This head-spinning, time-bending graphic novel is a nuclear fusion of fantasy and science fiction whose every page glows with an eerie light. Pursued by a terrifying demon, a young knight flees across the radioactive ruins of a fairy-tale land. His only weapon is the same cursed power that once destroyed this world-what some would call magic, and others would call technology. As his relentless enemy draws closer, the knight's terrible secrets begin to unfold. How many lives has he lived? Is this the past, the present, or the future? Is he destined to bring love, or unimaginable destruction? And if he fails?will humanity get another chance? The English-language debut of Austrian-German graphic novelist Lukas Kummer arrives like a thunderbolt, arcing brilliantly between timelines, genres, and dimensions.
It was supposed to be a simple mission: capture a high-ranking NAZI SS officer and bring him back to HQ. But nothing goes right for an intrepid group of U.S. soldiers who intercept the Nazi officer and his men. Forced to hole up in a desolate French village with their prisoners after an accident, they find the village has been overrun by vicious monsters! The mortal enemies must put aside their differences to work together and stay alive. But how long will this tenuous truce last?
The adaptation of the hit science fiction/comedy film of the summer Iron Sky follows the fate of Nazis who fled to the moon in 1945, and return in 2018 to conquer the Earth with their armada of flying saucers. With tongue firmly in cheek, the story parodies both the Nazis and more recent political parties and figures, with no holds barred. With special effects and a climactic ending only the Third Reich could deliver, Iron Sky is an action packed ride from start to finish.
