Une bonne occasion pour se rendre compte par nous même si l’ambiance du soft est aussi alléchante que le laisse présager les images qui en sont tirés.

Drain, Tome 1
Dessin de Takeda
Scénario de C.B.Cebulski

“Il a rendu son chagrin immortel, elle lui fera payer !
Son clan dévasté, sa famille massacrée, Chinatsu, une femme ninja de 400 ans n’a qu’un but dans la vie : se venger.

Devenue vampire à son tour, elle traque sans relâche le meurtrier de sa famille à travers le monde et les siècles.

Rien ni personne ne pourra l’arrêter… pas même son ancien amour, Freya, revenue pour se venger d’avoir été transformée”.

Cowa ! est un manga court (1 seul volume) mais vraiment rafraîchissant dessiné par Akira Toriyama qui traite du thème vampirique avec beaucoup d’humour mais aussi une touche de réflexion bienvenue. A découvrir si vous cherchez un manga bien illustré (de nombreuses pages sont en couleurs) et absolument pas prise de tête.

Le scénario : Cowa raconte l’histoire de Païfu, un petit vampire qui fait partie de la race des démons. Ces derniers sont abasourdis par les capacités des humains à être mauvais, à pouvoir tuer de sang froid… Païfu vivra toute une série d’aventures avec ses amis démons.

Information intéressante pour les fans de la charmante tueuse, Dark Horse s’apprête à sortir dans nos vertes contrées (ou ténébreuses, c’est selon), le tome 1 des aventures de Buffy versions comics. L’album premier du nom est prévu pour le 18 Juin pour environ 14€ en librairie. Pour ceux qui sont en manque de Sunnydale, c’est toujours bon à prendre.

From Dead to Worse (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book by Charlaine Harris

Harris outdoes herself in this pivotal eighth Sookie Stackhouse novel (after 2007’s All Together Dead), packing the story full of romantic tension and supernatural action.

Participating in a friend’s wedding and fending off the advances of her vampire ex-lover, Bill, and her blood-bonded pal, Eric, leaves Sookie chafing over the recent lack of communication from Quinn, her weretiger boyfriend. When a violent Were power struggle erupts as Vegas vampires attempt to take over Louisiana from disgraced queen Sophie-Anne, Sookie dives into the middle of it, determined to help her shape-changing, blood-drinking friends. Harris provides many fun twists, most significantly Sookie’s meeting with her fae great-grandfather, Niall Brigant, which paves the way for a shock ending that will delight longtime fans.

Romancing the Dead (Garnet Lacey, Book 3) by Tate Hallaway

It’s been one heck of a week for Garnet Lacey. The Vatican witch hunters finally think she’s dead, the FBI has closed their file on her, she’s co-founding a new coven—and the gorgeous vampire she loves has just asked her to marry him. How lucky can one girl get?
Then, her fiancé goes missing and Garnet’s worried sick. Has he been kidnapped? Or could he have run off with that blonde from the coven? Now Garnet will have to seek the help of her future stepson—the same brat who turned her over to the witch hunters for a brand-new Jaguar. But there’s more bad news: the Goddess Lilith, who camps out in her body, has been making embarrassing appearances. And on top of that, some killer’s on her tail…

Hungers of the Heart (The Guardians of the Night, Book 4) by Jenna Black

Drake is a Killer vampire.
Unlike the Guardians of the Night, Drake feeds on human blood, choosing victims who deserve to die. But still he works with the Guardians to protect those humans who yet have some good in them.
When Gabriel, the leader of the Baltimore Guardians, mysteriously disappears, Drake finds himself in charge of a small band of inexperienced fledgling vampires. When a delegation of European Killers arrives in Baltimore looking for Gabriel, Drake must call on all the savagery of his sordid past to keep the Guardians in line—and to protect them from the ruthless Killers.
Forced to confront a past he has tried so hard to outrun, Drake risks losing his humanity. His only hope is Faith, the French Seigneur’s concubine, who desperately needs his help to rescue her human sister from the Seigneur’s clutches. Then someone begins killing the members of the European vampire delegation, and Drake is the only suspect. Will Drake be saved by love, or will he become a Killer without a conscience?
