Au cœur de l'empire #2
This second volume of the French series 'Au cœur de l'empire' continues the story set in a fictional empire, collecting the next chapters of the saga. Published by Kymera, this trade paperback follows the narrative threads established in the first volume, delving deeper into the political and personal conflicts within the empire's heart.
In Au cœur de l'empire #2 (2008), Princess Victoria confronts the unsettling truth behind British imperialism while navigating the chaotic festivities of Victory Eve—her journey unexpectedly triggering her first jump through the time-stream. As Rose Wylde makes a desperate attempt to reach her, the line between past and present blurs in a story drawn with meticulous care by Bryan Talbot, whose full artistic hand—pencils, inks, and colors—anchors the narrative, with Angus McKie’s hues adding depth to the moment. The cover, also by Talbot, captures the tension of a world on the brink, its bold lines echoing the story’s unfolding mystery.
In "null," Princess Victoria attends a Leveller's meeting in a world where paratime agents scramble to reach Luther Arkwright, caught in the web of an enigmatic Orgone energy field that triggers a sudden, intense 4-page sequence of intimacy.
In the steampunk heart of a colonial empire, Princess Victoria stumbles upon a hidden truth about the British Empire’s true cost, unraveling everything she’s been taught. As the city buzzes with Victory Eve festivities, Rose Wylde reaches out from beyond the veil, and Victoria, caught between worlds, steps into a time-stream for the first time—her reality fracturing in ways she can’t yet comprehend.
