24-year old Paz Gallegos has been holding her family
together for years. But when her two sisters go missing and her life begins to
unravel, Paz finds herself thrown into a world of gangs, guns, and ghosts.
Because something spectral islurking just below the surface of Paz's nightmares.
Something not afraid to leave a trail of bodies in its wake. Fantomah's story
begins here, in a pulse-pounding first issue brought to you by Ray Fawkes
(Batman Eternal, Underwinter) and Soo Lee (Fight Like a
Girl).
La Fantomah could have been a really great graphic novel. The concept was great, but unfortunately the execution felt really rushed. Disappearing children and a vengeful spectre has a lot of potential, but the genesis of La Fantomah, and the entire plot with the antagonist was over in seconds and really needed a lot more development. The art style was fine, but most of the characters ended up looking exactly the same, so it really made it difficult to engage with the story. There was so much that wasn't discussed or explored that I found it a somewhat disappointing read.
