Kickstarter highlight: Mercedes Bloom Will Have Her Revenge
"Mercedes Bloom Will Have Her Revenge" is a four-part graphic novel written by Paul Huxley and illustrated by Gaurang Sidh. It's available now on Kickstarter, and having already reached its funding goal, the comic will be made. It's a black-and-white comic that blends gritty realism with uncanny elements, exploring themes of obsession and vengeance.
The story begins with Mercedes, who has spent her life training to avenge her mother's death. What starts as a gritty tale of obsession evolves into a surreal journey that explores the extremes of revenge.
Inspired by movies like "Get Carter", "Oldboy", and "Lady Vengeance", "Mercedes Bloom" aims to present a realistic story set in real-world locations but with a touch of the uncanny and metaphysical.
The first issue dives right into Mercedes' world, introducing her as a determined and focused protagonist. Her pursuit of revenge creates a trail of destruction that entangles the only person who ever cared for her, Dr. Bloom, the man who saved her as a baby.
As the series unfolds, we witness Mercedes' relentless quest for justice and uncover the earth-shattering secret driving her unstoppable pursuit.
