Our Soot Stained Heart – Issue 1

Launching with a double-length first issue — 48 pages of story for just $6 — Our Soot Stained Heart delivers an epic opening chapter filled with heart, grit, and breathtaking steampunk spectacle.

The Coalition is a city of wonder in the deep north, but it is ruled by the cruel Governor Glass and his factory lords. Coal is the lifeline of the city, and for honest workers like young Peggy Stones, life can be hard because of the nefarious quota. To get extra coal at the end of the year, you must be bad, every day! Peggy’s life is thrown into chaos when she is imprisoned and sent into exile, which begins a harrowing journey to the ends of the world to find answers that could change the world!

From the minds of debut writer Joni Hägg and superstar artist Stipan Morian (20th Century Men), with colorist Rope Mann and Eisner-winning letterer Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, comes the most thrilling steampunk adventure of the winter.
