Ghost War 01 - Red Dawn (2018)

In a near future, when oil reserves are running out, the bots - high tech, armored environmental suits and drones - make work easier for soldiers, handlers, and drillers... Drillers like Terry, who works on a maritime oil platform. But when unidentified bots attack the site, killing their friends and colleagues, Terry escapes to the mainland. There they team up with Iida, a waitress in the nearest coastal town, which has also been invaded by the bots. In spite of their differences, Terry and Iida find themselves leading the resistance in fighting back. Written by Jean-Pierre Pécau. Art by Stefano Martino.

Alt-Life (2018)

Script by Thomas Cadène - Art by Joseph Falzon. On a dying Earth in a not-so-distant future, Josiane and René are the first to enter a new virtual world where just about anything is possible… Part dystopian love story, part psychedelic meditation on human nature, “Alt-Life” takes the reader down a mind-bending rabbit hole of desire, loneliness, and self-discovery.

Texas Jack (2018)

Scenario: Dubois, Pierre. Drawing: Armand, Dimitri. Texas Jack is a local celebrity with his show and his eminent shooter skills. But the reality goes beyond the show the day he has to restore justice to the terrible Gunsmoke?

Nosferatu

After having disappeared for over half a century, he has awoken again to discover that his fellow vampires and his enemies only want one thing: to kill him. But neither the light nor the darkness want Nosferatu, the Undead. He understands that his only weakness was to have once loved. He is Nosferatu, the monster who wanted to live like a man. A comic by Olivier Peru and Stefano Martino.

The first vampire awakens in present day Mumbai after being betrayed in 1945. He gathers his powers for his return and revenge. Also features flashbacks to his time in Caligula's Rome. Fairly standard, perhaps even cliched, vampire book, I certainly think I can see where it's going. But the whole thing comes together fairly nicely with the art to make for a very enjoyable read. There is a second volume. But that hasn't been scanned yet.

Oracle

She is the Pythia, the messenger of the Gods. She sees the future, she knows the battles which will bring down the kings, the droughts which starve the peasants, the storms which take ships. But she does not enjoy the present. Scénario : Olivier Peru. Design : Stefano Martino. Oracle.

She lives alone in her temple, preserving the gift that made her one of the most powerful women in Greece. Until her power is taken away. Her last vision reveals the dark future that will befall the world. The Pythia must act now.  For revenge as much as to fight against fate, she will spill blood.
