The Monster of the Ministry of Hell

Lady Mechanika Volume 7: The Monster of the Ministry of Hell (2022) Joe Benitez, Beth Sotelo, Michael Heisler That… was dark and depressing. The story opens with Lady Mechanika’s memories. They are not happy ones. Although after the opening, we shift to a fun faire with Lady Mechanika, Dr. Littleton, Allie, and Fred, it’s still […]

Lady Mechanika Vol 4: Clockwork Assassin

Lady Mechanika Volume 2: Tablet of Destinies

Lady Mechanika Volume 2: Tablet of Destinies (2016) Joe Benitez, Marcia Chen, Martin Montiel I am very much enjoying these books.

So she lives as best she can, often accompanying adventurers (because her limbs […]
