Science meets the supernatural in award winning cartoonist Richard Marazano's graphic novel, when the eccentricities of infamous engineer and inventor, Nikola Tesla, are warped into a terrifying mystery during World War Two.Amidst the chaos of World War Two, New York is a city of mistrust and melancholy. Rumors abound of German submarines landing on the east coast, mysterious appearances - and disappearances - on the banks of the East River, Thomas Edison's laboratories under supervision of the FBI, experiments of terrible secret weapons by the Japanese forces in the Pacific... Yet Nikola Tesla, probably the only scientist whose originality and brilliant inventions are likely to provide a solution to the destructive war, is nowhere to be found!One summer in 1942, young Travis moves with his mother to a furnished hotel in Manhattan. Little does he know that his enigmatic neighbor will take him on an adventure with terrible and shocking scientific ramifications...

In a not-so-distant future, mankind's greed and short-sightedness have exhausted the planet. The vast majority of the population lives in misery among the ruins of civilisation, while a small, privileged minority continues to enjoy a luxurious existence inside a few fortress-cities scattered around the globe, the Enclaves. Vivian is a member of the elite forces that protect this utopia - but also regularly hunt down and capture people from outside the walls to use as cheap, forced labour...

As far his men are concerned, Vivian is fully recovered from his accident and long coma. An opinion that is not fully shared by Rachel, the team's new psychologist... and Vivian's ex-girlfriend! Personal entanglements aside, the team leader does still have those disturbing apocalyptic dreams - and then there's that 'Blue Parrot' sign that seems to haunt him. A new mission to the Middle East might bring some answers at last... but will they be welcome? Ages 12+

The mission to break the siege of Tel Aviv ended in disaster - two dead, and the rest of the team captured. But as the prisoners await their fate, they're suddenly confronted to the terrible reality of their world - most notably the fact that they don't seem to be fighting for the side of angels. Will they be able to adapt to this new truth and make the right choices - assuming there are still right choices?
