Stopa nového spiknutí démonů, kteří útočí na nejzranitelnější místa dospívajících, zavede Angela až do městečka Sunnydale, kde si uvědomí, že rozhřešení, po němž touží, bude mít vysokou cenu... a že nikdo nemůže žít navždy, alespoň ne tehdy, dokud tomu on dokáže zabránit. Zbrusu nové zpracování jednoho z nejlepších a nejpochmurnějších popkulturních upírských příběhů představují scenárista Bryan Edward Hill (Detective Comics, Hulus Titans) spolu s výtvarníkem Glebem Melnikovem (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers). Ideální jak pro zaryté fanoušky, tak i pro nové čtenáře!

The newly re-formed X-Men team, under the leadership Cyclops and Emma Frost, is ready to astonish the world, but breaking news about a cure for the mutant gene takes the wind out of their sails. Plus, they go to battle with the enigmatic Ord and receive some unexpected help.

… eine gigantische, riesenhafte Dawn, die ganz im Stil von Godzilla Tokio zerstört?! Das sieht man wirklich nicht alle Tage – ist aber nur der Gipfel der Ereignisse, die Buffy-Fans in diesem Band erwarten; dem 3. Teil der 8. Buffy-Staffel von Joss Whedon, die die TV-Kult-Serie nahtlos fortführt und in der sich der Meister und seine kongenialen Mit-Autoren selbst übertreffen! Noch immer stehen Buffy und Co eher ratlos der Bedrohung durch die mysteriöse, paramilitärische und zunehmend dämonische Organisation Dämmerung gegenüber. Doch statt der Lösung dieses Problems näher zu kommen, kommt ein neues hinzu: Ein paar asiatische Vampire, die unerwartet dracula’eske Fähigkeiten an den Tag legen, dringen in den schottischen Sitz der Jägerinnen ein, verwickeln die Helden in ein dramatisches Japan-Abenteuer und bescheren Buffy darüber hinaus einen der peinlichsten Momente in ihrem Leben, als ihre Freunde sie im Bett erwischen, mit … naja, lest es doch einfach selbst.

V KAŽDÉ GENERACI SE ZRODÍ PŘEMOŽITELKA... A TADY JE TA VAŠE! Je to Buffy Summersová, přesně tak, jak ji znáte. Chce to, co každá puberťačka: najít si na nové škole kamarády, mít dobré známky a uniknout osudu přemožitelky upírů, jejímž údělem je donekonečna bojovat se silami zla... Jen s tím rozdílem, že tentokrát vypadá Buffyin svět mnohem více jako ten, který uvidíte při pohledu z okna. Slavnou Buffy přenesli do nové éry tvůrci v čele s držitelkou Ceny Willa Eisnera Jordie Bellaireovou a Danem Morou, kteří spojili síly s tvůrcem původního televizního seriálu Jossem Whedonem, aby ji postavili před nové výzvy, představili jí nové přátele a pár nepřátel, na které si někteří z čtenářů dost možná ještě budou pamatovat. Ale bez ohledu na to, kolik věcí se změnilo, jde v jádru pořád o totéž: Buffy a její parta čelí zlu a hrozbám, jež vystrkují své růžky pod povrchem na první pohled dokonale uhlazené sunnydaleské střední, čímž se pouze potvrzuje to, co vždycky věděl každý, kdo někdy dospíval. Střední je zkrátka peklo! Vítejte opět v bráně pekelné! Vše začíná znovu!

Doch sowohl der Red Skull als auch Baron Zemo planen die rassistische Vereinigung unabhängig voneinander zu alter Stärke zurückzuführen. Ein hinterhältig geführter Zweifrontenkrieg droht die USA zu erschüttern. Und nur ein Mann kann der Unterwanderung von Recht, Freiheit und amerikanischen Werten Einhalt gebieten… Steve Rogers, der erste Captain America! Aber will er das überhaupt? Er ist wieder da! Der originale Wächter der Freiheit meldet sich zurück mit einem neuen Schild, einem neuen Kostüm und einer neuen Mission. Ein herausragendes Sterne-Menü von Ex-Politiker David Spencer und Shooting-Star Jesús Saiz.

Harmony! Einst High-Society-Göre an Buffys-Schule, dann Sekretärin bei Angel, taucht nun plötzlich als TV Star in ihrer eigenen Vampir-Reality-Show auf und lehrt in „Harmony live!“ einem Millionenpublikum eine einfache Lektion: „Vampire sind toll – Jägerinnen böse!“. Eine Erfahrung, die Faith schon früher gemacht hat – neu für sie und Giles ist allerdings, dass Menschen sich mit Dämonen verbünden, gegen Vampire und Jägerinnen! Der Grund dafür könnte natürlich auch sein, dass es eine Jägerin gibt, die ihre Kräfte missbraucht und als Anführerin einer räuberischen Jägerinnen-Bande Angst und Schrecken verbreitet. Als Buffy sich aufmacht, die abtrünnige Simone in die Schranken zu weisen, merkt sie sehr schnell, dass eine Jägerin, die eine Jägerin jagt, auch zur Gejagten werden kann.

Tým snů složený z Josse Whedona (Firefly, Buffy, přemožitelka upírů, režisér Avengers) a Johna Cassadaye (Planetary, Captain America) pokračuje ve své ohromující jízdě! Když Xavierovou školou otřese tragická smrt, zjistí X-Meni, že se v jejich středu celé roky skrývá smrtící nepřítel a že zná všechna jejich tajemství! A ne, tentokrát to není Magneto. Aby tohohle překvapujícího soupeře zvládli, musejí se znovu spojit. Což bohužel právě teď nebude zrovna jednoduché. Obsahuje sešity Astonishing X-Men č. 7–12.

Season 8 ended with a bang that cut the world off from magic culminating in another set of world-ending problems. Buffy has left her best friend, Willow, powerless, and brought an end to a millennia-long tradition of superpowered girls. By day, Buffy is a twenty-something waitress with no real direction, and even though magic is gone, she ís still a vampire Slayer by night. Bigger problem? Vampires are becoming an epidemic . . . of zompires! Collects Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 9 #1 - #5. * Written by series creator Joss Whedon and Andrew Chambliss of ABC's One Upon a Time! Buffy Season 9 begins!

In einem Universum, in dem die Herzen und Gemüter so düster wie das Weltall selbst sind, versucht die Crew des kleinen Firefly-Klasse-Raumschiffs Serenity Jobs an Land zu ziehen, die es ihr ermöglichen, den größten Luxus ihrer Zeit zu garantieren – Frieden. Doch das Schicksal hat andere Pläne für die bunt zusammengewürfelte Mannschaft aus Söldnern, Gesetzlosen und Flüchtlingen. Weit entfernt von der Erde, zwischen Welten, die von Pionieren besiedelt sind und von der sogenannten „Allianz“ überwacht werden, sieht sich die Mannschaft von Captain Malcolm „Mal“ Reynolds immer wieder mit brandgefährlichen Situationen konfrontiert. Selbst der vermeintlich große Wurf kann schnell in die Katastrophe führen, an deren Ende nur noch Stille herrscht.

„Die Buffy-Chroniken sind die ultimative Sammlung der ersten Buffy-Comics, die Entstehungsgeschichte nach dem Original-Filmdrehbuch, beginnend bei den Ursprüngen: der Weg der neu ernannten Jägerin Buffy ist eine werkgetreue Adaption von Joss Whedons Original-Drehbuch zum Film Buffy – der Vampirkiller und führt über einen Brand in ihrer Highschool und einige „zerstäubte“ Vampire schließlich nach Las Vegas, während ein englischer Bibliothekar schließlich den Übergang zur ersten TV-Staffel einleitet. Die Buffy-Chroniken orientieren sich an der zeitlichen Abfolge der TV-Serie, erweitern oder erklären die dortigen Geschehnisse. Genau die richtige Lektüre, parallel zu Whedons Comic- Relaunch des Buffy-Mythos mit der achten Staffel!“

Sunnydale ohrožují zplozenci pekel a Buffy se svými přáteli bude muset v boji proti nim vynaložit veškeré své síly. Ve měste se však objevuje Angel, upír s lidskou duší, který doufá, že přidáním se na stranu dobra tentokrát dokáže definitivně umlčet své svědomí... V cestě mu nesmí stát člověk, upír ani přemožitelka!

Cyclops i Emma Frost reformują akademię mutantów. Stawiają sobie wyraźny cel - chcą by ich działalność "zadziwiła" świat. Ale gdy w mediach niespodziewanie pojawia się wstrząsająca wiadomość dotycząca genu mutacji, realizacja ich nowych planów zostaje powstrzymana. Gdy popyt na "lek na mutacje" rośnie do poziomu przypominającego zamieszki, X-Men stają oko w oko z zagadkowym Ordem. Niespodziewany sprzymierzeniec i równie niespodziewani przeciwnicy. Kto przeważy szale zwycięstwa? Album zawiera materiały opublikowane pierwotnie w "Astonishing X-Men" vol.3 #1-6.

Nachdem Buffy und die Gang die Welt vor dem Ur-Schöpfer der Vampire und der kompletten Zerstörung durch einen drohenden Riss im Zeitkontinuum gerettet haben, und es Willow sogar gelungen ist, die Saat der Magie wieder auf der Erde zu pflanzen. Scheint alles wieder beim Alten … ja, es scheint! Doch die neue Magie bringt einige Änderungen mit sich: So manche Regeln, die bisher für Vampire galten sind plötzlich außerkraftgesetzt und selbst mächtige Hexen und Dämonen müssen Zauberei erst wieder lernen. Um das zu begreifen, suchen die Jägerin und ihre Freunde einen alten „Bekannten“ auf, für den die Regeln schon früher nicht galten – ob Dracula aber der richtige Verbündete ist, daran hat nicht nur Xander begründete Zweifel!

After the battle with Twilight's army, Buffy gains new powers but faces uncertainty about their implications. Meanwhile, Willow searches for missing allies and uncovers a disturbing truth about the Slayer army's recent experiences.
