The steampunk police procedural continues! Mort and Jo face off against a monstrous machine, while the Alchemy Academy makes bold political moves behind the scenes. Action, magic, and political intrigue await in The Precinct from Frank J. Barbiere and Crizam Zamora.

Like the previous issue the combination of steampunk, and mysticism in The Precinct is an entertaining and unique mix. This issue continues the thrill ride as the mystery of the mechanical bull monster is unraveled. Even the Alchemy Academy seems to have a plan to seize power, and change the world of steam. Seriously looking forward to next issue, to see how the plot changes.

The artwork by Crizam Zamora is superb and detailed. Even the flying “machine,” seen in the early panel is well detailed and shares a degree of realism. In contrast to this, the arcane part of the story is colorful, almost alive in nature. That gives a nice balance compared to the cold nature of the machines that are seen throughout world.
