The War of the Orcs

"For and by war, live and die in Orc". Obeying these millennial words, the Orcs plow in steel and blood the lands that are on their way. But for several years, Elves, Dwarves and Men have joined forces to exterminate orcs and decimate this race. Today, their victory is almost total. All that remains for them is to kill their king and his last brave men. Among the survivors, an Orc does not intend to flee before the enemy. His name is Kil'Tyrson and seems the only hope. Yet his eyes are pale, a mark of cowardice for the Orcs, and in his blood flows the most infamous of vices: cunning. Could it be that the last Orc to brandish iron on a battlefield is not the best but the worst? Screenplay: Peru, Olivier. Drawing: Daxiong.

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.

Zombies

Zombies is a series of comic post-apocalyptic imagined by Olivier Peru and Sophian Cholet . A spin-off derived from the series (Volume 0) exists, and the authors are working on others, including the series Zombies Néchronologies. In the first cycle, Sam flees the epidemic ravaging the planet and turns men into hungry undead. Neither particularly good nor inherently bad, Sam does his best to survive and try to find her daughter. In his quest, he makes surprising encounters that will help him remember what it means to be human. In Volume 0, we find one of the iconic characters of the first round, Serge Lapointe, at the beginning of the epidemic. We discover what a man he was before and what events led him to become the man we meet in the first round. The screenwriter, Oliver Peru, advises reading the first cycle before Volume 0, but this volume is a story that can be read quite independent from the series.
Human beings should not reign at the top of the food chain. The zombies have stolen his place and nothing seems to stop them. Is this the end of humanity? Not sure for some it is only a beginning. Six billion people covered with flies trying to kill some other does not change much within the meaning of the word civilization. This is what makes Sam a man who owes its salvation to Smith & Wesson and a little luck. He fled the cities and left her daughter behind. Yet now that silence reigns over the United States, he still believes in life. And his conscience, treacherous hitherto chloroform, reminds him that staying human is hope. He has to find it the only way to survive. Like looking for a straw in a bunch of needles.

Soon, it turns out that Fendraël was manipulated by a powerful drug. To understand what happened, we have to get back on track and followed the deceased into a world where power and wealth thirsty hides perhaps something even more disturbing. The context has been properly inserted in the first volume, it is not hard to get caught in this second episode and slip into no Sasmaël. Of course, history proves to be a "mere" fantasy thriller and the hero emerges slightly less attractive than the torture and violent Obeyron. However, Nicolas Jarry has sufficient experience to be seduced by providing a solid plot made ​​of brilliance shots and twists. Using a voiceover in the first person is not heavy and deepens the feeling of the Master Inquisitor.
