Lanfeust de Troy #2
Thanos l'incongru
Troy est un monde fascinant, où la magie intervient dans le quotidien de tous. Chacun en effet possède un pouvoir, petit ou grand, plus ou moins utile. L'un a le don de figer l'eau en glace, l'autre le pouvoir d'émettre des pets colorés... Lanfeust, lui, sait fondre le métal d'un seul regard. Dans son village, il est donc tout naturellement devenu apprenti chez le forgeron. Mais le contact d'une épée venue des lointaines Baronnies révèle en lui une puissance exceptionnelle : il ne dispose plus d'un don unique mais d'un pouvoir absolu et illimité. Accompagné du vieux sage Nicolède et de ses deux filles aux caractères si dissemblables, Lanfeust est emporté dans un tourbillon d'aventures au cours desquelles il croise les plus incongrues, les plus surprenantes et les plus dangereuses des créatures.

I'm loving this series! It's really good. Things get moving here with the appearance of villains and a clear objective in view.
Cixi was also toned down which is good.
Side note : the recurrent mention of rape, the gore and violence make me surprised that this is a graphic novel read by kids.

Review of Danish version.
2½-3 stars.
The flat characters continue, though there's slightly more world building in this volume. Cixi is still extremely sexually harassing, but it's okay, because she's worried when Zanfyst is hurt, right? And Zanfyst and C'ian are now engaged where volume one seemed to indicate dating/courting. (???)
With this volume we've got ourselves a villain, who doesn't get much beyond classic villain introduction (he loves to be evil) and then he's gone until next volume.
Will read all eight volumes, but wondering if it's a waste of time. It's all very superficial coupled with so much sexism and harassment it's astonishing. :/

The quest continues, now with a main antagonist — the pirate, Thanos.
Tension increases as the plot begins to take shape. At volume’s close Lanfeust and Thanos are racing for the sword of supreme power, the fate of Troy hanging in the balance.
The art has improved a little, though it was no slouch to begin with.
While Lanfeust makes excellent and consistent use of expository captions, it would read more smoothly with additional narrative summary captions.
The setting, characters, and scenarios continue to surprise and captivate. Plenty of humor as well. All in all, an excellent book.

This was so good, I read it all over my morning coffee, quick read but immensely satisfying. The art is so dynamic, it feels like Joe Mad but a European version of that so like, better and more detailed. The humour is always there, it bounces between quirky like in Asterix and mid-90s-written-for-teen-boys type of juvenile. I wish I would’ve discovered this in my teens! If you can get past the book’s immaturity, there a big epic adventure well worth reading.

Hier geht's grad weiter wie im ersten Teil, dementsprechend ist der dortigen Kritik auch nichts hinzuzufügen. Gute Nutzung des Potentials dieser magischen Welt mittels einer Abenteuergeschichte, die in großen Schritten vorankommt.

Toujours très bien comme le premier tome. Ici, la trame se développe avec l'apparition de l'antagoniste principal. À suivre dans le tome 3.

Aussi bon que le premier, on entre un peu plus dans l'action

Beaucoup plus attrayant que le premier épisode, l'adversaire est enfin dévoilé et l'aventure peut se poursuivre

Lu en audiolib, très immersif même si je préfère avoir les images sur une BD d'habitude. Très reussi. Lu en 2023
