que preciosidad de cómic, tanto el dibujo como la historia. Me encantan los personajes y la forma de viñetar... dios, que maravilla.

It was okay. I think the illustrations are what makes the book more than the storyline.

Interesting sci-fi eco-fiction with beautiful art, but the story is a little hard to follow at times.
June 2, 2019
Following the huge success of Saga by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples, which is now halfway through its run, Image hasn't found another sci-fi creator-owned comic to rival that title. Working under this publisher, artist Emma Ríos has been successful through works such as Pretty Deadly, as well as co-edited alongside Brandon Graham on the monthly comics anthology, Island. Taking a step-back from art duties, Ríos collaborates with Malaysian artist Hwei Lim on the science-fantasy comic Mirror.
Originally conceived as mini comics, which are published at the end of this volume, you do get the suggestion that Ríos and Lim came up with the world first, than the story as this is such an alien world where there are mage-scientists, man-animal hybrids and mythological creatures. No doubt that this world is a thing of beauty, greatly visualised by Hwei Lim, with her soft, painterly style and impressive approach to fashion and character design, whether it is man, animal, or a combination of the two.
With an art style is very unconventional, with nearly every page experimenting with panel layouts, it is just as abstract as the story that is being told and this is where I lose touch. Despite the synopsis that is told on on the back cover, involving this strange society that exists in an uneasy truce, in the aftermath of uprisings seeking freedom and acceptance, all of which comes at the culmination with a global environmental disaster, there is an awful lot going on, not all of which get the full explanation.
In five issues, the storytelling as grand as it is, feels rushed with all these ideas involving science and magic that although are fascinating, never gets the attention it deserves. At the start of the story, we are introduced to a young boy who has been separated by force by his best friend of a hybrid dog. Years later, the two have grown up to be on the opposing sides against each other, due to this civil clash between man and animal.
Like I said, this title originated from mini comics, which frankly has more to say in terms of presenting these quirky ideas and characters. However, once you expand those things into an ongoing story, Mirror: The Mountain becomes a shallow experience that has great art, but a confusing story, which will be continuing.

Mirror is a nice little chunk of sci-fi. It's ultimately an alien-invasion story, but doesn't follow the point-of-view typically employed for such a tale, which is very nice. It's a big jarring--intentionally--as there are what seem to be similarly-rendered characters and obfuscating holes in the backstory; the story was plotted in such a way that one is thrown into the midst of a strange battle in which neither side is fully fleshed, and ping-pongs toward clarity at the end. I can see readers putting down the first issue and never picking up the second, but each issue of the five issue arc has built-in dependence on the reader forging ahead and reading the lot.
Rios pens magical exposition that is lovely but is easily distracted from: I would not recommend reading this without being able to devote as much attention to it as possible. But trust that it is worth the attention paid.
The art is spectacular. I very much enjoy a well-crafted watercolor. And, the sort of misty, ethereal quality of the paints is tonally apt for the story.
I really liked this, but can definitely see how it might not appeal to a casual readier. It's definitely not a one-shot type of meat-and-potatoes story that you can flip through while doing other things, but it is very very good reading, especially for lovers of science fiction.

nice little eco science fiction story with gorgues art and colouring. the art style is a great mixture of eastern and western style with a lean more to the east. The watercolouring supports the dreamy and philosophical atmosphere, still, the strong narrative prevents boredome.
It's a graphic novel, so it's all in one book. However there is a shared universe with other stories of other creative teams coming.

Me ha costado una barbaridad terminar la lectura de este cómic, las imágenes son preciosas, coloridas, expresivas y muy oníricas. El problema está en la narrativa, la he encontrado inconexa y difícil de seguir, como si no me lo estuvieran explicando todo y faltaran cosas en medio. La idea me parece muy buena a nivel argumental y el dibujo está a la altura, lástima que el conjunto no acabe de cuajar del todo.
