The Rundown: Lady Mechanika continues her investigation while Lewis and the kids learn more about the park.

Lewis finds himself caught between the two warring toy makers as they recount their history and the circumstances that led to their feud. They also discover that one of the automatons is responsible for bringing them back together and locking them all in the basement. The same automaton that goes after Fred and Allie and captures them as well.

Lady Mechanika and the Inspector find getting a meeting with Blackpool to be more difficult. Mechanika discovers that the man she’s seeking is at the opera. She finally meets with him and gets more than she bargained for from the meeting. After leaving, she and the Inspector make their way to the park to continue their investigation, not knowing the danger they just walked into.

The Story: Holly-Rosing crafts a thrilling, entertaining story in this issue. I continue to enjoy the story and the world being created in this issue. There are some great character moments throughout the story and I really enjoy the different types of drama happening in both parts of the story. I like the mystery that is unfolding in this issue and the series continues to create some great drama and thrills. I cannot wait to see what happens next.

The Art: Benitez and Montiel create some beautifully detailed and visually engaging art throughout the issue. I love the character designs a lot.
