Gagner la guerre

Le Royaume de Ressine (2)

By Frédéric Genet & Jean-Philippe Jaworski

Publisher: Le Lombard
Genres: Fantasy & Esoteric 

Winning the war is great, but when it comes times to split up the spoils among the victors — clans of nobles rotten with pride and ambition — the coup de grâce given to the enemy becomes nothing but an appetizer. It’s enough to make you miss the good old battlefield, codified by the art of war. Benvenuto is a hitman, without a doubt the best in all of the Ciudalia Empire. His latest mission — getting rid of a nobleman who’s come to nose around in the ghetto — is supposed to be a cinch, but the mark turns out to be much tougher than he thought.
Now Benvenuto is supposed to work for the powerful Ducatore, but he might also have other unofficial missions not that irreproachable… This second volume (out of 5) brings us a step forward in deep negotiations, maritime battles, political machinations and turnarounds.

By Cosey

Graphic novel
Publisher: Le Lombard
Genres: Drama, Crime & Mystery 

In the late 1920s, Melvin Z. Woodworth is an author with writer’s block and a mystery to solve. He takes a vacation to the Swiss Alps to try and kill two birds with one stone—and do some excellent hiking and skiing while he’s at it. But the little village, so long slumbering on the wrong side of the Industrial Revolution, is threatened by a force of nature—and, of course, contains secrets of its own. Cosey’s masterful graphic novel is presented here in full-color English translation for the first time: an ode to nature, culture, mythology, and a simpler—yet riskier—time.

Les Chevaliers du ciel Tanguy et Laverdure

Tanguy & Laverdure – Anniversaire 60 ans (one-shot)

Genres: Action & Adventure 

Michel Tanguy and Ernest Laverdure, otherwise known as the “Riders of the Sky,” are an inseparable duo who’ve been on the scene since the very first issue of Pilote magazine in 1959. The first is brave and rather reserved, and the second eccentric, boastful, and a bit of a heartbreaker. But despite his never-ending quips and silliness, Laverdure is the wingman Tanguy relies on when he gets himself into tricky situations. Adventure and espionage make up the day-to-day life of our two heroes who, on the ground or in their plane, manage always to maintain their unwavering patriotism.
