His name is Bernard Black, also known as the Black Rose, and he’s one of the best cat burglars in the world. His one weakness? Women. Bernie may be the best there is at what he does, but he’s also a virgin, and whenever he gets near a beautiful woman, he turns into a bumbling fool.
Bernie has stolen a priceless necklace from billionaire John Maiden during the Cannes Film Festival, only to have it swiped right from under him by his rival and secret love interest, the cunning Lily Frost.
In turn, John Maiden contracts out to an elite female service known as M.A.D.A.M. (Mistresses of Assasination, Destruction, and Mayhem). Their mission: retrieve the necklace at all costs and bring back Bernie’s head on a silver platter. To accomplish this, M.A.D.A.M dispatches their ten deadliest and most beautiful assassins, on a hilarious and action-packed romp through Europe.
If things go his way, Bernie might just get lucky…unless somebody kills him first.
Ten Beautiful Assassins is a wonderfully illustrated 288-page original manga graphic novel, by the artist of Speed Racer. ...

No outsider has set foot on the island of Manhattan for the past three years, and with good reason. It’s become a place of wild, dark magic, where technology and the laws of science do not work. The dark kingdom of Manhattan is at war with the United States, seeking to spread across the river to the rest of the world. Its armies of trolls, goblins, imps, ghouls and harpies are under the command of a dark sorceror: Everett Winterthorn, the Midnight King.
Isaac Silverberg is Winterthorn’s former apprentice, plucked from Death Row and given a final chance to redeem himself. The US Army makes him an offer he can’t refuse: his life, in exchange for rescuing the daughter of the governor of New Jersey. She’s been kidnapped by Winterthorn’s minions and taken into the depths of the Magic Kingdom.
It’s a mission that can only be accomplished by a mage powerful enough to face down Winterthorn. Unfortunately for Isaac Silverberg, the government believes that he is that man. In fact, they are quite sure of it.
Isaac himself isn’t so sure... ...
