A VICIOUS CIRCLE #1 (Mattson Tomlin / Lee Bermejo)

BOOM! Studios announced a new original series, A Vicious Circle, a prestige three-issue series, from Mattson Tomlin and artist Lee Bermejo.

Shawn Thacker is a trained assassin from the future who seeks revenge on the only other man with his affliction—each life they take forces them both to involuntarily travel between vastly different past and future eras. Spanning from 22nd century Tokyo to 1950s New Orleans to the Cretaceous Era and beyond, the two mortal rivals are locked in a battle of wills that spans millions of years, all to alter the course of history.

“A VICIOUS CIRCLE is a passion project and the most deliciously challenging thing I’ve done in my career thus far. This is thanks to the collaboration with Mattson, whose gift of being able to bring intimacy and subtle nuance to epic genre concepts helps make them feel personal as much as bombastic,” said Bermejo in a press release from BOOM! Studios. “ It’s also an opportunity for us to embrace and play with what makes the medium of sequential art so unique and give readers a tailored, stylistic experience to every sequence.”

oula, ça a l’air barré ça

J’aime pas les romans photo et Bermejo ca vire drôlement à ça. Sans moi.

C’est vrai que sur les planches en noir et blanc, ça fait vraiment ça… Sur les autres, j’ai l’impression qu’il adopte un style différent pour chaque époque, ça peut être intéressant.
