This is simply a gorgeous comic, from the first page to the last. This is a rare comic in that the art, from cover to cover, alone is worth the price for admission. This is a must for comic collectors and the trade edition will be a hit just by having all the covers collected in one place.
The atmospheric of Lady Mechanika are exquisite and allow for complete immersion into this Steampunk world.
I find that Aspen comics have a different way of narrating the story. I can’t quite place it, but when I read a comic I immediately can associate it this type of narration with Aspen. In Fathom and Soulfire this technique may be a hit and miss, but with lady Mechanika I think it works well due to the aloofness of the character, been mechanical, that I don’t mind it; it actually accentuates the differences between Lady Mechanika and the rest of the characters.
It is easy to predict that this series will be a hit.
