Elves Vol. 1 launches this stunning comic series from authors Jean-Luc Istin and Kyko Duarte, an epic saga of high fantasy where Elven races face conflicts that shape their world. The Blue Elves of Ennlya, a small port town of Nordrenn, have been murdered! Lanawyn, a Blue Elf, and Turin, her human ally, set out to discover who is responsible. The trail they uncover leads back to a clan of Yrlans—Northern men who hate Elves. At the same time, Vaalann, a young Blue Elf, undergoes a dangerous test called the Water of the Senses. Her future, as divined by the Mother Prophetess, is closely linked to the Sacred Crystal . . . a powerful artifact that enables the wielder to control the ocean itself! Could Vaalann be the messiah that the Blue Elves have been waiting generations for? The Sylvan Elves have hidden themselves away from the world, jealously preserving their independence and sacred grounds. Anyone who dares enter their territory soon becomes their prey. Eysine, City-State of the East, has always observed respect for the ancient pact between Elf and Man. But when a powerful army of Ork mercenaries lays siege to the kingdom, Llali, the daughter of the King of the city, must remind the Elves of the treaty that previously linked their two peoples. This tale is that of two races who have forgotten their shared past. It is also that of an Elf and a Human who carry with them the power to reawaken this bond. Thus begins Elves, a sprawling saga of mythic proportions!

Impulsive and temperamental, Gaw'er has never fit in with the other Blue Elves. When his true nature comes to light, the young elf is taken from his family to begin a long and painful apprenticeship with the Dark Elves. But one night, he awakens to a strange, ominous noise—one that strikes in him a fear like no other. As the days dwindle and the nights lengthen, corpses begin to appear at dawn in the northern city of Aspen.

Elves, Vol. 3 (3)

Hadrien, Marc

It's Halloween. Lizbeth leaves her husband and two children to accompany her brother Leland, the favorite son, to visit the grave of their adoptive parents. But no sooner do they arrive at the cemetery than they are attacked by a group of living dead! After a terrifying chase, Lizbeth and Leland find refuge in a squalid hotel that will prove to be the only defense against a horde of zombies hungry for fresh meat. They are safe, for now. But the real danger is right outside the hotel walls and the invasion is widespread. Several cities are already devastated. 
 The survivors discover that the hotel manager is holed up in his room, ready to shoot the first person (or thing) that comes too close. As night begins to fall, they discover another problem. There is no electricity. Lizbeth has no choice. She decides that someone has to turn on the emergency power system. But she will have to pass through an area infested with zombies. Will Lizbeth survive? Will she be reunited with her husband and children?

The second volume in a chilling adaptation of George Romero's 1968 cult movie. 
 Review of the French edition: "Stunning scenery, effective storytelling, constant suspense." --MyZombieCulture.com 
 Picking up from where Night of the Living Dead Graphic Novel Volume 1: The Sins of the Father ended, we find Lizbeth, her brother Leland, and a handful of strangers holed up in a rundown hotel surrounded by zombies looking for fresh meat. The questionably sane hotel manager, Hubert, is taking pot shots through the window, shooting both zombies and terrified strangers looking for refuge. Several kilometers away, Lizbeth's husband and children are trying to escape the city streets now overrun by zombies. 
 With the setting refreshed for readers, Istin and Bonetti create an interlude in which to flesh out the secondary characters and reveal more of their personalities and histories. We discover that zombies are not the only danger. Hubert grows ever more unpredictable and trigger-happy. Lizbeth and Leland, trying to restore power to the hotel, discover that they are not the only ones walking the darkened halls. It is Mandy, however, paranoid and hallucinatory, who will become the biggest problem for the survivors. 
 Night of the Living Dead Graphic Novel Volume 2: Mandy's Demons is as visually beautiful as the first volume. Bonetti demonstrates his talent with highly readable panels that convey the psychology of the characters. His numerous board-filling panoramas deliver the horrific scenes of terror and chaos. Istin's paced dialogue is tight and authentic with neither a word missing nor unnecessary. Together they focus attention on the principal theme of every panel to carry readers logically and effortlessly through the daunting story to the cliffhanger ending.
