Neotopia Vol. 2: The Perilous Winds of Athanon

In Neotopia Vol. 2: The Perilous Winds of Athanon, Rod Espinosa continues his creator-owned saga for Antarctic Press, sending his cast across a vividly imagined fantasy world. This five-issue story arc, launched in 2003, expands the steampunk-tinged universe of the original Neotopia with aerial adventures and new dangers. Espinosa writes and draws the entire series, making it a showcase for his distinctive manga-influenced artwork and world-building. It matters as a key chapter in one of the more ambitious independent fantasy epics of the 2000s.
