So, yeah, bit of a snoozer this one! Art was fab tho'! I find Joe Benitez J. Scott Campbell, no contest. Benitez brings the same gorgeous detail to this volume as he did for the first one. No character, not even Lady Mechanika, is "sexed up", allowing for character development and depth.

The story, unfortunately, did not hold as well as expected. I was great through the first two issues, feeling like I was witnessing an Indiana Jones-esque adventure. However, by the fourth issue, I felt the series had tanked. And the reveal (no spoilers, promise) of who the villains were made it seem like a cheap-ass SyFy Channel movie!

I have the third volume in my queue to read. Hopefully, it will not disappoint, as the first volume was all aces! My advice: skip it!
