Published Mon, 03 Feb 2020 16:00:36 -0600

We like to keep an eye on Jean-Marc Lofficier's Hexagon Comics USA line, European comics mostly written by Jean-Marc Lofficier, translated into English and distributed solely through his website, Amazon page or at conventions. Selling enough copies to make it more than worthwhile, as well as making certain comics available to a wider English speaking audience. Retailers can purchase them at a 40% discount from distributor Ingram or from the publisher.

And for February , that means two books by Jean-Marc Lofficier, Hexagon Vs Heptagon with Eduardo Garcia and Time Brigade with Timothy Green II…

FEBRUARY 2020 RELEASE: HEXAGON GROUP # 2 of 2: HEXAGON VS HEPTAGON

7×10 squarebound trade paperback, 96 pages b&w. ISBN-13: 978-1-61227-933-6. US$12.95.

Stories by Jean-Marc Lofficier; Art by Eduardo Garcia, Juan Roncagliolo Berger.

The Hexagon Group was born either in 2002, when they made their first retroactive appearance in Strangers #1, or in the 1960s, depending upon how one looks at it. Like The Justice Society of America and The Avengers, the group gathered together a single team of different heroes published by Editions Lug in their own series between 1964 and 1974.

There is Jeff Sullivan, a.k.a. the Man of Brass, descended from a long line of heroes; the powerful Dark Flyer; the beautiful Black Lys from France; joined here by a bevy of new members, such as astronaut Max Tornado; the African sorcerer Mozam; Gun Gallon, exiled from an extra-dimensional realm; the Lakota warrior Rakar; and Plasma, Jeff's own daughter.

In the four stories collected in this volume, Hexagon faces the Heptagon group, an evil cabal comprised of its deadliest enemies; fight Jeff's evil brother; teams up with the French Guardian of the Republic; and is almost defeated by the evil Necromancer.

FEBRUARY 2020 RELEASE: THE TIME BRIGADE: THE GRAIL WARS
7×10 squarebound trade paperback, 48 pages color. ISBN-13: 978-1-61227-637-3. US$12.95.

Story by Jean-Marc Lofficier; Art by Timothy J. Green II; colors by James Mason.

Upon returning from a mission in time, the TIME BRIGADE is captured by the Fairy Queen VIVIEN and find themselves prisoners on an Earth where Camelot never fell and continued to exist. They learn that Vivien seized the Holy Grail, and its mysterious powers enabled her to protect Camelot. She sees the Brigade as a threat to the existence of her world, and seeks to kill them.

Our heroes are delivered by PARSIFAL, king of the Nuclear Knights, descendants of Arthur and the Round Table. But they soon discover that this Camelot is a rigid techno-medieval nightmare, from which all progress is banned. Parsifal realizes that the Brigade is a threat to him too, and also wants to destroy them…

This fantasy epic by Jean-Marc Lofficier and Timothy J. Green II (Fraction, Aeon Flux, Rush City, Starlord, Immortal Iron Fist) rewrites the Arthurian mythos against a sci-fi background..
