About the series
In Mechanism (2016–present, Image), a five-issue series, writer and artist Rafael Albuquerque crafts a grim, near-future thriller where a detective investigates a series of murders linked to a mysterious, high-tech exoskeleton. Blending noir tension with sci-fi body horror, the story explores themes of obsession and the blurring line between human and machine. Albuquerque’s stark, kinetic art amplifies the claustrophobic atmosphere, making this a standout creator-owned work from Image that resonates with fans of grounded, dystopian crime fiction.
