LOVED THIS. The artwork is beautiful, the story is so richly layered, and Sephie is an awesome protagonist.

I’ve read and re-read this graphic novel since high school! CrossGen was to Western comics what classic Bioware was to story-driven video games as far as I’m concerned. Meridian still has valuable lessons to teach about power and how it affects people in their public and personal lives. And I’ll always be appreciative of how Sephie makes a great role model for young women.

This comic series from the early 2000s is one of my most under-hyped series. Meridian by Crossgen Comics (which has a possibility of getting a future revival now that the companies assets have changed hands from Disney to Marvel) is set in a world where all the inhabitants live in sky-bound islands as the result of a past natural cataclysm. Our main character Sephie acquires both her father's island nation and a mysterious, magical, sigil on her forehead at the start of the series. Because she is still young, her uncle takes her under his wing, claiming he will teach her to become a great minister, but truly, he has his own, independent, end game. The story is that of the the struggle between an enemy wishing to seize control over all surrounding nations and the people which fight to remain independent. To aid in this fight, Sephie must learn to use her new found power and influence, but first, she must discover what is really happening.
