Snow White steampunked

I had this comic for a while now on my wish list. Its not a comic I would usually read but the art on the cover was appealing and then I read the title “Steampunk Snow White” , that seemed interesting

Fairy tales always captured my attention and inspired me and I do like reading variations of them, but a steampunk version of Snow White I think I never did.

As I said this comic has been on my whishlist and its been there for a very long time, but I found it with a good price, so I thought lets give it a chance it will be a nice break from all the superhero soap opera I usually read.

And it was a nice break

Its was the perfect thing to read early in the day before you get busy with daily routines and work. A short story to the point and with excellent art.

The story and art was done by Rod Espinosa and it was good. I have never read a comic by him before and I think he did a very good version of Snow White’s tale

He used the basic and most known elements of the fairy tale added a taste of steampunk features and tweaked some of the characters. In 51 pages he managed to tell the whole story in a quick paced way. I would like though if he explored more the characters and added some more plot lines, but it didn’t need it.

The art enjoyed a lot, nice storytelling with detailed art which had a bit of manga influence. All was nicely coloured and I think he did a good job on designing the steampunk elements, he could’ve added a bit more steampunk details but yet again I think he didn’t need too.

I enjoyed this comic book for what it was a short simple story based on a fairy tale and drawn in a bautiful way. It was just what I needed no expectations and no need to see more of it.

Sometimes its is a lot better to make things simple and to the point.
