T 1 The Mask of Fudo

(1)

‘‘“I believe in the flesh, it is there that the true soul of the samurai resides.” says Nobu Fudo when he makes his first appearance in “Legend of the Scarlet Blades”, the first epic written and drawn by Saverio Tenuta.

T 4 Blast

(4)

‘‘Polza Mancini, age 40, bum, ex-writer, ex-addict, ex-psychiatric ward inmate, lover, and (maybe?) innocent. One of my favorite things about this album is the addition of the “Jasper the Bipolar Bear” strips - funny, sad and true. “I’m in pain, Doc. I feel like I’m just drifting through...‘‘ Lire la suite

T 3 Blast

(2)

‘‘Polza Mancini, age 39, bum, ex-writer, addict, inmate in a psychiatric ward, and (maybe?) killer. After diving head first into his vagrant lifestyle, Mancini finds out maybe there’s a dark purpose to his actions. A random encounter with a (dead) soul mate shakes him to the core; the story...‘‘ Lire la suite

T 2 Blast

(5)

‘‘Polza Mancini, age 38, bum, ex-writer, drug dealer, and (maybe?) killer. His story unfolds answer by answer, as the questioning policemen get progressively annoyed with his metaphysical and mystical rendering of his booze and drug-fueled trip. As summer leaves, the forest gets colder, and...‘‘ Lire la suite

T 1 Blast

(8)

‘‘Polza Mancini, age 38, writer. Fat, disgusting, homeless. (wait, I’m wrong: “Not homeless! A bum. The former is a victim, the latter makes a choice.”) And a killer, now in police custody, telling his story the way he wants it. What is truth and what is fabulation? We don’t know - he’s a...‘‘ Lire la suite

L'homme qui inventait le monde

(42)

‘‘Le résumé proposé par l'éditeur raconte trois quarts de l'histoire et préfigure la fin, ne m'accusez pas donc de trahir des secrets. En bref, la Terre est sur le point de perdre une guerre spatiale, et la race humaine est au bord de l'extinction (ce qui n’est pas évident - dans le New...‘‘ Lire la suite

T 1 Demande à Modigliani !

(2)

‘‘Ne jugez pas ce livre par la couverture! :) Oui, ma nièce de six ans peut dessiner ça, mais c’est un choix assumé. L'art "naïf" transmet le message que le travail acharné et le dévouement comptent, qu’on peut tous être artistes, tant qu'on a quelque chose de pertinent à dire. Et cette...‘‘ Lire la suite

T 1 My Dearest Self With Malice Aforethought

(1)

‘‘Eiji Urashima is a loser - an unremarkable, silly, virgin college student that dreams of girls and a better life, but instead of working towards that life he spends his nights drinking - so much that sometimes he can’t remember what he did last evening. One morning, he wakes up next to a...‘‘ Lire la suite

T 2 My Dearest Self With Malice Aforethought

(1)

‘‘Under the mask of a carefree student, Eiji Urashima hides a terrible secret that shaped his life from early childhood - he’s the son of a serial killer, his mother killed herself due to the guilt, and he was adopted by the cop that believed (mistakenly) in his father’s innocence. Even...‘‘ Lire la suite

Time slows down for objects approaching the speed of light, so in the Lightstep worlds, the higher you are on the social ladder, the longer you...‘‘ Lire la suite

Banana Girl

(33)

‘‘“Banana Girl” est un mémoire léger, drôle et modérément éducatif qui montre le monde à travers les yeux d'une gamine de six ans originaire de Hong Kong dont la famille déménage à Paris. Les conditions de vie précaires, la langue inconnue, le choc culturel, le racisme - tout est là, mais...‘‘ Lire la suite
