Thrill to the adventures of Cole Blaquesmith with STEAMPUNK: DRAMA OBSCURA, a 176-page volume collecting issues #6-12 of the CLIFFHANGER PRODUCTIONS series, all by the creative team of writer Joe Kelly (ACTION COMICS, JLA) and artists Chris Bachalo (DEATH: THE HIGH COST OF LIVING, Uncanny X-Men) and Richard Friend (WILDCATS)! STEAMPUNK: DRAMA OBSCURA collects the storylines "Mechanica Sundown" and "X," that tell the tale of Cole Blaquesmith as he sets out with his ragged band of steampunks to bring down the regime of Lord Absinthe. The trail is a long one, dense with difficulties and fraught with danger and mystery. Why is Fiona alive? Who are the Sundowns, and where do their loyalties lie? What is the secret of Mambutu X? And will Vicki ultimately betray Absinthe...or Cole? Finally, the twisted storyline rockets toward an appropriately epic conclusion involving a half-machine Napoleon, a war-crimes trial, and the final resolution of our heroes' feelings for one another, with the fate of war-torn France hanging in the balance!
