Combat

“C’est l’histoire d’un photographe fatigué, d’une fille patiente, d’horreurs banales et d’un chat pénible”, écrit Larcenet. C’est aussi un scénario parfaitement maîtrisé, drôle — de cette drôlerie complice qui évite l’ironie — et tendre, en totale osmose avec un dessin hypersensible au bonheur et à la détresse. (Sans parler du chat ou d’Émilie, le moindre canapé est craquant.) Le combat ordinaire, histoire légère et bouleversante d’une renaissance, est l’album le plus personnel de Larcenet.

Gravel returns with a super-size launch issue and an all-new monthly series! Mike Wolfer has worked on every issue of Gravel to date, and he's back to his black magic ways, joined by artist Gabriel Rearte who is conjuring stunning pages! This #0 is a perfect starting place for new readers, with a self-contained story and a huge what-has-come-before summary of all the previous Gravel issues. After dismantling the aristocratic, magical hierarchy of England and surviving a war against a blood-thirsty serial killer, William Gravel disappeared. But even a man who can walk through walls cannot escape Combat Magic-fueled assassins. And he's not happy about it. Written by long-time Warren Ellis collaborator MIKE WOLFER, GRAVEL: COMBAT MAGICIAN presents a fresh starting point for new readers to enter the world of ultra-violent black magic.
