The only reason it wasn't a 5 star for me is for something I didn't like in the beginning of the book. Lady Mechanika ends up with a visit from little Winifred. She thinks something has happened to her grandfather. He's in Africa trying to find a treasure. Made me think of Indiana Jones for some reason. Then some evil people come on the scene and you know how that goes. Mechanika and Winifred set out to find her grandfather and these evil people keep kidnapping Winifred and Mechanika keeps havin...

I adore Lady Mechanika’s personality, stories and interactions. She’s a genuine female character that is strong, capable and not afraid (although having robotic arms might help, lol). And yet this mini series of 6 comics was not near as good as some of the others. StoryNormally Mechanika books have some of the best story and dialogue found in comics. However this time around the story felt a bit forced and the dialogue in the last book was painful. I’m not sure what happened as it didn’t start o...

Love all the steampunk detailed art work!

Superb graphics with carefully rendered details, great and interesting story - I liked it even better than the first Mechanika storyline.

I received this from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. More of the same as volume 1: steampunk, evil bad guys, and twists. While the plot wasn't anything overly original, it was fairly well done, and beautifully drawn. As long as Benitez is involved in this series, I'll keep reading.

I'm turning into a fan of Lady Mechanika.... This was at least as good as the first volume. The storyline has been done before (numerous times), but it didn't feel stale at all. I liked the little winks to Indiana Jones and The Rocketeer. I also like the fact that the 'damsel in distress' isn't a helpless creature in these stories, illustrated by Fred in this volume, who does the very best she can to escape her captors...I received a copy trhough NetGalley in return for an honest review.

Also available on the WondrousBooks blog. Not as good as the first one.My general problem with Lady Mechanika, after two volumes, is that it doesn't follow through. In the first volume she was decided on finding her maker. In this volume that story is completely forgotten and something completely different is happening on a different continent.Not to mention that this is Lady Mechanika and the tablet of destinies, except that Lady Mechanika is not even in the story line with the tablet. So to

Exquisite graphics, gripping story and a few nice twists in the plot. Overall, a top-notch steampunk graphic novel. Highly recommended.

Cool, Awesome and Unique! Lady Mechanika Vol. 2 is super cool. They should make a movie based on this comic.Secret weapon, ancient language, codes, riddles, rituals of the elites, amazing and dark creatures in the wilderness of Africa. This comic is full of twists and turns. The story is totally unexpected but nonetheless wonderful.The artwork is incredible. I am a fan of Joe Benitez. He is just amazing. The illustration and the detailing is just out of this world.I loved reading this comic

Read all my reviews on http://urlphantomhive.booklikes.com This second volume was even better than the first! The artwork, as I'd come to expect after the first volume, was still great. It is amazing and really one of the best things about this comic. I liked this story better than the first, even though it is not that original (typical ancient treasure kind of thing). Still it was a pleasure to read. There is still a lot of text on some pages, but I had the feeling it was slightly less this ti

Lady Mechanika is approached by a little girl who "contracts" her to go after her daddy which has disappeared. While doing so, someone kidnaps the little girl, and Lady Mechanika decides to go after the girl. In doing so, she gets to meet new allies and we get to meet alchemists and new adventures and astonishing visual art.In this volume, the bad guys (gasp! germans! how original! not...) has the good guys working for them in order to obtain something called the "tablet of destinies". Manwhile,...

I dub thee Lady Mechanika vol. 2: GeheimpolizeiReturn to Lady MechanikaI thought we'd know more about Lady Mechanika's origins, her intriguing past and more about Lewis. Well, looking for her trusty, awesomely sarcastic sidekick was a little like this:Still haven't found him. Alright, so nothing about her past, but we do get an extremely entertaining volume where Indiana Jones and Harry Potter had a baby just before meeting Black Panther after tea with Nazis and a few Arabs. Oh, And Ed from Full...

Lady Mechanika Vol. 2: The Tablet of Destinies by M.M. Chen and Joe Benitez is a terrific graphic novel that should not be missed. It is like reading about a female Indiana Jones/Tomb Raider with a spin all its own. I loved the first volume and this volume is just as good. Love steam punk and this is top of the line there also. Fonts are easy to read, not like some graphic novels. Gorgeous illustrations. wonderful plot, and great characters that shine with personalities of their own. Love this s...

Lovely artwork with a heavily steampunk-ed theme for the admires of the genre, reminiscent of old times adventures and explorations with plenty of action.

I'm giving this issue a 3.5*s as it was really enjoyable still but I didn't feel like we made quite as much progress with the story as a whole and so I am hoping that the next few issues we shall get more into the overall adventure!

Lady Mechanika Vol 2: The Tablet of Destinies by Joe Benitez is another tour de force of strong storytelling and beautiful artwork that is sure to bring even more fans to this steampunk, adventurous and mystery solving title. When an unexpected visitor shows up on her door, Lady Mechanika embarks on an adventure that spans the globe. Secret societies and mad scientists stand in her path and soon Lady Mechanika must decide between the life of her young friend and saving the world.This second volu...

I loved the first "Lady Mechanika" story, so as soon as I was done, I dove right into the second installment. And now I don't know how to feel.All the cool stuff I loved from the first book was still here: the glorious outfits, the weird and extravagant machines, the amazing artwork. But there was a weird similarity to the plots of both books: both story-lines feature an evil mastermind with a cruel lady enforcer. The origins of Lady Mechanika's unusual body mods are no longer a concern, which w...

After finishing Lady Mechanika Vol 1, I quickly moved on to Vol 2. I was hoping it would be a continuation of her search for her maker, the madman who amputated her limbs and replaced them with metal ones. Sadly, that’s not what we get. However, it’s a good story on its own. Mechanika gets a visit from a little girl from her past whose grandfather is missing in Africa. Unfortunately, the little girl is kidnapped as a way to keep her grandfather in line. You see, he’s an archeologist, looking for...

The artist does a marvelous job on the steampunk feel of this comic. I admire complexity in artwork as much as I enjoy an entertaining story and here the two complement each other well.An old archeologist named Henry Thomsen and his German assistant Strassman travel to Africa in search of a powerful artefact called the Tablet of Destinies. Thomsen's granddaughter Winifred is worried when she stops receving his letters, so she asks her friend Lady Mechanika for help. Winifred is kidnapped by men

Pros: gorgeous artwork, fast paced story, lots of womenCons: Lady Mechanika returns to London in time to witness the kidnapping of Lewis’ niece. Seems the girl’s grandfather is part of an African expedition uncovering a long lost underground city. And within that city is the tablet of destinies, rumoured to be a powerful weapon.Once again the artwork is incredible. It’s lush and detailed.The story’s fast paced, going from one crisis or revelation to another. I enjoyed that this book had several
