Legenderry #3.
I haven't finished reading it. Just had to take a break because of the art.

Sergio Fernandez Davila has talent, that's for sure... the faces, the backgrounds, the art is just beautiful.

But then... there's things llike-
1. The scene with Magna having dinner with Captain Victory.
In the establishing panel, Oscar Goldman is seated on her left and Steve Austin is on her right.
In the next two panels when they're all shown again, they've swapped... with Goldman on her right and Austin on her left.
And then in the rest of the panels, they've swapped back to their original seats.
Just something that pulled me out of the story for a minute.

2. There's a rather gruesome splash page where a man in being ripped in half and his intestines are flying everywhere. Davila seems rather proud of this page because he signed it. It's almost like he's auditioning for DC's New52. And I don't know anyone who would be framing that page to display on a wall.
Meanwhile, there's a couple scenes with shirtless men... and they have no nipples.
Really? They have intestines, though, that's for sure...

I'll return to my comic now, but I'm going to have to give it a 2/5 now before something else happens that will bring it even lower because I do somewhat like the story. What little there is of it.
I'm mostly reading for the setting now.

Update: After going back and finishing...
Solid 2/5.

I think I've already figured out the plot twist that's sure to come... as I suspect that Magna is really Sonja and doesn't know it.
The story, itself, seems to suffer from being a vehicle for the steampunk versions of the other characters to pop in, make a scene and then exit.
While it's a nice novelty, it's going to grow old by the seventh issue.
Especially when they're much more exciting than Magna, the one protagonist that remains constant.
And each time one of the characters make a grand entrance and then disappear into the background, it feels like I'm riding in a car cross-country with someone who won't stop at any of the interesting spots we glimpse passing by... knowing I'll never be there again.
