You''ve had your first Taster of Wormwood, and now its time for a full refill! Ben Templesmith (30 Days of Night, Singularity 7, Fell) creates an all-eerie and humorous series. Things are awakening in the city. Things that have a nasty habit of leaving mutilated bodies in their wake and it all reeks of demons and dark gods up to no good. Owing a favor to his lazy ghost cop buddy Trotsky, Wormwood, the gentleman corpse and his oddball entourage are brought in to investigate the case (or at least hopefully not stuff it up too much.)

Things are spiraling out of control. The plans of the dark forces at work come full circle as Wormwood attempts to use stern language (and a few other things) to stop an ancient world-eating god from treating the city as an appetizer before moving on to the rest of the planet...

Ben Templesmith''s Wormwood moves beyond the simply bizarre and into the sublime lunacy that is Lephrechaunia as Wormwood and his posse search for the Leprechaun Queen, the only being capable of lifting the terminal curse that our hero has contracted.

Part 2 of 4: Raymond Delgado isn''t welcome at all. Rather, he''s the newest inmate at the Hoxford Correctional Facility and Mental Institution. He has no hope of release, parole, rehabilitation, or decent conversation. On a good day, he''ll tell you he''s Zeus and only bite your arm off. Literally. On a bad day, you won''t have time to scream to the prison guard for help. And why are people always transferred into Hoxford, but no records show anyone ever transferring back out?

Wormwood just wants a quiet beer down the club, with some time to reflect. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and their televangelist groupies might have different plans, however... as the hookers and blow that''ve kept them occupied since they arrived on Earth is quickly running out, and boredom is setting in.

Wormwood est à l’image de son créateur. Loufoque, irrespectueuse envers les mollusques marins et ne prenant au sérieux aucune menace extra-terrestre... L’histoire surprenante et tordante d’un asticot pensant qui enquête. Wormwood est un asticot échappé d''une dimension infernale qui boit de la bière, fume et accessoirement habite des cadavres. Entouré d''une équipe éclectique de personnages – le très renfermé Monsieur Pende et une immortelle appelée Medusa –, il passe son temps à sauver le monde d''invasions démoniaques et autres parasites ayant pris possession de strip-teaseuses zombies. « La BD déjanté du mois par l’Australien qui s’est déjà occupé des vampires avec le fameux 30 jours de nuit. » Casemate « Jouant avec des matières organiques et des couleurs intenses, le dessin [de Templesmith] n’a jamais été aussi expressif. Il s’impose de plus comme un scénariste talentueux, à l’humour efficace et aux dialogues tordants. » Bodoï « La série d’horreur a plus hallucinante de cette rentrée. Du très, très grand Templesmith ! » L’Avis des Bulles

Wormwood has been gone for some time. Too long, if you ask his old friends. They''re determined to track him down, no matter what dimension he''s buggered off to. You see, a special agent from the U.S. government has asked for Wormwood''s help, and things are about to get political...

Parachuté dans cette inquiétante jungle urbaine où rien ne semble avoir de sens, Fell se raccroche à cette seule certitude : tout le monde ici a quelque chose à cacher. À commencer par lui-même.
