BATMAN: EUROPA #1-4 (Casali, Azzarello/Camuncoli, Collectif)

Attendue depuis plus de 10 ans par de nombreux lecteurs, l’arlésienne Batman : Europa démarre ce mercredi 18 novembre aux États-Unis.

Imaginée par l’italien Matteo Casali avec Brian Azzarello (100 Bullets, DKIII: The Master Race), l’histoire voit le célèbre** justicier de Gotham** faire équipe avec son ennemi juré, le Joker, pour trouver un remède au mal qui le ronge lors d’une virée en Europe.

Originellement conçue comme un terrain de jeu pour les artistes Européens (d’où le titre), c’est finalement le dessinateur Giuseppe Camuncoli (Amazing Spider-Man) qui croque les 4 épisodes pour ses collègues Jim Lee (pour le premier numéro), Diego Latorre (pour le troisième) et Gérald Parel (pour le dernier).

je sais pas si c’est Camuncoli, la couleur dire sans encrage, mais le style de Lee devient moins lisse et ça me plait bien plus que ce qu’il a pu pondre ces 15 dernières années.

Vu qu’il a pondu ces premières pages il y a au moins 11 ans, tu aimais finalement bien le Jim Lee de l’époque. :wink:

Ce style là oui clairement. Celui de Hush ou de Sup non.

J’adore son style sur Hush tout en puissance. Sur Supes, le trai était beau mais la narration compliquée avec Azza.

Mais sur ce qui est présenté, c’est bof quand même. Jim Lee est clairement mieux inspiré d’habitude. Et Scott Williams qui n’est pas là, ça n’embellit pas les choses…
