Meridian, Vol. 1: Flying Solo

An interesting little fantasy story filled with flying airships, floating cities, and evil family members that hold the power of ultimate destruction within them. It starts out as a fairly standard YA adventure story, kept afloat by Kesel's strong characterizations, and near the end of this first volume starts branching out in some interesting directions.

The more Crossgen titles I read, the sadder I am that the company went bankrupt - they really were creating some interesting, complex books and it would be interesting to see them keep going.
