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.
