sci-fantasy and steampunk

[robotacon]

I have this love for fantasy/sci-fi and steampunk miniseries.

What do you guys think about "Ironwolf - Fires of the revolution"
or "Camelot 3000"? I like "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" too.

Does anyone have any good tips?

Ps. I hate the comic book called "SteamPunk" though, it's just horrid!

Hey, check out the graphic novel FIVE FISTS OF SCIENCE by Matt Fraction and Steven Sanders (Image Comics, $12.99). You might enjoy it.

From Amazon's editiorial book review blurb: True Story: in 1899, Mark Twain and Nikola Tesla decided to end war forever. With Twain's connections and Tesla's inventions, they went into business selling world peace. So, what happened? Only now can the tale be told - in which Twain and Tesla collided with Edison and Morgan, an evil science cabal merging the Black Arts and the Industrial Age. Turn of the century New York City sets the stage for a titanic battle over the very fate of mankind.

Anyone got any other tips?

I enjoyed Camelot 3000 quite a bit. It was a different angle on the Camelot characters re-incarnated in the far future, facing an alien invasion.

Grimjack: There was a six-issue mini last year, plus they have been publishing trade collections of the classic series. It incorporates science-fiction and fantasy elements in one wild setting, a city composed of multiple overlapping realities, each with its own laws of physics and sometimes magic.

Dreadstar: I don't know if there were any trade paperbacks, but this was an excellent series for the first three years. It's basically a science-fiction series, only there are also some very powerful sorcerors involved.

sounds vaguely similar to image's alter-nation miniseries from a few years ago -- set in a similar time period & featuring the likes of (if memory serves ... i read it a couple of months ago) mata hari, annie oakley, billly the kid, edison, twain, teddy roosevelt, etc.

Sci-Fi eh? I think some people need to check out 2000AD. The single best source of new sci-fi comics currently. It's a weekly anthology (though diamond distributes it two issues every two weeks in the US) 32 color pages, usually broken into 4 or 5 parts of numerous ongoing stories. Every issue has a new Judge Dredd story, easily one of the best in current action/adventure sci-fi crime fiction.

The title has spawned dozens if not hundreds of sci-fi (and some fantasy) strips, many which are collected regularly by their publisher Rebellion (and recently a few years ago, DC).

I highly recommend it to anyone looking for more Sci-fi in their comics diet.

There are at least two (color) Dreadstar tpb's released. I own them, and they're quite good.
