This issue feels necessary to move the plot forward, but it isn't the strongest individual issue of the series thus far. Read Full Review
Monstro Mechanica #4 is a mediocre chapter of an otherwise solid sci-fi/historical fiction series. While its not bad, it makes a few too many missteps to be considered genuinely good either. I cant say stay away, but its not a must-buy. If youre deeply invested in the series, feel free to pick it up. Otherwise, wait for next issue to give it a try. Read Full Review
The more that Monstro Mechanica has gone on the more it's disconnecting for me. The moments that have worked have been with Isabel and the creature itself as I want to know more of what's going on there and the meaning behind it all. Riaro, Da Vinci, the Medici, and much of the other material is just not clicking anywhere near as well and this issue turned out to be a bit of a struggle to get through since everything feels secondary to something that I can't even pin down as there's an uncertainty as to the intent of the story itself. I suspect time with Isabel and the Monstro Mechanica will pick up next time around and that'll help some but not with the fundamental problems. Read Full Review
