Lady Mechanika #[nn]

Lady Mechanika stands wreathed in candlelight and roses, dressed in vivid red and black Victorian finery with her face painted in the ornate sugar-skull style of Día de los Muertos — it's a stunning cover image from Joe Benitez that makes this 2017 one-shot impossible to overlook. The "La Dama de la Muerte" subtitle and the surrounding ring of skulls, candles, and flowers set a mood that's equal parts celebration and mystery. Written by Joe Benitez and M. M. Chen with colors by Peter Steigerwald, Beth Sotelo, and Mike Garcia, this is a beautifully crafted entry in the Lady Mechanika series that wears its cultural inspiration with real visual flair.
