Loved the art in this graphic novel. So much color and contrast.

The graphic novel Lady Mechanika shows is a beautifully drawn and colored story about a stranger experiencing their first Dio de los Muertas in a Mexican village. The story itself is original and interesting but the dialogue is very unnatural sounding and really does a disservice to the art. If the writing had been less sentimental and less bulky it would have been a really excellent read.

This is the first and only part of the "Lady Mechanika" series that I've read. There are some allusions to previous events in the series but it is possible to read this part as a standalone.

The illustrations are gorgeous, especially in between the different sections of the story. Unfortunately, I did't really like how quickly the storyline progresses. The plot is interesting enough, but there just isn't enough build up to make me care very much.

My comic book store first introduced me to this comic. I found it to be captivating in both art and story. The main character is looking for change, she just lost the love of her life. She finds a new home and has to step up and protect her new people. It's a great graphic novel.

What spectacular illustrations! And the plot of this graphic novel was both interesting and engaging. Not my typical read, but this was thoroughly enjoyable with such vibrant images!

This is actually the first book from this series that I've rated more than 3 stars! It seems like as the series goes on it gets further away from just being an excuse to draw ~sexy~ ladies in steampunk gear and becomes an actual story. It's also nice to get a steampunk story that isn't set in and around London for once. There are some really gorgeous pages in this and because the story was a bit more straightforward this time it didn't suffer from being shorter than the first few volumes.

A warrior woman defying the Gods. A Norse parallel of #xenawarriorprincess. Beautiful art @Alterici. #graphicnovels #norsemythology #Odin
