"The Last Count of Monte Cristo is a bold retelling of Alexandre Dumas's classic tale of love, betrayal, revenge, and redemption. This speculative update pushes the narrative into a future hundreds of years after the polar ice caps have melted and submerged our planet into a new era of technology and culture. In this futuristic reinterpretation, author Ayize Jama-Everett and illustrator Tristan Roach revisit the original inspiration of The Count of Monte Cristo--Alexandre Dumas's own father. A greatly respected general during the French Revolution, Dumas was one of the highest-ranking officers of African descent in a Western army in history. Like the protagonist of his son's story, General Dumas was betrayed and spent years in prison before getting a chance to return to his beloved France. The Last Count of Monte Cristo is a radical and powerful graphic novel update that reclaims the cultural heritage of Dumas's tale and suggests the terrible future that could threaten the human race if we continue to destroy our planet." --- Subjects: Adaptations.; Afrofuturist comics.; Comics (Graphic works); Graphic novels.; Novels.; Science fiction comics.; Black people; Sailors;

The victim of a miscarriage of justice, the Count of Monte Cristo is fired by a desire for retribution and empowered by a stroke of providence. In his campaign of vengeance, he becomes an anonymous agent of fate. The sensational narrative of intrigue, betrayal, escape, and triumphant revenge moves at a cracking pace. Alexandre Dumas' novel presents a powerful conflict between good and evil embodied in an epic saga of rich diversity that is complicated by the hero's ultimate discomfort with the hubristic implication of his own actions.--AmazonAge: Young adult, 12+- Subjects: Graphic novels.; Comics (Graphic works); Young adult literature.; False imprisonment; Revenge;

France, 1788. Edmond Dantes, a Haitian of African descent and Parisian citizen has been sentenced to a life of hell at Chateau d'If for treason against the Ancien Regime. Once a man of faith, Edmond believes he's been abandoned by God, and the only thing that keeps him going is his deep hatred of those who he believes have framed him. Faria, an older prisoner who becomes a mentor to Edmond, confesses, "I am not flesh of this realm. Your lust for revenge drew me here." Together, they escape the prison and return to Saint Domingue, where the smell of rebellion is thick in the air. Edmond, once an enslaved man himself, thought he had escaped the colonized land and his past life for good, only to return as the wealthy and mysterious Count of Monte Cristo. In pursuit of his enemies--including Mercedes, once his fiancee--he finds his careful rage growing only more reckless and ravenous. Haydee, a young revolutionist, tries to use his fury for good, while Faria, drunk off the misery Edmond has caused, hungers for the fresh taste of innocent blood. As Edmond's enemies begin to catch on to the count's true identity, and the fight for liberation from the French colonists swells to a pop, Edmond must reckon with the deal he's made with Faria. Is it any more sinister--or any different--than the pact he's made with his own inner demons?- Subjects: Paranormal comics.; Horror comics.; Historical comics.; Comics (Graphic works); Graphic novels.; Graphic novel adaptations.; Prisoners; Demonology; False imprisonment; Revenge; Betrayal; Nobility; Government, Resistance to;
