Cet été, Marvel mettra ses vilains emblématiques à l’honneur dans Bring on the Bad Guys, une saga qui sera racontée tout au long de 7 one-shots.

The New ‹ Bring on the Bad Guys › Comic Event Changes the Balance of Power Forever

Celebrating the upcoming 50th anniversary of the groundbreaking ‹ Bring on the Bad Guys › collection, a new ‹ Bring on the Bad Guys › saga kicks off in June.

This June, behold the fury of Marvel’s greatest super villains in BRING ON THE BAD GUYS!

Announced yesterday at ComicsPro, BRING ON THE BAD GUYS is a seven-part event celebrating the nearly 50 year legacy of the groundbreaking BRING ON THE BAD GUYS trade paperback. Pioneering how comics were collected, the original BRING ON THE BAD GUYS collected key early stories of Marvel’s most iconic supervillains.

The upcoming new BRING ON THE BAD GUYS delivers a blood pounding experience across seven one-shots starring those same infamous characters: Doctor Doom, Green Goblin, Abomination, Loki, Red Skull, Dormammu, and Mephisto.

The overarching saga will be spearheaded by Emmy Award-winning writer Marc Guggenheim who kick things off in BRING ON THE BAD GUYS: DOCTOR DOOM alongside acclaimed artist Stefano Raffaele and delivers the event’s epic conclusion in BRING ON THE BAD GUYS: MEPHISTO.

A lineup of superstar creators craft the additional one-shots, each of which will contain a special backup story by Guggenheim shedding light on Mephisto’s dastardly plot AND revealing the origin of the mysterious SISTER SORROW, a new villain who plays a pivotal role throughout the storyline.

THE BALANCE OF POWER IS FOREVER CHANGED!

Mephisto seeks enough souls to power an ancient artifact called the SOUL FORGE – destined to give him dominion over ALL human souls! Doom must stop him at all costs, but who is the mysterious Sister Sorrow, and what is her connection to Mephisto’s ultimate scheme?

As someone who grew up with the original BRING ON THE BAD GUYS on his bedroom shelf, this project is particularly exciting to me," Guggenheim shared. « It’s been a while since I had the chance to work with other writers on a crossover event and I’m truly enjoying the collaboration. Marvel has such a rich roster of antagonists and it’s a huge amount of fun to not only give them their time to shine but also add a new villain to their ranks — Sister Sorrow — who is every bit as dangerous and formidable as these classic villains. »

« Marvel broke the mold with supervillains, pushing them past the archetypical to the complex and some even morally gray but still to be feared, » Editor Mark Paniccia added. « Each of these one-shots are an opportunity for fans to see what makes these villains some of the most dangerous characters in the Marvel Universe. »

Tiens, un truc anecdotique mais sympa.

Cool !

Ah, bof.

Lee Bermejo :

Marvel Comics releases Bring on the Bad Guys: Doom #1 on Wednesday, and you can get yourself a sneak peek at the issue below with the official preview…

THE BALANCE OF POWER IS FOREVER CHANGED! An ancient artifact known as the SOUL FORGE has the power to collect all the souls on Earth! Doctor Doom must stop it at all costs! Who is the mysterious Sister Sorrow, and what is her connection to Doom?

Pleinement dispensable. Alors que tout Marvel vit au rythme du contexte One World Under Doom, Marc Guggenheim lance une série de one-shots où des super-vilains sont concernés par une intrigue mystique, avec Dr Doom en premier et sans lien avec l’événement précité. L’on voit ainsi Doom qui apprend d’un espion qu’une mystérieuse Sister Sorrow cherche des dagues mystiques, liées à The Forge of Souls, artefact ancien formé par des Sorciers rebelles et tués par Mephisto qui voulait utiliser la forge pour dominer le monde. Mais sa précipitation lui a fait perdre l’opportunité, et les dagues peuvent la raviver. Doom confronte Sister Sorrow, qui a récupéré une dague de l’Abomination et se révèle être une « enfant » d’un Mephisto qui récupère la dague grâce à elle et prépare la suite.
Et c’est pas désagréable mais pas intéressant. Marc Guggenheim livre un scénario correct, efficace, avec un Doom solide, mais un ensemble déjà vu et un Mephisto moyen. Stefano Raffaele livre des dessins travaillés bien qu’un peu figés.

Ça ne vend pas du rêve et ça s’oublie vite.
