Aaah, il a cédé aux chants du ciné.
Bon, je me regarderai ces films pendant les pauses midi à défaut de lire ses bd, on perd au change.
Y’a un goût d’Océan Two dans cette lecture. Effectivement, ça n’avance pas des masses mais c’est très amusant à lire. J’aime beaucoup la fille de Jade et de Roy Harper qui se mêle des conversations entre les deux copines.
Et puis, c’est chouette de revoir du Klarion.
C’est très sympa. J’espère déjà qu’il y aura une suite dans les cartons.

Greg Rucka revient sur ses expériences passées chez DC :
Siuntres mentioned that DC Comics was republishing the 2008 War Of The Supermen comics book event ahead of the Supergirl movie, which saw writers Greg Rucka, James Robinson and Sterling Gates working together. Or not. Greg Rucka says;
« That was me at my absolute lowest at DC. That was in the deep end when everybody was lying to me, using me, betraying me, abusing me. My relationship with James was a bad one. He was writing whatever he wanted. We were not collaborating well. Collaborating with Sterling was great—literally was the best thing about that period. But it was just a repeated kick between the legs. »
He elaborated, talking about DC Comics executives, former Publisher Dan DiDio and former CCO Geoff Johns.
« It was toxic when I was there and remained toxic until Dan DiDio left. It was an abusive, manipulative environment. Geoff Johns was an incredibly manipulative person to me – used me, lied to me, played me off against people. DiDio did the same thing. I was made promises repeatedly, and they were always broken. When I left in 2009, I was mentally ill. I was severely depressed, suicidal. I nearly took my life. And that’s all the direct result of the way I was treated from 2006 through 2009, it was done with malice. The people I’m speaking about are bad actors. I’m not in a place where I will ever defend them again. They did what they did with malice of forethought. »
Greg Rucka returned to DC Comics for Wonder Woman and DC Rebirth in 2016, and again with Brian Bendis’ Wonder Comics in 2019. He recalled;
« When they came to me in 2016, they were on their knees, saying, « We have a Wonder Woman movie coming out, and we’ve forked the character into a cocked hat » … « screwed the pooch. » They said, « We need to get it fixed. We want you to do it. What will it take? » I gave them a list of demands, made them put it in writing, which is how you got me back in 2016. At the end of that first year, they said « well, we’re going to do it again, we want you to keep going », and I said « this isn’t sustainable. And I told you I could only do it for a year ». So that’s when I walked away. In 2019, I came back because Brian Bendis and Matt Fraction were coming in, and there was an intention we’d work together. And when I came in at that point, I was told, « We don’t need to make guarantees because we’ve proven we’ll do what we said. » Like an idiot, I said, « Okay, » and they proceeded to fork me… So when that ended, I walked away. They came back a couple of times, but I stayed away. »
So what changed?
« June of last year at Heroes Con, an editor whose name escapes me, came by and said, « Cully [Hamner] said I should talk to you. Are you willing to talk? » I said, « I’m always willing to talk. » Word got back that the door was open. So Rob Levin called me and said, « Here’s what we’re doing. » He poured enough poison in my ear about the Cheetah and Cheshire thing to make me go, « Ooh, now I’m intrigued. » We had a serious conversation. I said, « I’ve had bad experiences. I’m not going to do that again, I’m not going to go back to that. » He said, « I know what you’re talking about, and I know what you are describing, and that’s not us now. » When I was there, literally, editorial groups were at war with each other. That’s not on the editors, that’s from the top down, that’s from the COO and that’s from Dan. They didn’t allowing it to happen, they made it happen. »« I’m going to be perfectly honest. It’s a different company right now. The people there—it’s healthy… Rob made it clear to me, he said « it’s different now. Editorial gets along and we communicate ». And I said, « All right, well, I’ll believe that when I see that, but I’m happy to talk. » And then I got to see it. And Rob is absolutely correct. There are three group editors that I am in communication with, and they talk to each other so much it’s almost a problem, right? It creates an environment where that’s putting out somne of the best stuff DC’s done in the last 10 to 15 years… It’s a positive environment. People are working together, and they’re not working in fear, they’re collaborating… I’ve never written anything that couldn’t benefit from another set of eyes. I want to be able to talk to an editor and be able to say, « This is what I’m thinking. I’m not sure if this works. » And have them say, « Okay, I don’t think it does work, but have you thought about this? » I am working with three separate editors at DC right now. All of them have been terrific. The last time I was able to work with editors who were that good was in 2016 when I was able to pick the editors I was working with. And before that, I got to go back frankly to Denny’s [Dennis Oneill] bat group. And that’s not to say the editors that I worked with, for instance, on Gotham Central, Matt Idleson, Nachie Castro, were bad people or bad editors. They were great at their jobs. But the environment was growing more and more toxic crazy. »
"I’ve really come to a place where I’m like, « Oh, no. I can see I can see what was done. » And I can see now the truth of it. And I can see also some common denominators of things. There are certain things that I have realized about people who I was working for and working with who were very careful about hiding it about themselves… I’ve had a lot of realizations in the last year, and some of them have been like, « Oh, oh, this person was an anti-semite from the start. this person didn’t like me because I was a Jew… I’m not interested in protecting anybody’s legacy anymore. I’m just not. I’m not. »
Wow.
Hé bé.

En gros ?
Environnement toxique, promesses non tenues, collaborations stériles…

Du classique, quoi.
Et antisémitisme
Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League #3
(W) Greg Rucka (A) Nicola Scott
With the crew assembled, Cheetah and Cheshire’s plan kicks into high gear. The only problem? If they can’t figure out how to gain access to the world’s most secure facility, the heist could be off before it even begins. As team dynamics continue to evolve, it would be a shame if anything went Sideways…
Ça ne raconte pas grand chose mais c’est fort charmant. Greg Rucka réunit son équipe au Maroc, chacun se présente, les interactions se forment alors que le plan est précisé. Elles identifient une faille dans la Watchtower dans les entretiens réguliers réalisés par Ferris Aircraft. Elles obtiennent un accès et préparent une avancée, avec notamment Lian (qui semble s’amuser de tout ça) qui aide à voler le téléphone du jeune Sideways bien naïf, et Klarion envoyé chez les Big Bads magiques pour une mission secrète.
C’est bien, oui. C’est un bon récit d’ambiance, une lente montée en puissance sympathique avec le crush de Klarion, le jeu de Lian, le charme de Cheshire et le reste. C’est sympathique car inoffensif bien que bien intégré à la continuité, et c’est formidablement dessiné par Nicola Scott.
Très beau, très doux, très charmant bien que très lent.
Je me demande s’il n’y aura pas une série derrière les événements à venir. Ca trame quelque chose. En tout cas, je l’espère!

Ca je prendrais en tpb ou vf
T’y crois en VF? Si la série n’a aucun impact, je ne miserai pas dessus.
Mais je peux me tromper. Clin d’oeil joueur.
Du rucka, ca vend peut-être ? “Par le scénariste de lazarus”.
Mouais…
J’ai de gros doutes.
Ça peut plus se vendre la beauté et le sexy des dessins.
Cheshire and Cheetah have a secret plan to rob the Justice League and — Oh rats! We almost gave it away!
Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League #4
Writer: Greg Rucka
Artist: Nicola Scott
Release Date: November 5, 2025
Bon lancement de casse après un apparent schisme dans le groupe. Cheshire refuse que Cheetah soit celle qui arrive via le téléporteur de la JL car Diana sera de garde, et Barbara s’en va alors que tout est prêt. Lian prend sa place, les diversions sur Terre et dans le vaisseau de rations sont lancées et le casse commence… mais Cheetah est là et croise Diana…
C’est bien. Greg Rucka tient bien ses personnages et sa bande de « petits » qui tentent un gros truc, et ça se lit bien. Ça reste lent, c’est très joli via les dessins de Nicola Scott mais c’est agréable.
Charmant et joli, lent mais prenant.

Ca parle beaucoup quand même.
Je reste curieux de la suite car on y est là, dans le satellite de la JL!
Et pas qu’un peu.
