Is this a joke?

If not, that's horrible! I only read Suske & Wiske as a child when it was published in a magazine called YPS (Pif Gadget in France, I think), but that makeover puts every Marvel or DC reboot into perspective.

Ugh, that looks horrible.

Btw, bought several French BD over the weekend, which hopefully should be picked up by English publishers soon. Read "Moi, assassin", "Undertaker pt. 1" and part of "Le Mort de Staline" so far, and they are nothing short of excellent.

- "Undertaker" is advertised as a successor to Blueberry. And while Meyer's art is sometimes a bit static compared to Giraud, in general I have to agree. It has the same kind of tone, gritty realism and at the same time humour that Blueberry had.

- "Moi, assassin" has shortlistec for a prize at Angouleme (dunno which one), and rightly so. It's about a serial killer who is also a professor on Renaissance art and - connected to this - sees his murders as a work of art. And while he is very meticulous in planning his murders, his other, normal life escapes his control more and more until the two collide. Very, very dark.

- "Le Mort de Staline" fictionalises the events in the Kremlin surrounding Stalin's death - though a lot of what is depicted is based on fact. It is full of bizarre intrigues and black humour. All in all an excellent book.




Concerning the other books, "Buffalo Runner" is a beautiful western by Tiburce Oger (found an oversized version that has about the same dimensions as the Humanoids oversized versions of The Incal or Barbarella) and "Un Ocean D'Amour" is a wordless GN by Wilfrid Lupano (who also wrote "The Hartlepool Monkey"), that has also won some award already, afaik.

"Asterix by Todd McFarlane" or "Lucky Luke by Alex Ross" would be equally shocking

"Asterix by Todd McFarlane" or "Lucky Luke by Alex Ross" would be equally shocking

well, the later probably would be something like this:


But I just can't dare to imagine how a McFarlane Asterix would look like

[Spirou]

Haha, this would be worth a hole new thread actually: Imagine if x would be drawn by y :-)

Nope. No joke. It was a huge huge huge hit for the publisher in the Dutch speaking countries! The reviews were also pretty good. I think a fourth volume is still due to appear.

Has there been any news or rumour of any upcoming Asterix special editions in the US?

Not that I know of. I think another Omnibus is next, but that's about it. I have looked into the "Grand Collection" being published in English since I am missing a few German volumes of those that have gone OOP, but there's nothing whatsoever.

[vark]

What!!? They're back?

And the Oversized Deluxe edition is already planned as well http://www.amazon.fr/Ast%C3%A9rix-Al...447109&sr=1-16

Thank you. It is a shame to hear that. I have a few of the old paperbacks (which are 8000 miles away). It doesn't look like they will be reprinting the HC omnibuses. So I plan to get the individual hardcovers.

Amoras,

Spinoff / alternate reality / time travel
I have them in my collection
There are already 4 parts in dutch, 4 issues to go.

It's definitely different:
Partial nudity
Death, death and more death

Interesting take and I am entertained.
But it is a veeery slooooow story and imo major character assasination concerning Lambiek/Ambrose in the last issue

I have to say this looks bloody amazing. Coming in May from Magnetic Press: A Glance Backward (http://www.bleedingcool.com/2015/02/...edium=facebook)

Eleven-year-old Pepe’s world turns inside out when he finds himself pulled inside the walls of his own home, seemingly trapped in a strange and surreal place. As he searches for a way out, he discovers a myriad of strange, intriguing, and frightening characters, who ultimately lead him to complete the greatest journey of them all: growing up. A powerful coming of age tale everyone can identify with.
