Meridian

In this 2001–2002 fantasy series from Lexy Produzioni, writer Barbara Kesel and artist Joshua Middleton craft a coming-of-age story set in a world where floating islands are powered by a mysterious energy source. When a young woman inherits her father's role as Keeper of the Meridian, she must navigate political intrigue and a looming conflict that threatens to shatter her society. Middleton's luminous, painterly art brings the airborne landscapes and emotional depth to life, making this short run a visually stunning and narratively rich gem from the early 2000s indie comics scene.
