100 nábojů 10 - Dekadence

Lex Luthor… Lidový hrdina? Od té doby, co se Superman stal superhrdinou, byl označován mnoha způsoby. Pro někoho se stal obráncem pravdy, spravedlnosti a amerického snu, pro jiné velkým modrým skautíkem. V tomto příběhu však vystupuje ve zcela nové roli: jako smrtelně nebezpečná hrozba budoucnosti člověka. Uznávaný scenárista Brian Azzarello (SUPERMAN: PRO ZÍTŘEK, 100 NÁBOJŮ) spojil síly s výtvarníkem Leem Bermejem (JOKER) a stvořil odvážný příběh, v němž čtenářům poskytuje vzácný náhled do mysli Lexe Luthora a odhaluje důvod, kvůli němuž se miliardář – dlouho považovaný za nejodpornějšího zloducha komiksového světa DC – odhodlal stát příslovečným trnem v Supermanově oku: zasvětil svůj život záchraně lidstva před nelidskou mimozemskou bytostí.

Wonder Woman je osamělá. Žije na pomezí světů. Královna Amazonek ji vychovala jako vlastní, ale princezna a bojovnice Diana mezi své krajanky nezapadá. Všechny znají legendu, podle níž byla stvořena z hlíny, aby bezdětná královna konečně získala vytouženou dceru – a proto se k ní chovají jako k někomu cizímu. I když ve světě ze všech svých superhrdinských sil bojuje za spravedlnost, doma zůstává vyvržencem. Daleko od amazonského Rajského ostrova hrají olympští bohové své vlastní temné hry. Marnotratný syn Apollón hodlá uchvátit uprázdněný trůn svého otce Dia a v nebezpečí se octnou nejen jiná mstivá božstva, ale i nevinní lidé. A co se nachází v samém jádru toho konfliktu? Wonder Woman a tajemství, které otřese celým jejím světem. Brzy se dozví pravdu o svém původu… a pak poteče krev. Zažijte zcela nový začátek příběhů ikonické hrdinky v knize WONDER WOMAN: KREV, jednom z nejpříznivěji hodnocených komiksů roku 2012. Přináší vám jej duo osvědčených tvůrců, scenáristy BRIANA AZZARELLA (Joker, 100 nábojů) a výtvarníka CLIFFA CHIANGA (Neil Young’s Greendale, Zatanna). Původně vydáno jako Wonder Woman č. 1–6.
