Skies of Fire (2016)
Chosen by me at Thought Bubble. Because it has blimps. Blimps are cool
Achingly beautiful each panel is constructed with great care.
Unfortunately that is not always the case with the pages as a whole. Sometimes the flow of action is a little hard to decipher and the narrative logic of a panel placement does not always seem natural.
This is the first Thought Bubble book I've looked at that is not a complete story, and it is a bit of a slow burn, spending a few pages just delivering some coffee.
But, oh boy, it is pretty.
The story is not much in the first issue, a pirate, an undervalued Captain who does things their own way, a complacent military. But reasonably interesting in a sketched in way and some cool Alan Moore style back up material fleshing out the world.
Did I mention how gorgeous it was?
