(W/A) Joe Benitez
From the imaginative mind of Joe Benitez with colors by the incomparable Peter Steigerwald, comes this all-new supernatural action-adventure series! The tabloids dubbed her 'Lady Mechanika', the sole survivor of a psychotic serial killer's three-year rampage through London. Found locked in an abandoned laboratory amidst countless corpses and body parts, with her own limbs amputated and replaced with mechanical components, her life began anew. With no memory of her captivity or her former life, Lady 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 has never stopped searching for answers… Now, brought into a case unlike any before, Lady Mechanika will have to rely on her advantage in all things occult and paranormal in order to solve the case and possibly unlock the secrets to her past!

BONUS REVIEW by GARY OWENS
It’s a concept that’s been around but has surprisingly not been driven into the ground, which is taking the culture of the 1800’s and slamming it against the science revolution of tomorrow. To be honest, the cover art got me. Joe Benitez’s interior art matches the outside, and I especially marvel at the fine details all around. The story would decide whether it would be one for the ages, however, and though it didn’t bowl me over, it also didn’t miss, either. This is the first part in a longer tale, and it does a beautiful job of setting up what is to come, with Lady Mechanika's search for her maker, and dangerous asides set for later conflicts. I like the concept, the name, and the art, and the first issue met most of my high hopes. If you like the cover, give it a try.
