Reviews

[Machiavelli · Rating 3 out of 5]

The artwork in this series is on another plane. Every page feels like a centerpiece — layered, detailed, savage, and seriously beautiful. Liam Sharpe is doing heavy lifting with the mood and sheer scope. The design work, the lighting, the environments — all of it feels massive and meticulously crafted.

The story, though, isn’t landing for me the way those first issues did. I’m having to concentrate more to keep everyone and everything straight within the broader conflict. The ingredients are there, but this installment felt more like repositioning pieces than delivering a major push forward.

5⭐️ art, no question.

The power struggle and games continue. There are several incredible full page art displays in this issue that really are impressive.

Great art. The story lost me, not just for personal disagreements, but also the choice of accent/rhetoric makes some portions hard to follow.

Beautiful. Just beautiful.
