Angela Della Morte #3
Red 5 Comics/Stonebot Comics 2019
By Salvador Sanz
Angela Della Morte has become the most important prisoner of the Fluo Government. But the Devil is with her... transforming her. So, why are they keeping her alive?
This is such an amazing book and Salvador should be fast becoming a household name. That he is able to do everything that we see is utterly fabulous as it means that literally everything we see is there for a reason. To be able to bring your own vision to life like this without worrying that someone might miss something is commendable. Plus the overall uniqueness of the story concept itself is just another notch on the lipstick case. The way the reader is brought into the story and how engaged they become as they try to figure out not only what kind of science is being utilised but what is happening with Angela as well is the pièce de résistance.
The way that this is being told is genius to me. The story & plot development we see through how the sequence of events unfold as well as how the reader learns information is laid down perfectly. This issue in particular has such a different look and feel to it that we've not seen in the previous two and this adds another level of excitement. The character development we see through the dialogue and how the character act and react to the situations and circumstances the find themselves in. This is most noticeable in Angela herself as you'll see when you read this. The pacing is superb as it takes us through the pages revealing the twists and turns along the way that keeps us mystified and intrigued the entire time. With all of this working together it creates this great ebb & flow to the book as it also highlights how well it is structured.
I think the fact that we've been set on the moon thus far makes this a change of pace in an exciting kind of way. Part of me wishes we'd stayed on the moon because that setting was so cold, sterile and outright hostile and it fit with everything we were seeing. So by moving the focus we get a brand new avenue of focus and it throws everything the reader has thought they've known which is kind of bloody brilliant.
I am in love with the quality and level of the work on the interiors here. Seeing the lush green jungle and the texture in the fauna is simply stunning to behold. The linework is exquisite and how we see the varying weights utilised to being about this level of attention to detail is mindbogglingly good. If you need proof there are plenty of examples of delicate lines being seen as strong like the wire in the fencing. The way we see how essential the backgrounds are to the storytelling and how the work in the composition in the panels to show depth perception, scale and that overall sense of size and scope to the book is so well rendered. The utilisation of the page layouts and how we see the angles and perspective in the panels show this sensational eye for storytelling. The colour work is just divine as we see all these hues and tones within the colours, especially the greens, to create the shading, highlights and shadow work. There are definitely times when things are way creepy thanks to the “lighting” and then there's this overall sense of danger and unease as well which is thanks to how we see the moment.
This is beyond amazing to me. The originality, uniqueness, verve, talent and ability that we see on display only strengthens my belief that Red 5 is one of today's hottest company's for some truly exceptional storytelling.
