The Red Star

A bold fusion of Soviet-era military aesthetics and high fantasy, The Red Star launched from CrossGen in 2003, blending magic, technology, and political intrigue in an alternate-history world. Created by writer/artist Christian Gossett, the series follows the elite Red Fleet air force as it wields arcane power against a crumbling empire's enemies. Though its initial run was cut short after a single issue, its striking visual style and ambitious worldbuilding made it a standout cult title from the early 2000s, demonstrating CrossGen's willingness to experiment with genre and art.
