Rex Mundi: The Lost Kings

Suite Rex Mundi with Volume # 3 entitled The Lost Kings.

Dr. Sauniere's investigation leads him gradually toward truth and startling revelations about the Church but also the powerful Duke of Lorraine. It continues to intrigue against the king Louis XXII, to attach the March of Spain, formed by the lands of Marquis of Catalonia, Navarra and Aragon.
A reunification which actually serves as a pretext, the Duke had promised to reject the Mohammedan hordes beyond the natural borders of Europe. The emirate of Cordoba is directly threatened, but by a series of alliances and a domino effect, such a company could set fire to the whole continent and lead England, Prussia, the Holy Roman Empire and Russia war.
Julien Saunière and his friend Dr. Tournon are ever in danger. By combining the secrets of the Duke, they might even bring down the foundations of Christianity ...

Six new episodes of Rex Mundi are now available. The scenario Arvid Nelson remains as thrilling. Hand drawing, ericj , we had already seen at work on the first two volumes (see Volume # 1 and Volume # 2 ) shares this time pencils Jim Di Bartolo with and Juan Ferreyra . It especially the work of the latter which deviates slightly from the atmosphere as we knew, with Face Smoother, which lose much in character.
But back to history. This is a quantum leap forward, both in terms of revelations on secrets about the Templars and the "real" kings of France, or the side of the political intrigues that are reminiscent of Other historical events are real. There are witnessing a parallel survey (albeit fascinating), type " Da Vinci Code", and skilled laborers geopolitical. The whole course always with the appearance uchronic and magic that are adding a special touch to the whole.
The functioning of the internal policy of France 30's is particularly well thought out. The power is actually shared between the king and the national assembly, split into two chambers, that of Swords, traditionally granted to the Duke of Lorraine, and that of the Dresses, whose members are generally loyal to the king. For a decision to be endorsed, it must seek the approval of two of these three "institutions." The ruler and his house of dresses could therefore always been to offer a sham of parliamentary monarchy, while in fact the king, sure to be supported, retained full powers. It is also striving to reverse this balance and rallying to his cause a majority of dresses that Machiavellian Lorraine took the reins of power, legally (or almost, his methods are sometimes quite speedy when s' acts convince undecided).
The system in place and its conquest are in any case fully described and a real asset to the story.

addition are the latest revelations, based pentagrams, skulls and other esoteric elements (which sometimes uses the Arthurian legend), we have right now with the usual newspaper clippings, a small gallery of artwork and a foreword by JH Williams III .
It is worth saying a few words about the latter because, although its author is cartoonist and writer, he managed to say still a lot of nonsense on his profession within a few lines. I'll quickly go through the nonsense and political considerations, such as "we ment", " Rex Mundi is essential to understand what the newspapers say Evening "(really?), To come to a most embarrassing and gratuitous statement that claims that this comic is" one of the few examples that will tell you something thought-provoking, and will be a breath of fresh air to our brains watered propaganda. "Well, I know it is customary to praise in general what is present in a preface, m 'finally here, he politely explains that readers are great fools gullible who need a comic to reflect on the world, and especially that most comics do not appeal to reflection.
Rarely has an author as denigrating his own domain (or it is just stupid and do not realize what he said, given the rambling about, I incline to this explanation). Obviously Rex Mundi , without denying its very real qualities, is far from the only comic book series to spark debate, to think or question our society or an aspect thereof. Afraid to say is to disregard the work of many artists who are much more than simply entertain or refourguer readers nice bright children's stories.
short, it is the preface the most stupid that I have read so far. The bar is high, but we certainly find better one day. It seems that we must never despair of fools.

Excellent album for a series that becomes increasingly addictive over the episodes.

Doggy Bags: chills, mild violence and held

This month arrives in bookstores Doggy Bags , title embarking on the trail of dead and EC Comics of exploitation films.

A new publication, very old school at heart, so is being launched by Ankama, under his label 619. From the editorial, the references can show a bit of the register three one-shots together in this first volume. It's actually register heir of the ancient and famous of EC horror comics, but also to take the trash and seductive film called "exploitation" (roughly, series B small budget, to attract the viewer, were based mainly on their side transgressive, sexy and gore).
So it's certainly not parodies but to "how to" in a very modernized first degree course.

We first Fresh Flesh & Chrome Hot by William Singelin . The author combines the basic concept of the club of bikers to the theme of lycanthrope. The gang of Lupus is actually made up of werewolves who will engage in the pursuit of an unhappy young girl.
His entry into the sympathetic, especially as the first board begins on Bad Moon Rising (Creedence Clearwater Revival group) just to get straight into the atmosphere. O)

It then connects with Masiko of Florent Maudoux , known for its excellent series Freak's Squeel . History we propose here is also directly related to the latter since it will focus the adventures of a young woman who turns out to be the mother of Little Panda (er, c 'is a nickname eh). The yakuza has some nice kits and will use all his art of fighting to get rid of.
Ambiance Kill Bill (this gun, it's cut) with a touch of humor and a touch sexy. A killer in every sense of the term.

then concludes by Dead or Alive of Run, which I had also already spoken to celebrate the release of Volume # 0 of Metafukaz . This is the relentless pursuit of a criminal, hunted by a cop that he killed a colleague. The promise of online publishing are required since it is entitled to a bloody and epic enough to a final unsavory, also announced as the cover with a lot of highly touted delicious punchline.

Work on Doggy Bags does not, however, is limited only to stories mentioned above. Everything was done for the dressing can be up to the stories and can participate in tone a bit retro. These ads are false (for brass knuckles, switchblade comb or a Bible which is provided with a mini-chopper!), The covers help to strengthen the side "published in parts", info-order general are at the beginning of each story (on the acronym 1% biker clubs for example, or the Colt 1911), the presentation of the authors received treatment, with photos showing the "situation" (as killer or martial arts expert), and finally, even the back cover has been worked and offers an original presentation. It also reflected, albeit more anecdotally, a poster detachable inside.
means that everything has been designed with a clear desire to deliver a book made with care, even in the smallest details. And hell, it's good to see people as serious and motivated! Especially since the text is perfect and the look of the whole does not lack charm. So, hopefully know the title a real success for it to continue. Moreover, in this regard, Doggy Bags research projects (35 pages) for future issues (to send to Run, director of this collection).

A very good introduction to this collection to jubilant excesses perfectly controlled.

Seven Sorcerers, Caro King

And presto, another small town in reading VO! About a children's book to cover beautiful ... but unfortunately that has not yet been translated into French. Never mind, here are some words that will give you might want to read the original version and publishers translate!


Abstract:

Nin never liked Wednesday, but it beats all records: she wakes up to find that it's raining buckets and his little brother has disappeared. Not only is it found and all his affairs too, but nobody seems to remember him. Nin and soon realizes that the thing that was removed still lurks in the area ... But she is determined to take this opportunity to trace his brother and bring him home, even if this adventure takes him into the magical and dangerous world of Seven Sorcerers.


My opinion:

It seems to me that this novel youth ranks in the same category as The Book of Lost Things I read some time ago. ; Is there a name for this particular genre, which incorporates the known tales, legends and childish images that populated our childhoods, assembling them in a frightening world that a child faces during a quest that will grow?

Because this is the plot of Seven Sorcerers. We find the monster closets, children stuck in another reality, feeling horrible for not exist for those we love, ghosts, a place that looks like a maze that can not come out alive, experience traumatic as the obvious metaphor of drug addiction, etc.. While searching a little, every experience, every adventure and every character in this bizarre world is a resonance of fears that a child has or will have to face. So I see this particular kind educational side: as heroin, which is however not presented as a superhero and share the anxieties of normal children, overcomes these tests, any kid can do.

That said, in The Book of Lost Things, the story was so far away in horror at times I wondered what would be the right audience for this book: it seems to me provides too much material to be read by a nightmare for a child. Seven Sorcerers is softer in the genre, giving it perhaps a watered appearance for adult readers. But me it suited me perfectly. The plot struck me as somewhat conventional offset by the humor of the whole, and I had fun during the reading.

Like others This common reading, I preferred the second part of the book, a sort of camera full of surprises. My favorite character is undoubtedly Skerridge I found really funny. I have a little more trouble with Jonas who seemed to lack depth and history. By cons I liked how the story of the Seven Sorcerers is distilled in the plot, its shared narrative between the characters.

short, in my case, I had a great time playing. I'm going now order the second volume of adventures!
