The Fortress of Solitude

Nous vous proposons dans cet album, l'une des séries les plus atypiques de Marvel, dans laquelle le romancier Jonathan Lethem, assisté de Karl Rusnak, réinvente un concept imaginé par Steve Gerber (le créateur d'Howard the Duck) dans les années 70. Sublimée par l'univers graphique étrange de Farel Dalrymple, cette saga raconte l'histoire de Titus, un jeune orphelin tentant de surmonter la mort de ses parents, dans un monde peuplé de robots et de super-héros déjantés. Il ignore encore qu'il a un destin commun avec un héros venu d'une autre planete, Oméga. Ensemble, ils vont affronter la menace du super-héros local, le Vison, et d'un virus nano-technologique qui menace la ville. A ne surtout pas manquer !

Oméga l'inconnu

Acteur retraité, Chase Insteadman vit de ses royalties et d’apparitions mondaines à Manhattan. Il rencontre Perkus Tooth, un ancien critique qui l’entraîne dans ses délires excentriques. Entre absurdité et érudition, les deux amis tentent d’expliquer d’étranges incidents : un tigre rôde dans l’East Side, une odeur de chocolat plane sur la ville et un brouillard permanent efface les gratte-ciel…

Chronic City

A hard-boiled detective tale full of talking animals and murder, from the award-winning author of Motherless Brooklyn and The ArrestWinner of the Locus Award for Best First Novel Gumshoe Conrad Metcalf has problems-there's a rabbit in his waiting room and a trigger-happy kangaroo on his tail. Near-future Oakland is a brave new world where evolved animals are members of society, the police monitor citizens by their karma levels, and mind-numbing drugs such as Forgettol and Acceptol are all the rage. Metcalf has been shadowing Celeste, the wife of an affluent doctor. Perhaps he's falling a little in love with her at the same time. When the doctor turns up dead, our amiable investigator finds himself caught in a crossfire between the boys from the Inquisitor's Office and gangsters who operate out of the back room of a bar called the Fickle Muse. Mixing elements of sci-fi, noir, and mystery, this clever first novel from a beloved author is a wry, funny, and satiric look at all that the future may hold.

Gregory Crewdson

Conrad Metcalf has problems. He has a monkey on his back, a rabbit in his waiting room, and a trigger-happy kangaroo on his tail. (Maybe evolution therapy is not such a good idea.).

When the doctor turns up dead, Metcalf finds himself caught in a crossfire between the boys from the Inquisitor's Office and gangsters who operate out of the back room of the Fickle Muse. Jonathan Lethem's first novel is a science fiction mystery. It's funny. It's not so funny.
