“This Hero's Journey”

From Image Comics in 2000, The Gear Station #1 launches "This Hero's Journey" with a cover — penciled by Dan Fraga and inked by Lary Stucker — that immediately signals something refreshingly different. A red-haired winged woman perches atop an elaborate golden gear mechanism against a luminous violet sky, her dragonfly-like wings catching the light with a delicate, otherworldly quality. The blend of mechanical imagery and fantastical figure work sets a compelling tone for this series from the creative team of Fraga, Alford, and Gilmore.

Former steamlord Arthur sneaks into floating Lockheart Castle to make time with the beautiful Princess Kiri. Drach Domo discovers them and tries to makes it look like Arthur has hurt her but Arthur teleports her away. The king commands Domo to kill Arthur and recover his daughter. Meanwhile, Bryce's father sends him to the big city to sell their last breeding animal so they can pay money that they owe to Domo. Instead, Domo's soldiers rip him off and blow up the family homestead. Arthur arrives and offers Bryce an opportunity for revenge.
