Ahoy annonce la mini-série Babs, un pastiche d’heroïc fantasy par les deux compères Garth Ennis et Jacen Burrows. Début de la publication en juillet.
“Writing BABS was an absolute hoot,” said Ennis in a statement by AHOY. “The character is one of my favorite types—good at the job but crap at life, with a lousy attitude to boot—and the world of Sword & Sorcery provides endless opportunities for deeply disrespectful humor. Having our heroine smash her way through goblins, ogres, imps, incels and other vermin was extremely satisfying; nobody’s going to be Making Middle Earth Great Again while she’s around.”
“I’ve been lucky enough to work in a lot of genres over the years but I have always wanted to work on a fantasy story,” followed Burrows. “I’m having such a great time getting to design the world and characters and I can’t wait to take readers on this wild ride. The humor, the action, the wild creatures, and settings, this really is a dream project for me!”
From legendary writer Garth Ennis (TheBoys , Preacher ) and superstar artist Jacen Burrows (Crossed , The Punisher): Meet Babs, a barbarian thief with an itchy metal wardrobe and the world’s worst enchanted sword (named Barry). Together they travel a fantastic landscape of wizards, dragons, demons, castles-and a band of very angry, very white knights. Babs wasn’t looking for a fight, but she’s never found a bad situation she couldn’t make 100 times worse! Featuring variant covers by Chris Burnham (BatmanInc .) and Amanda Conner (HarleyQuinn ).
Garth Ennis and Jacen Burrows’ sword-and-satire epic thickens as the barbarian thief Babs is forced into an awkward confrontation with the skeletal Lord of the Undead and his equally un-deceased queen! Meanwhile, a mysogynist goblin schemes to get revenge on Babs.
More outrageous sword-slinging from the red-hot team of Garth Ennis & Jacen Burrows (Get Fury, Crossed)! On a mission to recover her friend Izzy, Babs takes to the sea aboard a ship of smug, precious, affected elves, whose very existence infuriates her—and whose captain has undisclosed plans for her!
More sword-and-social-satire action from the acclaimed Ennis/Burrows team! In the depths of Tiberius Toledo’s diamond mine, Babs and her allies toil in captivity, until an escape plan forms-involving the libidinous Head Guard and a shocking sacrifice of virtue!
Fists! Swords! Blood and eyeballs! The hit series by Ennis (TheBoys ) and Burrows (GetFury ) concludes with Babs locked in final combat against Lord Tiberius and his horde of White Knights! Will somebody’s janky nasty bits play a decisive role in the ultimate battle? What do you think?
T’es insupportable parfois, je me demande comment font ta femme et tes enfants, t’es pires que tes filles. J’espère pour toi que tu n’as pas ça dans tes interventions en école.
Oui Excalibur a inspiré et influencé pas mal de monde ! On a des épées magiques chez les X-Men et certains héros (Petit flocon de neige, Hulking…) - mais celle-ci parle !
