Véritable franchise
cross-média, Blue Dragon a bénéficié
des services d’Akira Toriyama, le créateur de Dragon
Ball Z, lors de la conception du jeu vidéo sorti sur Xbox 360. En
février 2009, Kana sort le premier tome de l’adaptation en manga signée
Tsuneo Takano et mise en image par Takeshi Obata, le
dessinateur de Death Note. Cerise sur le gâteau, la série
ne compte que 4 tomes, vendus chacun 6,25 euros.

Depuis son départ
de la direction de Série B chez Delcourt, le dessinateur Olivier Vatine
n’a eu de cesse de tisser des liens avec la Chine en multipliant les voyages sur place et
en signant la préface du collectif Chroniques de Pékin
chez l’éditeur de manhua Xiao Pan. Mieux, toute l’iconographie de sa nouvelle structure Comix
Buro, proposant différentes affiches et sketchbooks d’auteurs, tourne
autour de la révolution communiste chinoise.
Pour le début d’année 2009, le créateur
d’Aquablue revient avec deux nouveautés pour le compte de
la maison d’édition au triangle rouge. 9 Tigres, du nom
d’une mystérieuse société secrète, propose de découvrir
les aventures d’une tueuse à gages chinoise intraitable. Scénariste sur
l’album, Vatine collabore sur ce titre avec le dessinateur pékinois Jian
Yi, déjà vu dans le fameux collectif sur la capitale de l’empire du
Milieu.
Nommé Le Petit livre rouge (du story-board), le second titre
réunira les différents story-boards réalisé pour plusieurs
séries du label Série B. Réputé pour ses découpages
dynamiques, ce livre complété par un entretien avec Olivier Vatine devrait faire
des heureux contre 25 euros. Les amateurs de cuisines internes ou les apprentis auteurs pourront
ainsi découvrir les secrets de fabrication, décortiquer le travail du board et voir
les différences avec les pages définitives sur les titres
Arcanes, Tao Bang, Golden
Cup, Angela et celui de 9
Tigres. À l’heure de la globalisation et des collaborations entre
auteurs issus de différents continents ne parlant pas la même langue, le story-board
s’avère être une étape idéale pour se faire comprendre…
Une idée (presque) révolutionnaire !

Lancé il
y a 14 ans, dans la collection Soleil de Nuit, Lanfeust a fait bien du chemin depuis ses
débuts confidentiels jusqu’à la conquête des Étoiles ! Alors que
Lanfeust Odyssey, le nouveau cycle, se prépare, que penser de la saga d’Arleston et
Tarquin, véritable porte-étendard des éditions Soleil ?
Peut-on parler de classique concernant Lanfeust de Troy ? Cela
paraît une évidence. Pourquoi ? Parce qu’il s’agit d’un des plus
grands succès de la BD contemporaine, que cette réussite s’accompagne
d’une indéniable qualité, et que cette série aura amené un
nombre incroyable de jeunes lecteurs à s’intéresser de plus près
à cet art dont on dit qu’il est le neuvième. La sortie de l’ultime
album du deuxième cycle est peut-être l’occasion de revenir sur ce qui
s’apparente à un véritable phénomène. Reprenons depuis le
début… Lire la
suite...
La magie fait partie de la vie quotidienne des habitants du monde de Troy : chacun possède
en effet un pouvoir, qu’il soit utile ou non, terrifiant ou ridicule. Dans le paisible
village de Glinin vit un jeune homme du nom de Lanfeust dont la capacité est de faire
fondre le métal d’un seul regard : il sera forgeron. Mais un jour, par un de ces
tours que nous joue le hasard, il met la main sur une épée dont le pommeau,
sculpté dans l’ivoire d’une bête fabuleuse, le Magohamoth, lui
confère un pouvoir absolu et illimité. Il devra donc quitter sa vie de simple
villageois pour vivre celle d’un héros malgré lui et affronter un être
vil et cruel doué de pouvoirs semblables aux siens : Thanos le pirate.

Lanfeust
de Troy réunit tous les éléments que l’on peut attendre
d’une série de ce type : un groupe d’aventuriers aux caractères
tranchés et dissonants, une quête mystique dans un univers médiéval,
des héros qui subissent de multiples épreuves, des bêtes sauvages et
improbables, des méchants très... méchants, et bien sûr
d’accortes donzelles pour égayer le paysage (mais pas seulement !).
Tout n’y est certainement pas parfait. Par moments, Arleston donne l’impression de
s’égarer, ne faisant pas beaucoup avancer son histoire dans certains tomes. Mais une
chose est sûre : il sait où il va, même s’il prend parfois des chemins
détournés pour nous y conduire. Et sa façon de raconter son histoire, bien
que fort classique et codifiée, est rarement prise en défaut : l’action,
ponctuée de scènes plus humoristiques, se déroule sans véritable
temps mort, les dialogues foisonnent de jeux de mots et les textes narratifs ne manquent jamais
d’ajouter une note d’humour. De quoi nous rappeler la véritable raison
d’être de l’histoire : divertir ! Cet humour qui, il est vrai, n’est pas
toujours des plus fins, naît surtout de la confrontation de personnages aux divergences
plus que marquées. Abstraction faite de l’éternelle naïveté de
Lanfeust, sur laquelle les auteurs ont tendance à trop s’appesantir, chacun tient
bien son rôle, à commencer par le troll Hébus, véritable trouvaille
d’une série qu’il semble parfois porter à lui seul.

Le dessin répond lui aussi aux canons du genre. Accompagné aux
couleurs d’Yves Lencot puis de Claude Guth, Tarquin ne
cesse de s’améliorer au fil des tomes, ses hésitations du début
faisant place à une maîtrise de plus en plus assurée. Il en ressort
malheureusement une qualité inégale sur l’ensemble de la série.
Après tout, qu’importe ? C’est là le signe d’une époque
où l’on pouvait s’enthousiasmer pour une série dont les auteurs
n’étaient pas encore des professionnels accomplis. On remarque d’ailleurs ce
phénomène chez d’autres dessinateurs. Citons au hasard le travail
d’Olivier Ledroit sur les Chroniques de la Lune
Noire, de Tiburce Oger sur Gorn, de
Danard sur Marlysa, d’Aouamri
sur Mortepierre ou, dans un genre complètement différent,
de Lewis Trondheim sur Lapinot et les carottes de
Patagonie.
Quoi qu’il en soit, l’ensemble est cohérent et démontre
l’implication des auteurs dans leur série fétiche, une Å“uvre
qui, si elle ne plaira pas forcément aux acharnés de l’underground les plus
obtus, constitue une véritable référence couronnée par le
succès que l’on sait. Une réussite telle qu’ils ne pouvaient pas
s’arrêter en si bon chemin... De Lanfeust des Étoiles à Trolls de Troy,
des Conquérants de Troy à Gnomes de Troy, Arleston a en effet mis en place
l’un des univers de la BD qui comptent le plus de séries parallèles. Simple
mine d’or à exploiter ou véritable source d’inspiration intarissable ?
La qualité de ces différentes suites varie en tout cas du très bon au
franchement décevant.

Lanfeust des Étoiles s’achève donc avec ce
huitième tome, et ponctue un cycle qui aura connu des hauts et des bas.
L’intérêt suscité par les aventures intersidérales de Lanfeust
aura fortement varié d’un album à l’autre, entre de nombreuses
trouvailles à l’efficacité redoutable et une fâcheuse tendance à
se perdre en chemin à force de trop vouloir en faire. Malgré ces quelques
égarements, c’est sur une note résolument positive que se referme Le sang des
comètes, car Arleston aura fait preuve d’une grande audace dans
plusieurs de ses choix : faire vieillir certains de ses personnages, et ainsi jouer avec la
relativité temporelle, voire en faire disparaître d’autres, qui pouvaient
pourtant paraître indispensables. Se montrer audacieux dans une série
établie, la clé du succès ? Toujours est-il que Lanfeust des
Étoiles s’en sort admirablement, bien plus en tout cas que
d’autres séries qui viennent de connaître leur dénouement. La fin trop
longtemps attendue, et donc forcément décevante, de Gorn
et des Chroniques de la Lune Noire, à qui la surprise et
l’originalité font cruellement défaut, s’érige ainsi en parfait
contre-exemple.
Que faut-il attendre du nouveau cycle à paraître, et qui verra Lanfeust quitter les
Étoiles pour retrouver son monde de Troy ? Seul l’avenir nous le dira. Ce qui est
sûr, par contre, c’est l’attachement inébranlable de toute une
génération pour un personnage qui, comme tous les héros d’antan, ne
meurt jamais. À moins que…

Oubliez les autres collectifs du moment, c’est Sky
Doll Lacrima Christi qu’il vous faut. Parce qu’en plus
d’être un livre-objet magnifique – le moindre petit
élément semble travaillé –, les planches de
Benjamin, Fernandez, Barbucci,
Smudja, Khaled ou Bourgoin rivalisent
d’inventivité et d’effets spectaculaires. Un régal pour les yeux.
Côté scénar, si toutes les histoires sont loin d’être
passionnantes, chacune renvoie aux papesses Agape et Ludovique et, à leur façon,
creuse le background des personnages et de cet univers à la fois commercial et
religieux.

J’ai eu envie de faire cette planche après avoir répondu à un petit
questionnaire du site “Ecolo-Info”, qui était curieux de connaître
l’avis de quelques blogueurs d’horizons variés sur le thème de
l’écologie et notamment sur le grenelle de l’environnement.
Et vous, qu’auriez-vous répondu ? Êtes-vous des écolos
convaincus, responsables ou militants ? Avez-vous, comme moi, votre mauvaise conscience (pas
forcément rousse et moustachue) qui vous suit à la trace ? Ou est-ce que,
finalement, vous vous en fichez pas mal ?

MacNN reports on a newly published Apple patent application which details ongoing
research into alternative cooling systems for notebook computers.
Specifically, Apple explores the possibility of a liquid cooling system for their notebook
computers. Quote: Current MacBooks use air cooling, driven by internal fans; while this is
sufficient, it is thought that future components -- such as faster video cards and quad-core CPUs
-- may force Apple to use more efficient (and possibly quieter) cooling. Active and passive methods
are being suggested. Apple suggests that the heat could be dissipated through an aluminum
plate located behind the computer's display. This positioning would help reduce the amount of heat
transmitted to the user's lap. This issue has received some press
after Apple warned that "prolonged contact with your body could cause discomfort and potentially a
burn."

Last month, in writing about the financial crisis, I tried walking through the root causes of how
the financial crisis happened and how to prevent it from happening again -- and the point I kept
coming back to was the a href="http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20081113/0321092822.shtml"lack of
transparency/a. It wasn't (as some people want to claim) "greed" or a "lack of regulation" that
caused the problem, but bad information (though, some might blame that on greed and a lack of
regulation). Aaron deOliveira points out that some folks are noticing the same thing, suggesting
that the real problem these days isn't a lack of liquidity in the markets, but a a
href="http://www.marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2008/11/the-need-for-re.html"
target="_new"significant lack in reliable information/a. People just don't know how much things are
worth, and that's a huge problem. br /br / Last week, on the always excellent Planet Money podcast,
there was a discussion about what money really is. Many people think that it's a hard
representation of value, but it's not. As the podcast noted, a
href="http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2008/11/hear_money_is_a_relationship.html"money is a
relationship/a. Take a listen to fully understand what this means, but it's exactly right. Money is
merely a relationship of trust between certain parties that enables trade. If I trust this piece of
paper is worth a certain amount, I can do business with you. If I don't trust that the paper or
trinket you hand me is actually worth anything, then I will not do business with you, and your
"money" is not money at all. br /br / The problem that we're experiencing today is that, due to a
lack of clear and itrustworthy/i information out there, no one is quite sure what anything is
worth, and that makes any sort of trade difficult. Money only works when there's a trusting
relationship, and you only get that sort of trusting relationship when there is a reasonable flow
of information to the parties involved, such that they're confident that what they have (or what
they're trading for) has value. The problem over the last few months (or, for some, years) is this
realization that the information they had was bad, and they could not trust it, and thus, the
"relationship" that made thing valuable disappeared. Without this trust, plenty of things that
ido/i have value are being severely undervalued, because there's no (or very little) credible
information, and that's leading to panic, because no one is sure what anything might actually be
worth. br /br / So, once again, we're back to the situation where we were before: the answer should
be imore/i information, imore/i widely distributed in a much imore/i open fashion. We should all be
demanding significantly more transparency both from corporations on any sort of investment they put
forth as well as from the government who is shoveling dollars -- but not information -- into the
market to try to deal with the problem. But, until it gets imore information/i into the market,
then the trust will not be regained, and the dollars they throw into the market will merely
decrease in value, because there are not enough relationships built on trustworthy information.br

Hackint0sh - iPod Touch -

Hi Chaps.
I got my hackint0sh booting first time, using kallyway 10.5 i believe.
But the graphics card in it, doesnt seem to handle it, it leaves alot of artifacts around the
cursor, so after searching, it seems it doesnt support what it needs too.
So i have a 7600gs, which seems to be a better option, but heres the Q. Can i just swap them over
like i would a PC, or will it now be missing the drivers.
So what process should i follow in order to put drivers in? Or should i just start again.
Thanks.

 We're hard
pressed to think of a display-related story that has lingered on longer than SED (well over four
years at last count), and believe it or not, this still isn't apt to be the last you hear of it. If you'll recall, Canon recently
declared victory after winning
a lawsuit against Applied Nanotech that was previously holding it back from making progress,
and now Applied Nanotech has waved the final white flag by giving up its right to appeal. Comically
enough, it may actually be too late for Canon to even salvage the win, with president Tsuneji
Uchida noting that "at times like this, new display products are not introduced much because people
would laugh at them." Shh... nobody tell him the world's been laughing at
SED for years.

 Sure enough, the first
week of December brings the first formal slew of awards nominations, today's coming from Film
Independent's Spirit Awards. The Hollywood Reporter bring us the list of nominees, with dramas Ballast, Frozen River and Rachel Getting Married
each tied for the most nominations (six a piece, including Best Feature; the other two nominees
there are Wendy and
Lucy and The
Wrestler).
Now, these awards aren't necessarily Oscar precursors or anything -- some of these films are just
too small -- but it's difficult to deny that the likes of Milk, The Visitor, The Wrestler,
Rachel, River and documentary contender Man on Wire are all looking
at the first of many nominations in the coming weeks, most of which I can safely say are or will be
deserving. I can't speak for Ballast, but it's been earning attention in the indie world for months
and months, so do as I do and keep an eye out for it.
The greatest assurance can only be taken once the Spirit Awards are awarded on February 21. See the
full list of nominees after the jump.

interfaces available on the market, Voyager provides Plug and Play ease of use for a fast external
hard drive solution that works with both Macs and PCs. In fact, Voyager is so easy to use, that
combined with today’s low cost of hard drive storage, users can think of a bare SATA I/II
drive as being as convenient to use as a flash memory card, with the same instant access benefits
and the addition of huge storage capacity gains. In addition, Voyager is completely hot-swappable
for consumers wanting to move multiple drives at will while their computer is on and running. Its
unique design and drive eject button makes inserting, using, and removing SATA I/II hard drives a
safe and effortless procedure. /p pIdeal Solution for Storage Archives /p pThe ideal solution for
storage archives, professional photographers, videographers, and other hard drive storage archivers
will no longer need multiple drive enclosures and power supplies for every archived hard drive.
“Whether consumers want to re-task an older swapped-out hard drive, need to access multiple
drives, or want to add big capacity, low cost external storage capacity to their desktop, Voyager
is able to travel any computer user’s data universe needs with ease,” said Grant

Recently I just bought my first Mac computer (MacBook). While I am still excited over its beauty, I
have tons of questions on how to set up a few things in the house.
1. I have a old external hard drive and a Belkin wireless router. How do I set it up so that I can
access files in the hard drive wirelessly? Do I need the Airport Extreme Station to do that?
2. I plan to use VMware Fusion but does it require Windows XP with SP2 or does it accept any
verison of Windows XP?
3. Can Iwork open Microsoft Office files or vice versa?
4. How do I connect the new MacBook to TV? I only know how to do that with the VGA cable but there
is so such output on the Mac.
I am a beginner in this and would appreciate your pundit advise. If the MacBook is working out for
me, I think I would switch the entire house to Apple products.
By the way, does Apple give out discount on December 26. If so, I might as well get a IMac.
Thanks for your help

Motors has an early New Years Resolution: to be more fiscally responsible when it comes to
corporate travel. With six short, direct sentences (see official press release a
href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/12/02/grounded-gm-cancels-all-corporate-jet-service/"after the
jump/a), GM has declared that its Corporate Aviation Operations are to be shuttered. It might not
seem like a big deal on the surface, but there are apparently numerous contractual agreements that
need to be reworked to make this a reality. First, the jets themselves need to be returned, sold or
transferred to another operator. Next, after January 1st when The General pulls out, the leased
facility and grounds at Detroit Metro Airport will be emptied and GM will work with airport
officials to find another tenant. br /br /Although GM suggests that the termination of its Aviation
Operations is because its travel volume no longer requires its own dedicated corporate service,
we're pretty sure that the ribbing Wagoner and his peers took at the hands of Congress over private
jet flight had plenty to do with the decision. Expect the announcement to be part of GM's
Congress-bound business plan when it's officially announced this week.br /br /[Source: GM]pa

Hi
I am porting an application from windows to OS-X and Linux. In the app, each of the executables
loads a couple of dylibs (direct link), which in turn dlopen() more dylibs as plugins. To keep
everything similar on all platforms, the executable and all the dylibs are in the same directory.
This works fine when running from a wxWindows/Cocoa application, but the dlopen loads fail when
running from a command line application. I have done a lot of searching, and I know that app
bundles are preferred on OS-X, but it is mostly working link this. I have:
- Checked my cwdir is correct
- Linked the dylibs as @executable_path<name>
- Tried @load_path<name> as well on a couple
- Double checked the wxWindows loads properly
- Double checked the command line does not
- Linked one of the problem dlopen modules to the command line directly, which worked
- I made symbolic links in /usr/lib/xxx to the dylibs in my user directory as well, when no
change
Does anyone have any idea what I can try to get this resolved?
Thanks, J:apple:mes
