Ladara

Stepping out of the pages of Devil's Due Publishing's cult Modern Age series Mercy Sparx, Ladara made her debut in 2013 — part of the bold, irreverent universe that Joshua Blaylock and Matt Merhoff built around one of indie comics' most distinctive titles. She shares her corner of that world with a memorable cast including Mercy Sparx herself, Mr. Suit, Lilu, and Lilin, the kind of colorful company that signals a series with real personality and ambition. With appearances collected in the Mercy Sparx Omnibus, Ladara is a piece of a story worth discovering for any fan who loves their comics with an independent spirit and a little edge.
