Titres dans Humoristique

Dans la grande cité de Glargh, les Veilleurs veillent — ou du moins, ils essaient. Et puis il y a les Furets, l'unité de bleusaille la moins crédible du guet : un charcutier reconverti en soldat, un ingénieur porté sur la bouteille, une amazone prompte à distribuer des baffes, un médecin trop bavard, un Nain, une magicienne… Bref, une bande mal assortie qu'on confie habituellement à la surveillance des latrines. Mais quand on leur colle une vraie affaire — un double meurtre, rien que ça —, l'excitation retombe vite. Et si ce n'était pas une chance qu'on leur offrait, mais un piège ?

The company of the Ring is torn asunder. Frodo and Sam continue their journey alone down the great River Anduin - alone, that is, save for the mysterious creeping figure that follows wherever they go. This continues the classic tale begun in The Fellowship of the Ring, which reaches its awesome climax in The Return of the King.

Frodo and the Companions of the Ring have been beset by danger during their quest to prevent the Ruling Ring from falling into the hands of the Dark Lord by destroying it in the Cracks of Doom. Now they continue their journey alone down the great River Anduin, alone, that is, save for the mysterious creeping figure that follows wherever they go.

Germanie, 42 après J.-C. Rude, brutale et impitoyable : c'est la vie que découvre Cato, recrue de fraîche date de la deuxième légion romaine. Et malgré ses relations en haut lieu, il aurait bien besoin d'un allié parmi ses camarades - car il a été promu au-dessus de ses pairs sur ordre de l'Empereur, ce qui lui vaut l'inimitié de ses compagnons d'armes. Or il gagne vite le respect de son centurion, Macro, un soldat aguerri, aussi fruste que Cato est vif d'esprit et cultivé. Tout les sépare, pourtant ils comprennent bientôt qu'ils ont beaucoup à apprendre l'un de l'autre.

A lush jungle teeming with danger. Savage dinosaurs seeking blood. A fallen princess intent on vengeance. A mysterious, end-of-floor celebration for the top crawlers, dubbed “The Butcher’s Masquerade”. The sixth floor. The Hunting Grounds. As the remaining crawlers battle for their lives, a new, terrible threat looms. Outside, tourists are finally allowed to enter the game, and they are here and ready to hunt. Among them is Vrah, a famed and veteran hunter, intent on collecting the biggest trophy of her career.

A pantheon of forgotten gods. An old grudge between a talk show host, an heiress, and the man they shattered along the way. A rapidly deteriorating AI system. An inconvenient tiara upon the head of a friend.

When it comes to action and adventure, every hero needs a good sidekick. Holmes has Watson, Batman has Robin, and Daniel has . . . Orrin. More like brothers than friends, they always have each other's backs. And as Daniel is the big, strong, handsome type, Orrin is more than happy to remain in his shadow at school, at parties, pretty much everywhere. Then things take a turn for the truly weird when a terrible accident catapults the pair into a world totally unlike their own, in which the rules of a role-playing game hold sway.

Après les événements tragiques qui ont secoué le monde vampirique, Phoenix n'a plus qu'une obsession, devenue sa raison de vivre : annihiler celui qui a instauré sa dictature sur le monde de la nuit et anéanti les vies de ceux auxquels il tenait. Devenu l'un des leaders de la résistance à la tyrannie, Phoenix sait qu'une fois sa vengeance accomplie, il pourra rejoindre celle dont l'absence le détruit peu à peu.

The ninth floor. Nine armies, each led by rich and powerful aliens from across the galaxy. Each team has one objective: to capture and hold the castle at the very center of the battlefield. Strategy, alliances, pitched battles, and, of course, betrayal ... It all makes for great fun and even greater television. After all, none of these powerful aliens really die when they’re playing war. Except this time. This time, winner takes all. Those who fall, stay in the ground.

Une nuit, alors qu'elle rentre chez elle, Samantha Watkins, jeune bibliothécaire au quotidien morne et insipide, va voir sa vie prendre un virage à 180 degrés de par sa rencontre avec un "ange"... Loin des gardiens du paradis, l'homme qui la choisit pour devenir son assistante et mettre sa vie en danger dans l'enquête sur les étranges disparitions de la région, est un vampire de cinq cents ans, dont la fonction principale est de veiller au maintien du secret de l'existence de son espèce.

Après un terrible accident de voiture et la prise de conscience encore plus terrible des sentiments qu'elle éprouve pour l'ange des vampires du comté de Kerington dont elle est devenue l'assistante reconnue et respectée, Samantha Watkins va de nouveau se heurter à la violence et au danger qu'implique son travail en tentant de retrouver les meurtriers de plusieurs de ces êtres surnaturels. Outre la difficulté de réprimer son amour pour Phoenix, cette nouvelle enquête va mettre ses nerfs à rude épreuve, d'autant que dans ses cauchemars, une voix lui susurre qu'il sera bientôt temps de rejoindre la Nuit...

The usual result of a human taking a runaway semitruck head-on is a very sudden, very fast track to the pearly gates. But for one newly noncorporeal man, there's another option: become a dungeon. Feeling sorry for the desperate angel assigned to him, the man relents. Heck, if it doesn't work out, he can always chat with Saint Peter about it later. Next thing you know, he's a dungeon. Admittedly, a small run-down, somewhat unimpressive dungeon (more of a house, actually), but you gotta start somewhere, right?
