Original Title
Quatre contre les Loups
A unique blend of adventure novel and manga, by one of the finest authors of middle-grade fiction in Québec!
Midway between Kick-Ass and Watchmen, ordinary superheroes rush to defend a haunted house!
Eastwood, a small town like any other? Wrong… When night falls, four superheroes patrol the streets. Their goal: to save the old theme park, and more specifically its haunted house, also known as “the house of the first kiss”. Local authorities are in fact threatening to destroy the place, now the hangout for the Wolfpack gang. And so, masked but without any powers other than their desire for justice, Felix, a martial arts champion, Léonie, a gymnast, Zack, a baseball pitcher, and Miguel, a boxer, become Rei, Effie, Babe and Pep. Night after night, they face Reese, Tattoo Girl, their two monsters and a pack of baby wolves. Behind the scenes of these battles, other forces are at play: the soul of the old park, the mysterious Ma'Sherlie, and Bernard Douglas, the powerful businessman who is also Léonie's stepfather. Eastwood, a small town like any other? Wrong!
