Old faces, new places
We live in the age of the reboot, where every few years our favorite heroes are reimagined and given a fresh start. And who knows fresh beginnings better than Scrooge? We all know what his stance on Christmas was, but Munuera wonders if things would’ve been different if he’d been a woman.
We’ve also seen heroes turn into villains, and vice-versa, but what if they were merged together? Sure, Robin Hood is a good guy, but what if he and the sheriff of Nottingham were the same person? Brugeas, Herzet, and Dellac have created a twisted retelling of the popular legend.
Our beloved Marsupilami is back as well, thanks to the incredible imagination of Flix. Speaking of which, if you want to “flex” your muscles, especially the ones in your brain, then Catherine Meurisse’s fresh takes on Socrates, Rousseau, and Deleuze will definitely suit you.
Whatever you choose, you won’t miss, because we all need a fresh start from time-to-time.

What if the true story of Robin Hood turned out to be different from the one we know and love?
A forest, a sheriff, an outlaw who robs the rich to give to the poor… we all know how it goes. Disney made him popular, Kevin Costner made him sexy and Russell Crowe made him credible. But do we really know the whole story?
What if Robin Hood and the sheriff were one and the same person? What if the sheriff was actually just a normal guy, fed up with the King’s ridiculous new laws? What if he had found a way to keep his land in a good financial state simply by stealing from his own soldiers? Would it be worth the risk?
