ZE SVĚTA ČERNÉ PALICE
Spiral City se zmítá v začarovaném kruhu zločinu, korupce a násilí. Jediný, kdo se nebojí prosmýčit i ty nejtemnější kouty, je maskovaný ochránce Drtileb, sám balancující na hraně zákona. Avšak ve chvíli, kdy z ústavu pro choromyslné uprchne hanebný padouch Škleb, budou muset Drtileb a jeho pomocník Kostřík vynaložit veškeré síly, aby před ním město ochránili.
Přeživší lidé a děti z nové generace zvířecích hybridů hledají po letech strastí odpovědi. A zdá se, že je mohou najít jen na jediném místě na celém světě: na severní Aljašce. Právě v této vzdálené zamrzlé divočině se poprvé objevila nemoc, která se pak rozšířila po celé zeměkouli. Gus, Jepperd a jejich přátelé cestují na sever do odlehlé výzkumné základny, kde se narodil Gus, v naději, že porozumění zdroji nákazy přinese lék. Jaká síla byla vypuštěna ve zmrzlé tundře? Půjde ji zastavit? I kdyby přeživší dosáhli svého cíle, možná už nebudou mít koho zachraňovat…Závěrečný díl Gusova a Jepperdova post-apokalyptického putování přináší infarktový a srdcervoucí konec. Knihu napsal a nakreslil Jeff Lemire (Descender, GREEN ARROW) s přispěním Matta Kindta (Mind MGMT) a tvoří ji sešity 26–40, dosud nezveřejněné skici a rozhovor s autorem, vedený Damonem Lindelofem (spolutvůrcem Ztracených a Pozůstalých).
Lidské rase nastaly nejtemnější časy. Za sedm let od doby, kdy se objevila nákaza, zemřely miliardy lidí. Všechny narozené děti tvoří podivnou novou rasu hybridů ze zvířat a lidí.
Jeden z mála přeživších lidí, tulák jménem Jepperd, si k jednomu takovému dítěti, milému jelenímu chlapci Gusovi, vytvořil pouto. Dokonce i mezi hybridními dětmi však Gus představuje anomálii, protože to vypadá, že se narodil ještě před epidemií.
Ve víře, že Gusova minulost může být klíčem k původu nemoci, zamíří Jepperd s chlapcem společně na sever na Aljašku. Doufají, že když se jim podaří rozkrýt příběh jeho zrození, dozví se též, jak nemoc vyléčit.
Jedna znepokojivá otázka však zůstává: Jestli Gus není výsledkem nákazy, nebyl její příčinou?
MLSOUN, napsaný a ilustrovaný Jeffem Lemirem (Descender, GREEN ARROW), zkoumá fenomény laskavosti a krutosti v nebezpečném postapokalyptickém světě. Tento druhý díl ze tří tvoří sešity č. 13–25, galerie od největších talentů komiksového průmyslu a předmluva koloristy Josého Villarrubii.
Malý Tim 21 se po zjištění, že jeho základní kód obsahuje informaci, která by mohla odhalit původ vražedných Ženců, stává tím nejhledanějším robotem v celé galaxii. Na každém kroku je pronásledován mocnými nepřáteli, zatímco hrstka jeho spojenců musí čelit temné minulosti, která je může postavit proti sobě. Druhá Žeň je na spadnutí a v Timových drobných mechanických ručkách leží osud celé galaxie.
Emotivní akční space operu společně stvořili uznávaný scenárista Jeff Lemire a výtvarník Dustin Nguyen.
Chlapec a hromotluk.
Před sedmi lety se jako lesní požár rozšířila nákaza a zabila miliardy lidí. Jediné děti, které se od té doby rodí, patří k nové rase hybridů člověka a zvířat. Jedním z nich je i Gus, milý chlapec se sklonem k mlsání a jeleními rysy.
Na děti, jako je Gus, je však vypsaná odměna. Když se v jeho odlehlém lesním domově objeví krutí lovci, zachrání Guse záhadný násilník jménem Jepperd. Hromotlucký tulák Gusovi slíbí, že ho odvede do rezervace, bájného bezpečného přístavu pro hybridní děti.
Jak jejich protloukání novým a nebezpečným americkým pohraničím asi dopadne: zkazí Jepperd chlapce, kterého překřtil na „Mlsouna“, nebo se ho Gusovi podaří prostřednictvím svého srdce změnit?
MLSOUN se scénářem a kresbou nesmírně talentovaného Jeffa Lemirea je napínavý příběh o přežití v post-apokalyptické Americe – o přátelstvích, navázaných za tragických podmínek, a o lidském dobru a zlu.
