Mini-Series Premiere. An all-new story featuring guest artist Siya Oum (Lola XOXO, Fathom)! Lady Mechanika tries to escape disturbing revelations from her past by running off to Siberia on a dangerous hunt for an alleged dragon living in the depths of an ancient lake.
Oum deliver some beautifully detailed and visually immersive art throughout this issue. Not only do the characters look amazing, but the backgrounds wonderfully convey the cold and isolation of the location. Read Full Review
A very good jumping on point for readers who do not know Lady Mechanika. As one of those readers, I am looking forward to following this story and I have even picked up the earlier volumes to satiate my steampunk cravings. Read Full Review
Theres a very smart sense of pacing about the opening issue of the current series. The series of scenes that comprise the first issue have a very compelling sense of forward momentum about them that serves th overall action and drama of the series quite well. Once again, Lady Mechanika makes it to the page in a narrative package that feels distinct and well-balanced from beginning to end. If Benitez, Change and company can maintain the momentum established in the first issue, all should be quite well. Read Full Review
LADY MECHANIKA: THE DEVIL IN THE LAKE #1 begins a fanciful Steampunk tale about a monster-hunting cyborg sent to rescue a research team from a sea monster. Joe Benitez and M.M. Chen captures an authentic vibe of pulp adventure, and Siya Oum's art is exquisite. That said, the issue takes a little time to get going, so be prepared for hefty amounts of dialog. Read Full Review
It was better than average. I remember reading one of these arcs a while ago and liking it, but it was way to wordy. Same here with this issue.
