Comedian Melville Snelson's standup comedy is two decades past its sell-by date, and hecklers now outnumber fans. In the 1990s, “edgy” standup comic MELVILLE SNELSON had it all—but twenty-five years later, his jokes come off as tired and offensive. Desperate for a comeback, Snelson sets out on tour with a group of young, socially conscious comedians. Can a '90s has-been hit the big time, or is Snelson about to be cancelled for good? A hilarious, definitely adult contemporary satire that mocks the dying breaths of white male entitlement.

The Wrong Earth, Vol. 1

Un enfant particulier vient au monde dans une famille quelque peu atypique. Cette naissance bouleversera en profondeur l’existence de ces gens pour qui, dorénavant, des événements tous plus étranges les uns que les autres vont s’enchaîner de manière bien inattendue. Un destin tragique menace les différents peuples de la planète, orchestré par une caste mystérieuse prête à tout pour réduire à peau de chagrin les droits les plus élémentaires de ceux-ci, et ainsi s’octroyer les pleins pouvoirs à son seul profit. Ces tristes personnages sont à deux doigts de parvenir à leurs fins. Clara, son secret et ses proches parviendront-ils à contrer les plans machiavéliques de ces entités grises ? Stupéfiant, ce roman est également dangereux. Si vous y plongez, il risque de vous dévorer de l’intérieur. Prendrez-vous ce risque ? À PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR Né en Belgique francophone en 1964, Paul Constant est de ces personnes dont l’imagination débordante constitue une sorte de fond permanent acquis durant son enfance, enjolivant la vie par-delà ce qu’elle a de plus excitant et enivrant. L’écriture s’imposera à lui comme suite logique d’une vie déjà bien remplie, pour le plus grand plaisir de ses lecteurs qui éprouveront la sensation de n’en avoir jamais assez tant sa plume est passionnante.

Le terrible secret de Clara

Three high school jocks in the 1980s are accidentally frozen by an experimental cryogenics device, only to be revived in the computer-driven, superhero movie-loving world of 2019--an era ruled by nerds! "Evokes vintage Hollywood hits such as Revenge of the Nerds, Weird Science, Real Genius, Back to the Future and The Breakfast Club. The story: Three high school jocks in the 1980s are accidentally frozen by an experimental cryogenics device, only to be revived in the tech-driven, superhero-loving, empathy-counseling world of 2019 -- in other words, an era shaped by the nerds they once tormented... the art team of Alan Robinson and Randy Elliott (with covers by David Nakayama) have plenty of fun with scenes keyed to 1980s popcorn classics.."--DEADLINE HOLLYWOOD "PLANET OF THE NERDS #1 captures the goofy joy of 80s classics like Revenge of the Nerds, Back To The Future, and Real Genius. Then, with the most elegant of plot twists, it updates the story for a different age. Smart, fast paced and beautifully drawn."-- Gene Ha (Mae) "Highly satisfying.... (with) sharp writing from Constant and well-executed art from Robinson and Elliott, plus spectacular coloring from Sobreiro."-- COMICS BEAT "We all know that nerds won the great nerd/jock battle of the 80s, but what if a bunch of Jocks were frozen in time and emerged not knowing the war was over? That's the question Planet of the Nerds asks, and the answer is, ironically, delightfully nerdy nerdy fun."--Arthur Wyatt, (Judge Dredd) "Clever and profound." -- io9 "This is a really good bit." -- Daniel Kibblesmith (Santa's Husband) "Ahoy has found a way to simply revitalize comics by going back to basics. Amazing writing and stunning interior artwork."-- READING WITH A FLIGHT RING "Paul Constant's writing is witty and insightful." -- POP CULTURE SQUAD "The art by Robinson and the colors by Sobreiro conspire to provide just the right retro look reminiscent of the work of Ed Piskor."-- COMICS GRINDER "AHOY's offerings so far have been a celebration of a comic world won by all us geeks. Planet of the Nerds continues that creatively invigorating streak while also serving as a cleverly written, beautifully illustrated cautionary tale for non-comics bullies everywhere." -- Chris Ryall, President & Publisher/CCO, IDW Publishing
