Le jeune Arthur Vlaminck est embauché en tant que chargé du "langage" par le ministre des Affaires étrangères Alexandre Taillard de Worms. En clair, il doit écrire les discours du ministre ! Mais encore faut-il se faire une place entre le directeur du cabinet et les conseillers qui gravitent dans un Quai d'Orsay où le stress, l'ambition et les coups fourrés ne sont pas rares...

R. Kikuo Johnson has created an intimate and compelling graphic novel-length drama of young men on the cusp of adulthood. First-rate prep school, S.U.V., and a dream house in the heights: This was the island paradise handed to Loren Foster when he moved to Hawaii with his father six years ago. Now, with the end of high school just around the corner, his best friend, Shane, has grown distant. The rumors say it's hard drugs, and Loren suspects that Shane has left him behind for a new group of friends. What sets Johnson's drama apart is the naturalistic ease with which he explores the relationships of his characters. It is at once an unsentimental portrait of that most awkward period between adolescence and young adulthood and that rarest of things: a mature depiction of immature lives. Visually, Johnson captures the languid tropical climate and strip mall tackiness of Hawaii in a rich chiaroscuro style reminiscent of Milton Caniff combined with the sensual ink work of Paul Pope or Jessica Abel.

The girl he’s in love with doesn’t know he exists, he hates his job, and ever since his boss turned him into a vampire, he can’t go out in daylight without starting to charbroil.
Undead life in its uncoolest incarnation yet is on display in this cinematic, supernatural drama told with gallons of humor and hemoglobin. In striking, colorful, B-movie sty;e artwork and light-hearted, intelligent writing by Jessica Abel, Gabe Soria, and Warren Pleece, Dave Marshall’s story comes alive – in a vampiric kind of way.

El “Bim Bom” colinda con el malecón habanero y se ha convertido en una suerte de vitrina de pingueros, travestis y jineteras que ofrecen servicios sexuales a extranjeros. Posee un glamour trasnochado y decadente como los cabarets de mala muerte, un aire cosmopolita que huele a cerveza, sudor y a mar.

Esta es una de las primeras obras de Davodeau, representante de la nueva BD francesa, que sólo busca el entretenimiento a través de la aventura, pero en la que ya deja ver su talento tanto en la narración como en la planificación. Ya se aprecia el estilo que caracterizará el dibujo del francés en el futuro, y que adelanta trabajos mucho más maduros y personales: La mala gente, especie de documental gráfico sobre el movimiento católico obrero francés a través de la experiencia de sus padres es un perfecto ejemplo de cómic comprometido y de denuncia social, mientras que Caída de Bici demuestra cómo un buen guión puede convertir unos hechos en apariencia banales en una excelente historia.

Jayden descubre que Rainier ha estado drenando el poder mágico de Cole para fortalecerse él mismo, pero llega tarde para rescatarle, cuando aparece el señor oscuro en su verdadera y mortífera forma como un naitall. Mientras, Malikai termina por exponer el fraude del “ángel” Michael ante los seguidores de la Voz de Gabriel. Por otro lado, Grace presenta a Vanyss al grupo, pero su bienvenida es dejada de lado por las noticias de que el asesino tecnológico Abel ha regresado, y esta vez parece haber conseguido sus objetivos con su creación más nueva…

is an occult and horror-themed ongoing comic book anthology series based on the classic House of Mystery series that ran from 1951 to 1983. It is written by Bill Willingham and Matthew Sturges (writers of the Eisner-nominated Jack of Fables). It debuted in July 2008, published by the Vertigo imprint of DC Comics. It features a different story each issue, told by people trapped in a "purgatory-like" House of Mystery. They are gathered in the house bar where everyone must pay for their drinks with stories, and no one can leave without being picked up by the house's mysterious coachman. None of the house's occupants are sure why some people might get to leave and others not, so each person's stay is at least ostensibly eternal until the coachman inexplicably turns up to take them away. This doesn't stop some of the inhabitants from trying to get out. One of the characters in the series, Cain (of Cain and Abel), continually attempts to return to the House of Mystery, his home in the Dreaming (a fictional place; a comic book location in the DC Comics Universe; the domain of Dream of the Endless in Neil Gaiman's The Sandman). This issue is entitled "Entropy", part one of the story arc, " The Beauty of Decay."
