“Legend of Isis Volume 7: Nephthys’ Revenge #4 (Legend of Isis)” By A.E. Stueve & Pedro Ponzo Review

Dr. Love’s maze of mirages and illusions is falling apart, but he still has one trick up his sleeve for Isis. Leading in to some big changes, everyone’s favorite time-tossed-would-be-goddess faces off against Dr. Love again for the first time! But what does it all mean? Is Isis really a god? Did she “create” Mr. Frederick and the others? This brand new collected edition features never before seen images and bonus material!

I need to be honest here and say that this comic book wasn’t one of the better comic books I’ve read in my time, even thou I didn’t like it a lot, I still think it was a decent enough read to give it 2 stars instead of 1 star. But as always I will explain everything in this review.

This comic book felt more like a reading chore than a pleasant adventure read, which disappointed me in a way because this comic book struggles with pacing, character development, and overall coherence.

The plot in this comic book had the potential to be good, but there was something about the narrative which this comic book which didn’t give a shit to make this comic book live up to its full potential. 

The narrative which this comic book has feels disjointed and at times confusing, because the narrative leaves us as readers to piece together the motivations and actions of key characters. Im not a big fan when writers do that which always make me take a lot of points away from the overall rating of the book. 

The action in this book, brings forward the plot needing to have strong and big stakes, but the stakes in this comic book come across as muddled, diminishing the impact of the story’s climactic moments.

The main character in this comic book lacks the depth and complexity that would make her journey compelling. Her interactions with other characters feel superficial, often serving to advance the plot rather than to explore relationships or personal growth. Because of this I had a really hard time liking her or even caring what would happen to her. 

The other characters in this comic book weren’t much better than the main character. But there were 2 characters I liked more than the rest in this comic book. 

The artwork in this comic book is pretty good, easily the best part of this comic book. But the artwork is very inconsistent throughout this comic book. The artwork can be one moment very good but the next moment it appear rushed or lack detail which the previous moment had.

The dialogues in this comic book often feels stilted and lacks the natural rhythm that can elevate a comic. Because the dialogues get at times very heavy and make it confusing in a way. The reason why the dialogues aren’t as good as they could have been is because they feel like they weren’t well thought through.

I Give This Book 2 / 5
