Second Life of Doctor Mirage (1993) #16
Part 1 of 3. With Master Darque out of the picture, it was only a matter of time before a new wielder of necromantic energy appeared to endanger the planet. The evil Deathsmith arises to seize the vacant necromantic throne, and, as a brief aside, kill everyone who gets in his way!
It's up to Carmen and Dr. Mirage to stop this powerful necromancer who creates strange destructive machines out of dead things. Meanwhile, Dr. Mirage must also deal with one of his worst nightmares come to life -- his in-laws!
