You are welcome.

Looking at Comixology, I just noticed that Blast by Manu Larcenet, a 200-page graphic novel, is currently on sale for $0.98. While I haven't read this one, I have read Le combat ordinaire (not sure if this has ever been translated into English) by Larcenet, and it was truly awesome. I think Manu Larcenet is widely considered one of the best French comics writers.

And it's being published by Europe Comics, a new imprint that seems to be an alliance of European publishers that aims to translate European comics into English and publish them digitally. That sounds great: https://www.comixology.com/comics-sa...d=12385&lang=1

By the way, Superior Foes of Spider-Man, which is also currently on sale, is lots of fun.

EDIT: I just found out that Le combat ordinaire has been translated into English as Ordinary Victories: http://www.europecomics.com/album/1-ordinary-victories/. Hopefully, it's coming soon to Comixology.

SECOND EDIT (sorry!): I also found out that Blast is the first in a four-volume series.
