Benitez Returns for Lady Mechanika: The Mechanical Menagerie This May 🚀

Guest-written by Madeleine Holly-Rosing, The Mechanical Menagerie unleashes forgotten horrors and clockwork chaos

Acclaimed creator Joe Benitez returns to the world of Lady Mechanika with an all-new chapter in Lady Mechanika: The Mechanical Menagerie. Written by Madeleine Holly-Rosing (Boston Metaphysical Society) and illustrated by Benitez and Martin Montiel, this four-issue miniseries plunges readers into a haunting steampunk mystery this May from Image Comics.

When Lewis, Fred, and Allie stumble upon an abandoned amusement park, their curiosity awakens something that should have remained lost to time. As strange mechanical threats emerge from the shadows, Lady Mechanika teams up with Inspector Singh to investigate the whereabouts of the sinister Mistress Grimm and her elusive Reapers—before the past claims even more victims.

“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!”

Blending action, adventure, and gothic steampunk spectacle, The Mechanical Menagerie is a perfect entry point for new readers and a must-read for longtime fans of the series.

Lady Mechanika: The Mechanical Menagerie #1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, May 6:

Cover A by Benitez and Sabine Rich
Cover B by Benitez, Montiel and Rich
Cover C 1:10 copy incentive by Benitez and Montiel

Lady Mechanika: The Mechanical Menagerie will also be available across many digital platforms, including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play.
