Nur ein Killer kann einen Killer zur Strecke bringen! Um zu beweisen, dass er nicht wie sein Vater ein psychopathischer Killer ist, arbeitete der siebzehnjährige Jazz Dent bereits mit der Polizei seiner kleinen Heimatstadt Lobo’s Nod zusammen. Und jetzt bittet ein zu allem entschlossener Detective aus New York City den jungen Mann um Hilfe. Ein Serienmörder erfüllt die Bürger und die Polizei der Ostküstenmetropole mit Entsetzen, und nur Jazz scheint fähig, den grausamen Killer zu stellen. Doch in den Häuserschluchten des Big Apple wird er bald selbst vom Jäger zum Gejagten ...

Et si le plus dangereux serial killer au monde était... votre propre père ? À Lobo’s Nod, petite ville tranquille des États-Unis, nul ne veut croire que le corps de jeune fille retrouvé dans un champ est l’œuvre d’un serial killer. Jazz, lui, en est convaincu. Et il sait de quoi il parle puisqu’il n’est autre que le fils d’un criminel célèbre dans tout le pays pour avoir assassiné des dizaines de femmes. Son père est en prison mais Jazz, lui, est libre et n’a qu’une crainte : que l’opinion le désigne comme le coupable idéal. Il décide alors de faire équipe avec le shérif et de mettre à profit les enseignements de son père dans l’espoir de démasquer le véritable coupable... Mais est-ce si facile quand on a reçu le goût du sang en héritage ? Teinté d’un humour noir et grinçant, I Hunt Killers est un thriller palpitant et totalement addictif !

Touché par une balle en pleine jambe, Jazz se vide de son sang dans un garde-meuble de New York. Connie, sa petite amie, est entre les griffes de Billy Dent, son tueur en série de père. Quant à Howie, son équipier et meilleur ami, il gît inerte sur le sol de sa petite maison de Lobo’s Nod. Pourtant, tous trois doivent se relever, s’enfuir, lutter et mettre un terme à la folie de Billy Dent. Pour Jazz, l’enjeu est d’autant plus grand qu’il vient d’apprendre que sa mère, disparue des années plus tôt, est encore en vie. Et prisonnière de Billy. Jazz a le courage et la force de la jeunesse, mais Billy a toujours un coup d’avance dans ce jeu macabre qu’il a lui-même inventé. Il est temps de tuer le père. Traduit de l''anglais (Etats-Unis) par Mélanie Fazi

William Cornelius “Billy” Dent è il serial killer più famoso d’America. Ha ammazzato più di cento persone, meritandosi il soprannome di Macellaio. Jazz ha diciassette anni ed è suo figlio. Fin da bambino suo padre gli ha insegnato i trucchi del mestiere: come scegliere una preda, come riconoscere un poliziotto, come disarmarlo, come eliminarlo. Ma Billy è stato arrestato prima di costringerlo a mettere in pratica i suoi insegnamenti. Sono passati quattro anni da allora. Il Macellaio è rinchiuso in un carcere di massima sicurezza e Jazz cerca di condurre una vita normale, tenendo a bada la voce del padre che continua a risuonare dentro la sua testa, chiedendogli di fare quello per cui è stato messo al mondo: uccidere. Ed è la più grande paura di Jazz, questa. Essere davvero come suo padre, non poter più trattenere la sua parte oscura. Se non fosse per la sua ragazza Connie, per il suo amico Howie e per lo sceriffo G. William – lo stesso che ha scovato Billy – forse Jazz sarebbe già crollato. Soprattutto quando il serial killer che si fa chiamare l’Impressionista comincia a lasciare cadaveri a poca distanza da casa sua e la gente del paese teme che il responsabile sia Jazz. Per togliere i sospetti da sé a Jazz rimane solo una cosa da fare: utilizzare gli insegnamenti del padre per dare la caccia non a una vittima inerme, ma al vero assassino.

Das fulminante Finale der Thriller-Trilogie Jazz Dent wurde angeschossen und totgeglaubt in New York City zurückgelassen. Seine Freundin Connie befindet sich in der Gewalt von Jazz’ Vater, dem brutalen Serienkiller Billy. Sein bester Freund Howie ist schwer verletzt und droht zu verbluten. Trotz alldem müssen die drei irgendwie wieder zusammenfinden, um Billy endlich zur Strecke zu bringen. Und dann tut Jazz genau das, wovor er sich immer am meisten gefürchtet hat. Und alle Welt fragt sich: »Ist der Sohn aus dem gleichen Holz geschnitzt wie sein Vater?«

After saving a girl from being murdered, Kevin is hailed as a hero. However, after Kevin is seen removing patriotic ribbons from his car bumper, the town calls him unpatriotic. Now Kevin is questioning what supporting the troops--or even saying the pledge of allegiance--actually means.

What if you could change everything about one thing on the spot? What if what you thought was your life was really just someone''s creation? This is not your typical love story. In spite of his doubts, seventeen-year-old Mike believed that he was meant to be with Philomel, forever and always. After Mike loses Phil, he starts to have doubts about reality itself. When he discovers he can edit reality—at least as it relates to Phil—he is plunged head-first into an existential crisis unlike any other. Soon he is on a quest across multiple realities to understand his love for Phil, the true nature of their stories, and perhaps even the motives of their storyteller.* *This novel is in fact an edited version of storyteller Barry Lyga’s original and truest vision for this project, the aptly titled Unedited. Its hundreds of pages comprise more than "all the world;” they represent Barry’s every draft, revision, and rabbit hole: a vast compendium that serves as an invaluable companion read and ingenious deep-dive into the writing process.

The companion piece to Mike and Phile and All the World in all its +1,000 page glory. This is a book. It is written by Barry Lyga. Yes, we know it''s a very long book. We tried to get him to cut it, but he wouldn''t. So there was nothing we could do about it. We understand if the length turns you off. A long book like this one represents a commitment, and if it isn''t good, you''ll feel like you''ve wasted your time and your money. Still, we published it because we think it''s a good book. Could it be shorter? Maybe. That''s a very difficult call. Each person will have his or her own opinion. Some will read it and think, "It could have been shorter." Others will think, "It was just right." And maybe some people will wish it was longer. Isn''t that the highest compliment you can pay a book, to wish it would never end? Usually, this text here (it''s called "flap copy") is sexy marketing-talk, designed to get you to buy the book. Did you know that most people look at the cover, then the back cover, then the flap copy, and only then do they bother even to flip to a page in the book? So you probably haven''t even read any part of the book yet, but you might decide to buy or not buy it anyway. Without having read a word of it. So, we''ll just say this: This book is a love story. We hope you''ll give it a shot.

"This essay collection, from fans and scholars alike, is as diverse as Legion history. Essays examine significant runs (by Jim Shooter, Paul Levitz, and Keith Giffen); the Legion''s science, architecture, and fashion; the role of women, homosexuality, and race; the early Legion''s classical adaptations, teenage cruelty, and relation to the early Justice League; Lightning Lad''s death and resurrection; whether the Legion should be allowed to age; the Amethyst saga; the themes of the reboot Legion; and the so-called Threeboot''s relationship to adult adolescence and generational theory"--page 4 of cover.
