CRIMINAL, nejuznávanější kriminální komiks 21. století od Eda Brubakera a Seana Phillipse, vychází ve své druhé luxusní vázané knize. Tento vítěz několika Eisnerových a Harveyho cen, včetně ocenění za Nejlepší novou sérii, obsahuje tři samostatné příběhy – Zlou noc, Hříšníky a Poslední z nevinných – spolu s bonusy, články a dosud nepublikovanými komiksy. Každý příběh se soustředí na zločince, přičemž v noiru není vždy jasné, kdo je skutečným viníkem. Jacob Kurtz, kreslíř a bývalý padělatel, se ocitá jako vězeň ve vlastním domě, zatížený svou problematickou minulostí. Jeho minulost ho pronásleduje, dokud se mu neprojeví ve znepokojivých způsobech. Tracy Lawless, válečný veterán, se potýká s následky svých činů, když se snaží splatit dluh svého bratra, což se ukáže jako komplikovanější úkol, než si představoval. Riley Richards, zdánlivě úspěšný muž z malého městečka, skrývá temné tajemství pod svou charismatickou fasádou, což odhaluje, že jeho život není tak dokonalý, jak se zdá. Příběhy odhalují, jak se zločin a morálka prolínají v komplexním světě, kde nic není tak jednoduché, jak vypadá.

V úvodu druhé knihy série oceňovaných noirových mistrů se pro našeho hrdinu, samozvaného mstitele Dylana, věci konečně začínají obracet k lepšímu. Má od lékaře předepsané správné léky, mstitelskou kariéru zdárně ukončil a jeho osobní démon, zdá se, nenávratně zmizel. Takže je asi všechno v nejlepším pořádku, ne? No, bylo by, kdyby ruská mafie stále zatvrzele nepátrala po maskovaném muži, který zabil Bogdana, oblíbeného bratrance nejvyššího šéfa. A v momentě, kdy se tato brutální organizace Dylanovi konečně dostane na stopu, bude náš hrdina opět postaven před známou volbu… ZABIJ, NEBO BUDEŠ ZABIT. Nová úspěšná série ZABIJ, NEBO BUDEŠ ZABIT – od oceňovaných tvůrců komiksů CRIMINAL, FATALE a ZATMÍVAČKA – je podvratný pohled na mstitelský žánr, ultrafialový reflektor osvětlující nefunkční a nespravedlivý svět kolem nás. „Využívá prvky kriminálního žánru a psychologického i nadpřirozeného hororu, aby nám nabídla takový pohled na mstitelský kánon, jaký tady ještě nebyl… Rozhodně to není pro děti – ale ostatní by to určitě neměli propást.“ – Library Journal

Je možné zavraždit živou legendu? Scenárista Ed Brubaker to udělal. Ve třetím a závěrečném dílu omnibusu Captain America Steve Rogers umírá a navíc jako veřejný nepřítel číslo jedna. Red Skull oslavuje, Američané jsou v šoku. Nad Spojenými státy se stahují temné mraky. Kdo zachrání situaci, když je hrdina s hvězdami a pruhy mrtev? Kdo nastoupí na jeho místo, kdo zdvihne jeho štít? Je tu jediný možný kandidát. Pokud se odváží vyjít ze stínů ilegality a přijmout zodpovědnost, mohou být vrazi potrestáni a Amerika zachráněna. Omnibus obsahuje sešity 25-42 páté řády série Captain America.

Dylan je obyčejný, depresemi sužovaný vysokoškolák – dokud veškeré jeho představy o světě nezmění neúspěšná sebevražda… a nevyšle ho na nedobrovolnou dráhu maskovaného mstitele. Newyorské policii netrvá dlouho, než pochopí, že jim přímo vprostřed metropole maskovaný člověk zabíjí zločince, a sestaví vyšetřovací tým, který ho má chytit. A Dylan se mezitím propadá stále hlouběji do temnoty, do níž ho zavedla zvrácená smlouva uzavřená s démonem… „Zabíjej pro mě, nebo budeš zabit.“ Poté, co si komiksoví tvůrci Ed Brubaker a Sean Phillips při svém putování temnými žánry vyzkoušeli noir realisticky špinavý (CRIMINAL) i hollywoodsky klasický (ZATMÍVAČKA), lovecraftovskou variaci (FATALE), špionážní retro (VELVET) i odvrácenou stranu superhrdinského mýtu (SLEEPER, INCOGNITO), upřeli svou pozornost na další způsob archetypálního vyprávění: příběh samozvaného mstitele, násilně bojujícího se zlem zakořeněným v lidské společnosti. Ale nečekejte další variaci na Charlese Bronsona v Přání smrti – Dylan, hlavní hrdina ZABIJ, NEBO BUDEŠ ZABIT, je o něco realističtější, o dost sofistikovanější… a o hodně problematičtější.

The traditional heist story is turned on its head in COWARD. Leo can plan the perfect score, but only if he can be convinced the job is safe, because Leo is not a shoot-first think-later type of criminal. Leo is a professional, whose biggest desire in life is not to end up exactly where he belongs: in a prison cell.

Život jedné legendy. Smrt jednoho snu. Příběh Eda Brubakera zachycuje vše, co byste měli vědět o hrdinovi jménem Captain America. V tomto prvním svazku ze dvou naleznete třináct sešitů legendárního komiksu a příběh tajemného Zimního vojáka. Politické intriky, heroické akce, dobrodružství a ohromující kresba Steva Eptinga, Michaela Larka a Mika Perkinse dělají z Captaina Ameriky nevídaný komiks. Captain America, jeden z nejznámějších hrdinů marvelovského vesmíru, byl dlouho přehlížen kvůli svému americkému patriotismu. Ed Brubaker však přinesl příběh, který zásadně proměnil vnímání tohoto bojovníka. Steve Rogers přišel o svůj původní život, když byl sestřelen nacisty a na desítky let zamrzl v ledu. O ten nový přišel, když se rozpadl tým Avengers. Když z vězení uprchne jeho životní nepřítel Red Skull, Captainovi Amerikovi povolují nervy. Netuší, že se z hrobu chystá povstat duch z dávné minulosti. Brubaker představil čtenářům nového Captaina Ameriku, který se musí vyrovnávat nejen s jinou dobou, ale také s minulostí, protože Druhá světová válka skončila všude kromě jeho hlavy.

Sex, drugs, and murder in 1980s Los Angeles... And the best new twist on paperback pulp heroes since The Punisher or Jack Reacher. Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips, the modern masters of crime noir, bring us the last thing anyone expected from them - a good guy - in a bold new series of original graphic novels, with three books releasing over the next year, each a full-length story that stands on its own. Meet Ethan Reckless: Your trouble is his business, for the right price. But when a fugitive from his student radical days reaches out for help, Ethan must face the only thing he fears... his own past. "Imagine Redford at his peak, ambling through sun-drenched, eighties L.A. in a serpentine plot that is equal parts Long Goodbye and Point Break. No one does crime fic like Brubaker and Phillips and their collaboration has never felt more new. Explosive. Vital. And yes... reckless. I love this book." - Damon Lindelof (Lost, HBO's Watchmen) "Reckless is an absolute rush: on the same level as golden age Travis McGee novels and the hardest-hitting Richard Stark stories. This one comes at you as fast as Steve McQueen in a souped-up Mustang and as hard as Charles Bronson with a baseball bat. You gotta have it." - Joe Hill (Locke & Key, N0S4A2) Look for book 2 in the Reckless series in April 2021!

Následkem chvilkového rozhodnutí se ale Princezna pobertů ocitne v rukou Dynamického dua a prozradí svůj utajovaný původ.

Musel jsem přemýšlet o tom, jaké to je, když jste někým, kdo existuje na úplně jiné úrovni, kde neplatí žádná pravidla a máte obrovskou moc, a pak se najednou stanete obyčejným člověkem, kancelářským poslíčkem. S ohledem na to, kým jste býval, by to mohlo být horší než vězení. Tento příběh mě začal přitahovat, protože jsem si uvědomil, že mohu zvolit přístup, který by v Marvelu nebo DC nebyl možný, a tak jsem začal psát a vytvářet celý svět. Když jsem dospěl ke konci, měl jsem tolik nápadů, že jsem věděl, že budu muset napsat další příběh, možná i víc než jeden. První kniha představila Zacka Overkilla a jeho příhody v rámci Ochrany svědků, zatímco druhá kniha se vydala na temnější území, kde se dělí dobro a zlo. Luxusní vázané tajné vydání obsahuje jak původní příběh, tak jeho temnější pokračování, spolu s mnoha zákulisními bonusy, náčrty, kresbami a eseji odborníka na pulp.
