Pros: beautiful artwork, interesting story, great characters
Cons: short
Lady Mechanika hears of a strange murder case where kidnapped urchin boys were found murdered next to mechanical parts. She starts investigating, wondering if this case could lead to information about her own origins.
As with the previous volumes, this one stands alone, though there is a quick, non spoilery callback for the events of volume 2. It's only two issues, so the story is much shorter than those of the earlier graphic novels (and the price reflects that).
Once more the artwork is gorgeous. The characters have a fun mix of Victorian and steampunk fashions.The cast is widened with the addition of a detective inspector, who I suspect will show up in later volumes.
The cover gallery at the end has some nice pieces.
I'm loving this series.
