U4

“My name’s Jules. From the window of my Paris apartment, I’m looking in horror at the piles of bodies in the street below. My parents are on the other side of the world. They’re almost certainly dead. My older brother, Pierre, can only drown his sorrow in drugs, but I must look after Alicia, a little girl who somehow escaped the virus and is all alone. But what can I do for her? My only hope is to join the other Warriors of Time masters… You choose which volume to read first. The first four are parallel stories, so it doesn’t matter which one you start with. But you must finish with Khronos, where the four threads are finally brought together. Script by Pierre-Paul Renders, Denis Lapière - Art by Adrián Huelva.

Rose

Ever since she was a little girl, Rose has had a special and troubling power: the ability to "double" herself and travel outside her body. She always saw it as something wrong with her... until now. When her father is murdered, Rose's strange ability gives her a chance to find her father's killer, solve a series of mysterious cold cases, and untangle a centuries-old curse. But maybe some secrets should stay buried... Script by Denis Lapière, Émilie Alibert - Art by Valérie Vernay.

An experiment in social isolation turns into a journey of self-discovery as a photojournalist commits to spending sixty days in New York city without talking to a single person. More than just an exercise in observation and self-control, he's hoping to forget a troubled past and mend a broken heart. But the city has a sneaky way of throwing the best laid plans and noble efforts to waste, revealing secrets that lie right in front of him. All he has to do is open his eyes . . . A touching, vividly illustrated journey through contemporary modern New York, exploring what it takes to find yourself—and maybe your soul mate—in the middle of a crowded, bustling modern world. By Giacomo Bevilacqua (Author, Artist)

The Season of Eels (One shot)

History in four seasons, history of hate and scorn, tenderness and love. Glaucous swampy world where everything rotten, stone, money, people. A comic book by Denis Lapière and Pierre Bailly.

The action takes place at the “Poitevin marches”, where a family lives devastated by shameful, contradictory and violent passions. Center of this tale; a sort of “simpleton” a mute who spend his life running in the forest and in his canoe.. The only hope for this world at the edge of drowning, it’s the heat of skin, the fugitive tenderness of hearts.
