New Releases by Fabien Vehlmann

What''s become of a world whose only hope of survival lies in the humanity of a child and a voiceless monkey? And yet, this is the world depicted in "The Beast-God," Fabien Vehlmann and Roger''s new majestic graphic novel. When the monkey is captured and groomed, it transforms into the Beast-God, a ferocious fighter and symbol of power. He goes to rescue the Consul Ea, who has been banished from the imperial court and spent several years in exile. But on their return, a tidal wave engulfs not only the Consul''s troops, but also those of the other factions converging on the capital, resulting in a race to occupy the vacant throne. Meanwhile, the Beast-God, freed by the deluge, resolves to punish the Great Huntress, the merciless leader of Ea''s warriors, for cruelly using him. But he is not the only one aiming to disrupt the plans of the rich and powerful. The Slaves, too, are rising up against them, determined to risk their lives to regain their freedom. An unforgettable fantasy of sound and fury, marked by the incessant battles between life and death, animal and man.

Birds wasting away in a national park, refusing to migrate. Identical geometric markings on the wings of completely different insect species. A pillar of dust in the desert. A small-time hood travels to India''s shipbreaking yards in search of a giant nuclear-powered construction robot.

Saturday and Sunday are still lounging about when they are summoned to a grand debate. The island''s populace is being threatened by an invisible monster and no one agrees about how to best deal with the disaster. Rallying around Sunday''s opinion, which consists in the idea that "living outside is pretty cool," the young inhabitants leave their underground lairs and discover freedom. Meaning that they create major chaos and gorge themselves on suspicious-looking mushrooms. In the meantime, Saturday falls head over heels for a woman in a red dress. It''s all very funny and tender -- no debate about that.

Saturday and Sunday are a pair of lizards living the good life, lazing around on a tropical atoll and fishing off the beach.

Only travel can cure his ills, and he sets off with Sunday in tow. What''s a best friend to do but tag along? Together, the indefatigable duo have encounters both fanciful and philosophical in this charming and freewheeling paean to simple joys, curiosity, and friendship, fit for all ages.
