Lady Mechanika, Vol. 5: La Belle Dame Sans Merci by Joe Benítez, Martin Montiel, Beth Sotelo, M. M. Chen
4.0
In Lady Mechanika, Volume 5: La Belle Dame Sans Merci we find Lady Mechanika
concerned for her associate’s behavior. Mr. Lewis is under the thrall of the beautiful young widow who’s own past seems linked with the untimely deaths of several creative geniuses. Will Mr. Lewis be next?
Joe Benítez supplies us with page after page of gorgeously detailed art. The storyline are garnished with plenty of action and suspence. We are teased with Mechanika’s mysterious origins story in the prelude, but don’t expect anything solid yet (sigh). While the artwork is getting better, the stories are not.
Themes: Victorian Steampunk on steroids, awesome artwork, and great costumes.
4 stars
