New and upcoming Steampunk comic book by Joe Benitez with fantastic art and story. I’m a harsh critic, especially when it comes to comics; but this one is a winner.
I used to collect comics back in the ’90s. X-Men, Spawn, Lobo, Crow, and a few others. My collection is now limited to a handful of favorites. So naturally, I am very critical of comics. I feel they have to have great stories, fantastic characters, and beautiful art. I’m looking forward to following Lady Mechanika.
With no memory of her captivity or her former life, Mechanika eventually built a new life for herself as a private detective, using her unique abilities to solve cases the police couldn’t or wouldn’t handle. But she never stopped searching for the answers to her own past.
Set in turn of the century England, a time when magic and superstition clashed with new scientific discoveries and inventions, Lady Mechanika is about a young woman’s search for her own identity as she solves other mysteries involving science and the supernatural.
