Set within a time of myth and fairy tale, Briar follows the story of Princess Layka, who seeks an end to the curse that keeps her shut off from the world.Trapped for years behind the enchanted barrier of the briar, she awaits her one true knight, who has been tasked with the quest to break the curse and set her free.By Benjamin Read & Chris Wildgoose, creators of the acclaimed Porcelain: A Gothic Fairy Tale, Briar is inspired by European myth and folklore. It subverts the fairy tale tradition of the princess imprisoned behind a hedge of thorns, turning it into something dark, bittersweet, and original.

Set within a world that’s a magical echo of our own, Porcelain is the story of Child, an urchin, who leaves behind the cold streets of a snowy city when she climbs the high wall into the Porcelain Maker’s garden.The Porcelain Maker discovers Child trespassing but, amused by her audacity, he offers her the chance to stay. He’s a lonely man, kept company only by his alchemically-powered automata, and he and Child form an unlikely friendship.Shut off from the world beyond the wall, Child wants or needs for nothing as the Porcelain Maker heaps affection and luxury upon her, indulging her like a daughter. In return, she can do as she pleases, except for one command, one rule that must never be broken, she must not look behind the workshop door.

More than a decade has passed since the events of Porcelain: A Gothic Fairy Tale, and Child has become Lady. Inheritor of all of Uncle’s secrets and wealth, she has continued his work, becoming equally as isolated in her quest to refine the Porcelain and put right past mistakes.With the Porcelain more sought after than ever, Lady comes to the attention of a ruthlessly ambitious General who desires inhuman soldiers for the war effort and won’t take no for an answer. Other, more human, problems rear their head when a handsome young Captain discovers a secret part of Lady’s life.Faced with impossible choices, Lady must forge her own path through the complexities of love and war.

Diese Graphic Novel basiert auf dem New-York-Times-Bestseller von Marie Lu und entführt den Leser in die düsteren Katakomben von Arkham Asylum, in dem Gothams gefährlichste Psychopathen gefangen sind. Ausgerechnet hier wird der junge Bruce Wayne zu Sozialstunden verdonnert und gerät in einen Strudel voller Gefahren und dunkler Geheimnisse. Eine skrupellose neue Verbrecherbande, die sich Nightwalker nennt, terrorisiert Gotham. Nach und nach knöpft sie sich die Reichen und Mächtigen Gothams vor, einen nach dem anderen. Auf dem Nachhauseweg von der Party zu seinem 18. Geburtstag trifft der frischgebackene Milliardenerbe Bruce Wayne eine folgenschwere Entscheidung, wodurch er im berüchtigten Gefängnis Arkham Asylum landet. Dort trifft er Madeleine Wallace, eine hochintelligente Mörderin und Mitglied der Nightwalker. Er will Madeleines Geheimnissen auf die Spur kommen und kommt ihr dabei gefährlich nahe. Schafft er es, sie davon zu überzeugen ihm zu helfen, die Stadt zu retten oder liefert er ihr die Informationen, die sie benötigt, um Gotham in die Knie zu zwingen? In dieser von Stuart Moore adaptierten und von Chris Wildgoose gezeichneten Graphic Novel wird eine mitreißende neue Seite von Batman gezeigt, bevor er zum legendären Superhelden mit schwarzem Umhang und Maske wird. Die Coming-of-Age-Geschichten der neuen Reihe Panini Ink begleiten die bekannten DC-Helden in jungen Jahren auf dem Weg zum Erwachsenwerden - und zeigen sie in völlig neuem Licht. Denn auch heranwachsende Superhelden haben schwer mit alltäglichen Herausforderungen wie Verpflichtungen, schwierigen Entscheidungen und Emotionen zu kämpfen. Aber auch mit gesellschaftlichen Problemen sehen sie sich konfrontiert - seien es soziale Ungerechtigkeit, Korruption, Rassismus oder Homophobie.
