Review of Lady Zorro: Blood and Lace

Posted on by

LadyZorroTPCOVERLady Zorro is called back to Alta California to recover a sacred Chumash war axe, stolen by mercenary soldiers. Only she can stop an all-out bloody war across the ranchos, and more deaths like those that consumed her family… if she can stay on mission! When an opportunity for ultimate vengeance presents itself, can she ignore it? Or will the fiery desire to put her greatest foe six feet underground consume Lady Zorro… and all of Alta California with it? A violent, sexy tale of intrigue and swashbuckling as the female Fox must use all her assets to get herself out of trouble.

Warning: Contained within are scenes of swashbuckling, violence, and slight nudity. Now that the slight warning is posted I can continue the review.

While the pace and action of the story is relatively consist throughout. For the most part, the few slower scenes introduce backstory to the various characters. That gives some degree of grounding to the story,without slowing it down. The story itself has a slight historical vibe to it, while blending it with a large dash of fiction.

The art style is consistent throughout, allowing the reader to be fully immersed. While there are some degree of clothing accuracy, it is questionable how much. However the artist manages to add his own little touch that can be seen here and there if look closely. The action scenes are superb, and filled with a solid amount of color and violence. Even the color scheme is consistent throughout, in color and shades with a nice touch.

Lady Rawhide/Lady Zorro Debuts in March

Posted on by

Dynamite Entertainment has announced the March 2015 debut of Lady Rawhide / Lady Zorro #1, the first chapter of a four-part miniseries that will see two of the comic book industry’s Western heroines cross paths for the first time. Written by Shannon Eric Denton and featuring interior artwork by Rey Villegas, Lady Rawhide / Lady Zorro #1 features cover artwork by acclaimed artist and Lady Rawhide co-creator, Mike Mayhew.

In Lady Rawhide / Lady Zorro #1, the two female vigilantes must live up to the legend of Zorro after the inspirational hero is murdered! When brutal slavers descend upon a village and steal away all its adolescent girls, Lady Zorro and Lady Rawhide – who would sooner ride alone than ride together – must put aside their ideological and methodical differences to free the missing girls from a fate worse than death.

Lady Rawhide (along with her alter-ego Anita Santiago) was introduced into the Zorro mythos by writer Don McGregor and artist Mike Mayhew in 1994, a masked vigilante skilled with swords, guns, and her signature bullwhip.  Driven to avenge her brother’s suffering at the hands of a crooked government, she first had an antagonistic relationship with Zorro, but eventually became his confidante and staunch ally.  Lady Rawhide’s popularity as a Zorro regular grew, leading to her headlining several Lady Rawhide comic series.

Lady Zorro is a more recent addition to the Zorro mythos, created in 2012 as a strong supporting cast member of the Zorro Rides Again series by Matt Wagner and John K Snyder III. Seeking vengeance after her husband was murdered by corrupt government officials, Lady Zorro cut a bloody swath across the countryside until the elder swordfighter calmed her rage.  The character appeared in a successful 2014 self-titled series by Alex De Campi and Rey Villegas.

The violent origins of the fictional heroines very much reflects the history of the region, which will be incorporated into the new series.

Lady Rawhide / Lady Zorro #1 will be solicited in Diamond Comic Distributors’ January 2015 Previews catalog and slated for release in March.
