Appena uscito dopo tre anni in carcere, Shadow fa conoscenza con un enigmatico Mister Wednesday che gli offre di lavorare per lui. Rimasto senza risorse né famiglia, Shadow finisce per accettare. Ma ci metterà ancora qualche tempo per capire chi sia davvero il suo boss: Odino, la somma divinità del pantheon nordico, arrivato in America con una nave di vichinghi e che ora tira a campare come può. Come lo slavo Chernobog, ridotto a vivere della pensione maturata negli anni di lavoro al macello di Chicago, come l'africano Anansi, come la celtica Easter e la mediterranea Bilquis che batte i marciapiedi di Hollywood, come tutte le divinità maggiori o minori, dimenticate in un mondo che venera altri dèi, più belli e nuovi. È per muovere battaglia contro di loro che Wednesday ha arruolato Shadow, e per reclutare i compagni di lotta i due si metteranno on the road attraversando in lungo e in largo l'America più profonda. Fino al giorno della battaglia finale, uno scontro di proporzioni epiche per conquistare l'anima stessa dell'America...

Von Gold- und Ränkeschmieden. In seinem bisher persönlichsten Werk präsentiert P. Craig Russel (HELLBOY, Coraline, Sandman) mit DER RING DES NIBELUNGEN eine Comic-Adaption von Richard Wagners Opernzyklus. Russell zeichnet damit auf eindrucksvolle Weise die Entwicklung der Figur des (Super-)Helden, wie wir sie heute kennen, nach. Er erinnert uns daran, warum die Kunstform des Comics ein Tor ist, durch das wir die Geschichten aus anderen Welten und der Mythologie betreten können, kurzum: ein Medium gleichermaßen geeignet für das Epos und die Oper. Seit ewigen Zeiten wachen die Rheintöchter über das magische Rheingold, das seinem Besitzer die Macht über die ganze Welt zu verleihen vermag. Sofern er denn der Liebe entsagt. Alberich, der Nibelungen-Zwerg, von seinem Volk verstoßen und von den Rheintöchtern verschmäht, verflucht die Liebe und schmiedet aus dem Rheingold eben jenen schicksalsträchtigen Ring. Dieser allein kann den Göttervater Wotan davor bewahren, Freia, Göttin der ewigen Jugend und Hüterin der goldenen Äpfel, den Riesen Fasolt und Fafnir zu überlassen. DER RING DES NIBELUNGEN erzählt eine Geschichte voller Wendungen und Magie, in der Riesen gegen Götter intrigieren, deren Spielball die Lieben und Leiden der Menschen und Zwerge sind. Diese Adaption von Wagners Epos ist ein Genuss für Opernenthusiasten wie Comic-Liebhaber.

Stína Moona právě pustili z vězení – jen proto, aby zjistil, že je jeho žena mrtvá. Bez práce a bez budoucnosti přijímá nabídku záhadného pana Středy, jenž si ho najme jako svého ochránce, a pomalu ho vtahuje do smrtícího nadpřirozeného světa. Stín se ocitá uprostřed války mezi novými a starými bohy. Legendární kniha Neila Gaimana inspirovala nejen úspěšný televizní seriál, ale i luxusní komiksovou řadu!
Shadow hat es bisher nicht leicht gehabt im Leben. Kaum hat er seine unverdiente Haftstrafe abgesessen und will gerade zu seiner geliebten Frau Laura zurückkehren, erfährt er, dass sie einen tödlichen Unfall hatte – und das wird nicht der letzte Schicksalsschlag für Shadow gewesen sein. Darum hält ihn nichts davon ab, auf das Jobangebot des jovialen Mr. Wednesday einzugehen und dessen Leibwächter zu werden. Über Mr. Wednesdays Motive wird Shadow im Dunkeln gelassen, und die Personen, die er auf seinen Reisen quer durch die USA besucht, sind ebenso undurchschaubar. Der trink- und rauffreudige Mad Sweeney, das Bestatterduo Mr. Ibis und Mr. Jaquel und der grimmige Tschernobog sind noch die angenehmeren Bekanntschaften – andere Begegnungen wie die mit einem hochnäsigen Typen, der sich selbst den Technischen Jungen nennt, verlaufen deutlich bedrohlicher. Zur gleichen Zeit häufen sich in Shadows Umfeld merkwürdige Ereignisse, und es dauert nicht lang, bis Shadow mittendrin ist in einem uralten Konflikt von wahrhaft göttlichem Ausmaß. »American Gods«, der Urban-Fantasy-Bestseller von Neil Gaiman (»Coraline«, »The Sandman «), feierte vor Kurzem seine Premiere als Serie auf Amazon Prime – und jetzt ist er auch in Comicform erhältlich!

Coraline

In casa di Coraline ci sono tredici porte che permettono di entrare e uscire da stanze e corridoi, e poi ce n'è una, la quattordicesima, che dà su un muro di mattoni. Oltre quel muro dovrebbe esserci un appartamento vuoto, ma... sarà vero? Perché un giorno Coraline scopre che dietro la porta si apre un corridoio scuro, e alla fine del corridoio c'è una casa identica alla sua, e nella cucina della casa vive una donna uguale a sua madre. Quasi uguale, anzi, perché al posto degli occhi ha due lucidi bottoni, attaccati con ago e filo. Amorosa e attenta, l'altra madre le chiede di diventare sua figlia: in cambio avrà tutto ciò che desidera, e anche di più. Ma Coraline, bambina saggia e intrepida, capisce subito di essere finita in una ragnatela fatta di nebbia e tenebra, al cui centro c'è un ragno straordinariamente pericoloso. E sa che, tra incanti e spaventi, gatti parlanti e spettri bambini, topi musicisti e vecchie attrici indomabili, toccherà a lei sconfiggere il buio e liberare i prigionieri dell'altra madre…
