Bucci and Jacopo Camagni: a story with young boys and two islands as protagonists. Elba, that of dreams and love, and Pianosa, with its load of mystery and restlessness. Here, between these two worlds, our story moves. A look at the relationships between people in the age of social media; a manifesto of the social-media-generation that blends mysteries and surprising sentimental dramas “.

Starting from the big webcomics with Sweet Home – horror that inspired a Netflix live-action – and passing through the delicacy of one of the most anticipated shojo, A Sign of Affection, and for the irony of Musubu’s hard work, our proposal will land west on Far Cry, one of the Ubisoft titles we’ve most eagerly awaited, and on Deep Beyond, the new international project by Mirka Andolfo, this time as a screenwriter.

In our case, the first chapter of two great US series by Image Comics: Crossover by Donny Cates and Geoff Shaw e Two Moon by John Arcudi and Valerio Giangiordano. We are living in a period of great interest in comics and perhaps some of the merit is also due to this type of initiative that creates a real dialogue with readers “.
