(W) Paul Allor (A/CA) Chris Evenhuis
Poor is the pupil who does not surpass his master. - Leonardo da Vinci
At the height of the Renaissance, warring factions vie for control of Leonardo da Vinci's destructive arsenal. The only thing standing in their way is Leonardo's young apprentice and her nine-foot tall mechanical bodyguard. Together, Isabel and the Machine must navigate a world of wicked men and war machines, determined to save Leonardo from the world-and the world from Leonardo.
From creators Paul Allor (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) and Chris Evenhuis (Wynona Earp) comes this swashbuckling adventure story about war, identity and the birth of the modern world!
MONSTRO MECHANICA Volume One contains the entire adventurous first arc, issues 1-5.
Writer Paul Allor and artist Chris Evenhuis take some liberties with the life of Leonardo da Vinci...but their sci-fi-tinged slant on Renaissance Italy truly pays off, with some gorgeous artwork and a compelling heroine making this a comic worth reading. - David Pepose, NEWSARAMA (STL085177)
