Pencils by Joe Benitez and Martin Montiel
(collects issues 1-6 of Lady Mechanika: The Tablet of Destinies)
Pros: gorgeous artwork, fast paced story, lots of women
Cons:
Lady Mechanika returns to London in time to witness the kidnapping of Lewis’ niece. Seems the girl’s grandfather is part of an African expedition uncovering a long lost underground city. And within that city is the tablet of destinies, rumoured to be a powerful weapon.
Once again the artwork is incredible. It’s lush and detailed.
The story’s fast paced, going from one crisis or revelation to another. I enjoyed that this book had several diverse locations, and peoples.
Lady Mechanika’s a fantastic protagonist. I’m impressed with the number of women the series has introduced, and the great costumes they wear (some sexy, others practical).
I’m loving this series.
