“STEP BY BLOODY STEP may be my new favorite comic. SPURRIER, BERGARA, and LOPES have created something that celebrates everything comics can be: mysterious, inventive, bursting with imagination, and also incredibly heartfelt without ever saying a word.” —JEFF LEMIRE (Sweet Tooth, THE BONE ORCHARD MYTHOS)THERE IS A GIRL. She has no memory and no name. Nothing but a GUARDIAN. An armored giant who protects her from predators and pitfalls. TOGETHER THEY WALK across an extraordinary fantasy world. If they leave the path the air itself comes alive, forcing them onwards. Why? The girl doesn’t know, but there’s worse than beasts and bandits ahead. CIVILIZATION, with its temptations and treacheries, will test their bond beyond its limits. STEP BY BLOODY STEP is a fantasy opus from the Eisner Award nominees behind CODA (sélection officielle Angoulême 2021): MATIAS BERGARA (Hellblazer, THE SCUMBAG) & SI SPURRIER (X-Men Legacy, Hellblazer, The Spire). Breaking new ground for the possibilities of sequential art, this completely wordless visual feast will delight fans of Princess Mononoke, ISOLA, and the visionary works of Moebius. Collects STEP BY BLOODY STEP #1-4Select praise for STEP BY BLOODY STEP:“Rewards rereads. The visual storytelling is intuitive, but still kind of unique, and EW can confirm that subsequent reads can shed light on key details or transitions that may have gone unnoticed the first time.” —Entertainment Weekly“Full of grandiose environmental spectacle and giant-vs.-monster action, but there’s just as much magic in the smaller moments, which show off a different side of BERGARA’s ingenuity.” —Polygon“A gorgeously drawn introduction to a bizarre, fascinating, and wordless world.” —Comic Book Resources

How much loss can one soul endure?  Blue Eyes can’t stop being reborn. He tumbles from life to life, from one unthinkably strange universe to the next—the only constant that, one way or another, everything that he learns to love is lost. But when Blue Eyes finally catches up to a mysterious figure he’s seen recurring throughout his lives, he realizes he might just have a chance to escape his cursed immortality—or, at very least, exact revenge for it. Inspired by, and a companion to, Emmy and BAFTA Award-winning composer BEAR McCREARY’s first-ever original concept album of the same name, THE SINGULARITY sees a cavalcade of comics’ greatest artists join with writer MAT GROOM (INFERNO GIRL RED) to tell a sweeping, cosmic story about the lessons that loss can teach us.

Von verstummten Barden und mutierten Einhörnern Inmitten der Folgen einer Apokalypse, die fast alle Magie aus einer einst so wundersamen Fantasiewelt ausgelöscht hat, sucht ein einstiger und nun verstummter Barde namens Hum nach einem Weg, die Seele seiner Frau zu retten – mit nichts und niemandem an seiner Seite außer einem übellaunigen, mutierten Einhorn und seinem eigenen Verstand, der seinen Weg leitet. Dabei wird er jedoch ungewollt in einen brutalen Machtkampf hineingezogen, der ein für alle Mal entscheiden soll, wer das düstere Ödland bis ans Ende der Zeit regiert ... Geschrieben von dem für den Eisner Award nominierten Autor Simon Spurrier (The Spire, GODSHAPER) und aufwendig illustriert von dem Künstler Matías Bergara (SUPERGIRL, CANNIBAL), ist Coda ein gnadenloses Kaleidoskop visueller Wunder der postapokalyptischen High-Fantasy, das Leserinnen und Leser durch die Linse eines griesgrämigen Einzelgängers auf der Suche nach seiner verlorenen Liebe betrachten.

Fantasy Deluxe: Herr der Ringe meets Mad Max Magie sprudelte einst reichlich durch die Lande und ließ das ganze Reich erblühen - doch seit der Quench die Welt in die Knie gezwungen hat, ist Magie zu einer der seltensten Ressourcen geworden. Banditen gieren nach ihr. Ritter sterben für sie. Und ein ehemaliger Barde namens Hum würde sein mutiertes Einhorn bis ans Ende der Welt reiten, um nur einen einzigen Tropfen davon in die Hände zu bekommen ... denn Magie ist das Einzige, was die Seele seiner Frau retten kann. Geschrieben von dem für den Eisner Award nominierten Autor Simon Spurrier (SANDMAN, THE SPIRE) und aufwendig illustriert von dem Künstler Matías Bergara (SUPERGIRL, CANNIBAL) setzt Band 2 die hochgelobte dystopische Fantasy-Serie CODA fort.

Von Abgründen und einem Neuanfang Hum ist an seinem absoluten Tiefpunkt angelangt. Seine ihm entfremdete Ehefrau hat ihn nun endgültig verlassen. Er sitzt mitten in der rauen Wüsteneinöde fest, und sogar sein mutiertes Einhorn hat sich von ihm abgewendet. Aber so wie die Welt nach dem katastrophalen Quench einen neuen Morgen sah ... geht das Leben eben weiter. Jetzt muss der ehemalige Barde selbst herausfinden, was es denn nun eigentlich bedeutet, in den Trümmern der eigenen Fantasie zu leben – überhaupt wirklich zu leben. Geschrieben von dem für den Eisner Award nominierten Autor Simon Spurrier (Sandman Universe, The Spire) und wunderschön illustriert von dem Künstler Matías Bergara (Cannibal, Supergirl), ist der dritte CODA-Band nun der Abschluss der hochgelobten Serie, die das Beste aus dem dystopischen Fantasy-Genre in einer fesselnden, emotionalen Geschichte vereint.
