Chris Bachalo Knihy

Čtvrtá kniha z volné řady Legendy Temného rytíře! Gotham se potýká s rekordními letními teplotami, ale ubíjející horko není to jediné, co do města zatnulo své nemilosrdné drápy. Ve stínech se plíží krvežíznivý zabiják v masce černé kočky a domněnky o jeho identitě mohou společnosti zatopit ještě hůř než počasí. S hrozbou rasových nepokojů nad hlavou musí Batman přijmout nečekanou nabídku pomocné ruky a doufat, že se mu společně s Catwoman podaří vraha zastavit dřív, než se v ulicích rozpoutá peklo. V bonusovém příběhu se potom Batman ocitá ve zpustlém hotelu, v jehož ohořelých zdech se skrývá cosi ještě zlověstnějšího než vrah, kterého pronásleduje.

Ze stránek Sandmana přichází Morfeova mladší sestra Smrt ve své druhé sólové knize. Legendární Neil Gaiman vypráví příběh o hudbě, smrtelnosti, přátelství a lásce. Postavy, které znáte ze Sandmana, se vracejí v laskavě děsivém a makabrózně optimistickém příběhu o tak zásadních věcech, jako jsou život, smrt a nezávislá hudební scéna.

Tento komiks je další Gaimanův příběh ze světa Sandmana. Ovšem hrdinou tentokrát není, jak název napovídá, vládce snů, ale jeho ségra, která má na starosti trochu jiný a trvalejší druh spánku. Ta se dostane na jeden den do New Yorku a hned se zaplete do hledání něčeho co ztratila jistá stará dáma... a zároveň se stane cílem zájmu tajemného mystika. Když má smrt volno, tak to stojí za to. Autorem úvodu je Tori Amos.

Je tu začátek nového epického dobrodružství. Přicházejí Emperikulové, kteří si dali za cíl vyhladit veškerou magii ve vesmíru. Jejich novým cílem je Země a jejich hlavním protivníkem Doctor Strange. Nastává souboj, po kterém už nebude marvelovský vesmír stejný jako dřív.

Jak se stal Stephen Strange Nejvyšším čarodějem - a jak o svou moc přišel? V současnosti je Strange na pokraji smrti a jeho magie je téměř vyčerpána.

Ale zatímco se přehlídka záporáků staví do řady, aby si také praštili, jeden ze Strangových nejnovějších nepřátel by se mohl ukázat být tím nejvražednějším. Orb, nyní disponující nezměrnou mocí oka zabitého Watchera, si vzal Doctora Strange na mušku!

Mr. Misery má jediný cíl. Ublížit člověku, který ho stvořil. Doctoru Strangeovi. A začne tím, že zaútočí na jednoho z kouzelníkových nejbližších spojenců. Připoutejte se a připravte se na návrat děsivého Dormammua a na pomstu Empirikul! Epické finále éry Jasona Aarona!

V dalším příběhu oplatí Wolverine Spideymu návštěvu ve chvíli, kdy na město zcela nečekaně uhodí ohromná vánice. Oba hrdinové se následně budou muset utkat s podivnými mayskými válečníky.

To vše znamená, že na Petra Parkera Čeká plno problémů, na něž můžou být i všechny pavučiny světa krátké!Obsahuje příběh:Totální šílenství!

V této sérii se čtenáři setkávají s doktorem Stephenem Strangem, bývalým neurochirurgem, který se stal nejvyšším čarodějem a ochráncem Země před mystickými hrozbami. Příběh sleduje jeho boj s temnými silami a jeho úsilí udržet rovnováhu mezi magickým a reálným světem. Jason Aaron a Chris Bachalo představují Strangovu cestu, která zahrnuje setkání s různými postavami, jako jsou Wong, jeho věrný pomocník, a Clea, jeho komplikovaná láska, která hraje klíčovou roli v jeho životě. Hlavními tématy jsou zodpovědnost, obětování a hledání identity v kontextu magie a nadpřirozena. Příběh se také zaměřuje na Strangovy vnitřní boje a jeho snahu vyrovnat se s minulostí, zatímco čelí novým výzvám. Série se vyznačuje kombinací akce, mystiky a psychologického rozvoje postav, což vytváří komplexní pohled na život a povinnosti superhrdiny. Čtenáři mohou očekávat bohatě ilustrované scény a dynamický narativ, který prozkoumává hranice mezi realitou a fantazií.

Nové vydání druhého dílu kultovní a mnoha cenami ověnčené série! Pokračování kultovního komiksu Neila Gaimana. Gaiman opět vypráví pochumrné, ujeté a někdy deprimující příběho a náladových, smůlou potrefených bozích i chybujících lidech a dokonce se mu povedl i husarský kousek: Smrt je v jeho podání něco, po čem by člověk mohl umřít touhou.
