I picked this one up at last summer's MASSive Comic Con in Worcester, MA.
Title: Lady Skylark and the Queen's Treasure
Volume: Act Two
Publisher: Kay and P Comics
Date: 2015
Writer: Christopher Parent
Artist: Jackie Musto
This is the second collection from the webomic by writer Christopher Parent and artist Jackie Musto.
Lady Skylark has been rescued after being tossed off of her ship by a mutinous crew. She's a passenger aboard the Lady Abbess now, but not an entirely welcome one. And Skylark isn't content to be at the mercy of her rescuers. She has plans for revenge, and those plans need her to be the one in command of a ship.
This volume did a great job of bringing our Lady Skylark's cunning and ambition as she plots and manipulates her way toward her goals. It all builds toward some fun mayhem involving a sky kraken.
There was also some good character development and worldbuilding, especially in a nicely-done scene where Skylark gets to know the crew of the Lady Abbess.
Bonus section at the end describes the process of designing the sky kraken.
This was a lot of fun and felt more tightly focused than the first volume.
Rating: 8/10
