BLOODLINES : HOSTILE TAKEOVER #1-6 (J.T. Krul / V.K. Marion)

http://imageshack.com/a/img633/6237/XTVfqV.jpg

A partir d’avril 2016, l’éditeur DC Comics revisitera la saga Bloodlines à l’occasion d’une mini-série en six chapitres sous-titrée Hostile Takeover (occupation hostile), écrite par J.T. Krul (un revenant en qui DC Comics avait fondé beaucoup d’espoirs lors du lancement du New 52) et illustrée par V. Ken Marion.

Bloodlines est un crossover publié en 1993 au sein de plusieurs Annuals avant de se conclure dans le diptyque Bloodbath écrit par Dan Raspler. Il racontait la confrontation entre les super-héros de l’univers DC et une race d’extra-terrestres xénomorphes se nourrissant du liquide cérébro-spinal humain.

Les rares survivants étaient alors transformés en une nouvelle génération de surhommes aux pseudonymes très marqués par l’époque : Blood Pack, Razorsharp, Psyba-Rats, Anima, Loose Cannon, Argus ou Gunfire ; le seul a avoir eu une véritable carrière étant le Hitman de Garth Ennis et John McCrea.

Dans cette nouvelle histoire en six chapitres, Krul et Marion orchestrent une nouvelle invasion horrifique où les habitants d’une petite ville qui ont péri lors du crash d’un météore sont les mieux lotis. Les survivants se retrouvent quant à eux confrontés à une bataille infernale pour le contrôle de leur esprit et de leur propre corps.

Que feriez-vous si la plus grande menace de l’humanité était bien profondément enfouie en vous ?

Ci-dessous, la couverture alternative de Jill Thompson :

Amusant.
J’avais gardé le souvenir d’un événement globalement anecdotique, mais en fait, je n’avais pas lu grand-chose. Récemment, j’ai trouvé l’Annual de Robin consacré à cette saga, écrit par Chuck Dixon et dessiné par Kieron Dwyer (autant dire que j’ai accroché), avec différents encreurs, dont Garcia-Lopez. Complètement dispensable et effectivement anecdotique, mais plutôt bien écrit et bien dessiné.
Quelle idée, cela dit, de revisiter ce truc.

Carrément. Je me demande si quelqu’un pilote encore DC Comics.

Bah, ils font leur Secret Wars !

J’avais réuni quelques numéros d’**Anima **(je ne sais plus pourquoi, il me semble que la scénariste est aussi romancière) je vais voir si je les trouve et regarder ça de plus près.

Eddie, Albert, and Dana search for answers about what is happening to them—but the truth may be worse than they can imagine. Plus, Duncan already lost his family to the secret alien infestation, and now he’s driven to get a little payback. Time for some mercy killing.

It’s carnage on the 50-yard line! As Eddie, Albert, and Dana try to deal with the enemy aliens gestating in their bodies, a more immediate threat strikes during the high school football game. Now is the time in BLOODLINES when the monsters come out to play.

Ever since they were infected by alien parasites, Eddie and the others have been fighting the threat inside their own bodies—fighting to save themselves and everyone around them. But now, the infestation has hit critical mass and the loved ones they were trying to protect have been taken over, body and soul![/quote]
