The Victorian #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the first story arc of The Victorian, a series set in an alternate steampunk Victorian era. Act I: Self-Realization follows the origin and early adventures of the titular hero as he comes to terms with his unique abilities and his role in a world of advanced technology and dark conspiracies. Written by Carl Critchlow and featuring art by various contributors, this trade paperback gathers the opening chapters of the saga from Penny-Farthing Press.
In "Act 1: Self-Realization," a mysterious figure known only as the Victorian stirs chaos in New Orleans, leaving police baffled as criminals confess to crimes they didn’t commit. Meanwhile, in the past, a young Laslo undergoes secret training with the enigmatic Order of the Blue Rose, setting the stage for a story that weaves together past and present. Written by Trainor Houghton and Lovern Kindzierski, with art by Martin Montiel Luna and inks by Jose Carlos Buelna, this issue features a cover by Bob Larkin, all set against the backdrop of a world where secrets run deeper than the surface.
In 1963, young Winston "Fitz" FitzRandolph watches in horror as his mother and aunt are taken by unseen forces during a storm. Decades later, aboard the nuclear submarine HMS Stormbringer in the Norwegian Sea, Fitz—now a man haunted by that night—faces a new kind of dread as the vessel encounters a deep-sea anomaly that echoes the trauma of his past.
In "Chapter 6: Fin De Siecle," the city teeters under a strange wave of self-incrimination, as criminals surrender en masse, whispering of a man in a hat who haunts their dreams. With FitzRandolph stepping down from the university and tensions rising, the uneasy alliance of The Victorian, Doc Shumpert, Hal Keller, Reyna Starkweather, Claude Ballare, Buford Crown, and Miss White must unravel the mystery before the city itself collapses into chaos.
In a city teetering between chaos and revelation, the Victorian uncovers a secret buried beneath Nevada’s desert—nuclear missiles hidden in plain sight. Meanwhile, in a forgotten chapter of history, young Laslo Gerevich begins his initiation into the enigmatic Order of the Blue Rose, as shadows of the past stir beneath the surface of New Orleans’ present turmoil.
