[I received a copy of this book through Netgalley.]Not sure where chronologically this volume is set, among the other ‘Lady Mechanika’ ones. In this story, Mechanika travels to Mexico without a goal, grieving for her friend Dallas, and finds herself taking a room in a village whose inhabitants are a...
The artwork in this comic is amazing. The amount of detail on the cover is what drew my attention, and the inside is even better. Every scene could be featured as wall art. This is the first comic I've read featuring Lady Mechanika. I didn't feel lost, but there was a touch of mention from a pre...

He has a brutal, yet shy way of dealing with the darkness of Batman and it's appreciated. Sometimes it's nice to have these Morrison/Miller like tales without all of the explicit content, ...
Detective collects five issues of Detective Comics that don't really have an overlying connection, other than that they were all written by Paul Dini. Fair enough. I hear "Paul Dini" and "Batman" used together in a sentence and I'm ready to sign up. And they're (mostly) fantastic, of course.The coll...
