Acclaimed creator Joe Benitez returns to the world of Lady Mechanika with a new chapter titled Lady Mechanika: The Mechanical Menagerie. The four-issue miniseries arrives this May from Image Comics.
Madeleine Holly-Rosing (Boston Metaphysical Society) writes the story. Benitez and Martin Montiel provide the artwork. The series promises a haunting steampunk mystery that pushes the heroine into a new investigation.
An Abandoned Park Awakens Old Dangers
The story begins when Lewis, Fred, and Allie discover an abandoned amusement park. Their curiosity awakens something that should have remained lost to time. Strange mechanical threats soon emerge from the shadows.
Lady Mechanika joins forces with Inspector Singh to track the sinister Mistress Grimm and her elusive Reapers. Their search becomes urgent as the past threatens to claim more victims.
Creator Reflects on Returning to the Series
“I had a lot of fun returning to the interiors and immersing myself in the characters again,” said Benitez. “Some interesting developments unfold in this story, so you don’t want to miss it!”
A Jumping-On Point for Readers
The Mechanical Menagerie blends action, adventure, and gothic steampunk elements. The series serves as an accessible entry point for new readers while offering longtime fans a fresh chapter in the ongoing saga.
