Steam Wars

A 2013–2014 miniseries from Antarctic Press, Steam Wars reimagines the iconic space opera as a steampunk alternate history, blending Victorian-era aesthetics with galactic conflict. The five-issue run is most associated with writer/artist Mike Wolfer, who crafts a world of brass-and-leather starships, clockwork droids, and coal-fired blasters. This series matters as a bold, self-contained genre mashup that strips away familiar technology to explore a classic battle between good and evil through a lens of retro-futuristic invention.
