Anklets On Prostitutes?

Do not miss the inevitable!

Launching a new magazine preprints of BD is an event. For several years, the landscape of comics news is devastating effect: it remains Spirou for children Lanfeust Mag for fans of fantasy and Fluide Glacial for humor. Problem, not only do these magazines are highly targeted but they also belong to publishers (Dupuis for the first, second and sun for the last Casterman). With the inevitable , Frédéric Bosser, creator of the journal DBD , attempts a daring: to propose preprints album in preview and in full on three or four numbers. Above all, the inevitable being bound to any vendor, the proposed series will be drawn from different catalogs, which will vary the genres and themes. A priori not be published until the first books or series whose episodes can be read independently.

Question form The unavoidable is the simplest: a thematic, a short interview of author before each published title for the rest, nothing but boards BD. Roughly one third of editorial for two thirds of preprints.

air of nothing, if we do the accounts, the amateur comic a bit curious given the opportunity to discover new all very different at lower costs. Each issue costing € 6.50 and pre-published seven albums have been entirely from the 3rd issue. € 19.50 to read as many comics, hard to beat!

Personally, the first two numbers are in my PAL. From March 20, I could get into the reading of seven new titles to appear or have appeared only bookshops. Perhaps new discoveries to share in the BD Wednesday Mango ?

How To Disable Menu In Nero

Legends T2 Guard: Winter 1152

Winter 1152. Mice that live in the territories are a community divided between different villages built in safe places and hidden from predators. To facilitate the exchange of goods and to protect themselves, small rodents were created in ancient times an elite corps, the Guard. Its members are escorts, serve as scouts and sentries. They protect the borders and are particularly fierce fighters. Having foiled the attempted takeover of felon Midnight (in Volume 1), mice face a terrible winter. Noting the lack of food and medicines, Gwen, the matriarch of the Guard, sending eleven adventurers face the dangers of a hostile environment to ensure the faster refueling ...

David Petersen is a party any idea simple: the mouse, too small to go with other animals, have formed a community can live in total isolation. But how can they survive in a world where predators abound? Answer: Based on an elite corps desperate to protect his family. On this canvas rather brief, it has forged a coherent political and social organization while creating endearing characters to the characters well marked. Above all, he did not fall into the trap of making disneyien his narrative a trifle bland. His series aimed at children but he does not hesitate to stage a terrible battles that do not leave free the protagonists. His mice suffer, they die. Their environment is not sweet and warm, it is very rude. It is also the difference between drawing very animal oriented "youth" and the content sometimes difficult to give a stamp to these very special Legends custody.

Drawing precisely, let's talk! The author proposes a sheet size atypical, almost square. He does not hesitate to make huge spaces where details abound and above or no room is left for any error of perspective or proportion failing to jump to the reader. Result is sublime, simply. Movement the camera is incredibly fluid. Plans succeed, the more exciting one than the other. Anything goes: very close, snorkeling, diving cons, full-page illustration ... A real drawing lesson at the service of storytelling that avoids the pitfalls of pure technical demonstration. The work on the colors is also impressive. The pages are held outside in the snow are chilling and those in an obscure underground are distressing to perfection. Restitution environments based on settings is nearly perfect.

Not much to add. It's beautiful, very beautiful. Not original on the merits, of course. But perfectly clear and led in its construction. I do not know what to look like in their original volumes but for the French edition, Gallimard brought out the big game: square format, thick cardboard, map territories page, high quality paper, and bonus epilogue end authority, in short, something wonderful book.

between Tolkien and Beatrix Potter, a young comic book of exceptional quality.

PS series in 2008 won two Eisner Awards, the most prestigious American comics (the best price youth publication, Best graphics).
