Maars Königin Olwyn und Captain Rook sind ihrem Ziel ferner denn je. Ohne Proviant. Ohne Hoffnung. Es scheint unmöglich, den bösen Fluch, der Olwyn in der Form eines magischen blauen Tigers gefangen hält, zu brechen. Die Gefährten sehen sich neuen, ungemein gefährlichen Bedrohungen gegenüber – auf ihrem Weg nach Isola, dem Land der Toten, lüften sie uralte Geheimnisse. Dort, wo der Tod gebietet, scheint die einzige Chance zu bestehen, Maars Königin von ihrem Fluch zu befreien und den Ausbruch eines Krieges zu verhindern. Eisner-nominiert und ein Fest für die Augen: Karl Kerschl und Brenden Fletcher begeistern erneut mit der einzigartigen Kunst ISOLAs, die nicht nur Studio Ghibli-Fans in ihren Bann zieht.

Una ragazza e una tigre, improbabili viandanti per lande desolate dopo una lunga guerra, in un paesaggio allo stesso tempo devastato e bucolico. Ma la ragazza è il capitano della guardia della regina di Maar, e la tigre… è molto più di quello che sembra. Tra intrighi di palazzo, guerre millenarie e misticismo dai risvolti terrificanti, Isola è una serie creata da Brenden Fletcher e Karl Kerschl, nominata a più premi Eisner, che si lascia scoprire lentamente, che non ha fretta di scoprire tutte le proprie carte. Un modo di narrare sontuoso, consapevole e maturo, per una storia che si dipana con l’inesorabile, letale maestosità di un’onda che si erge per infrangersi sulla battigia.

The struggle between humans and alien invaders attacking the Earth had drawn to a close, but the threat to mankind was far from over. With the fate of the universe on the line, a spacecraft was sent back in time, gifting the people of Earth’s past an advanced alien ‘Robotechnology’ that could alter their fortune, if not the timestream. Also contained within the vessel from the future was Dana Sterling, warrior, hero and the first child born to the union of human and alien. Dana’s arrival created a splinter timeline where she was never born, where everything feels like her past… but nothing is quite right. She doesn’t belong but has no way to return to her reality – if it even exists anymore. But now an opportunity has arisen in the shape of two mysterious spaceships able to travel the multiple realities of the “Protoverse”. Could this be Dana’s path home? The pilot of one of the vessels appeared to recognize Dana and later got into a brawl with Miriya. The other pilot, who had seemingly targeted Dana for elimination, crashlanded in the wasteland outside New Macross City… His Battloid and unconscious body were discovered by Jack Baker and Karen Penn – and he seems to be Rick Hunter! After fighting off a giant zombie monsters, Jack and Karen returned to safety with ‘Rick’ – but he then attacked Dana…

The struggle between humans and alien invaders attacking the Earth had drawn to a close, but the threat to mankind was far from over. With the fate of the universe on the line, a Robotech spacecraft was sent back in time, gifting the people of Earth’s past an advanced alien technology that could alter their fortune, if not the timestream. Hidden in that vessel, in a decade-long hypersleep, was a passenger from the future: warrior, hero and first child born to the union of human and alien, Dana Sterling. She awakened too late to prevent the first Robotech war from erupting, but just in time to become a wedge between the two people who would, in her universe, become her parents. Dana’s arrival created a splinter timeline where she was never born, where everything feels like her past but nothing is quite right. She clearly doesn’t belong but has no way to return to her reality – if it even exists anymore. But now an opportunity has arisen in the shape of two mysterious spaceships able to travel the multiple realists of the “Protoverse”. Could this be Dana’s path home? The pilot of one vessel appeared to recognise her while the other, now crashlanded and laying injured and unconscious in the wasteland outside New Macross City, has targeted Dana for elimination…
