C’est un peu la même rengaine, ce « DC Pride » annuel. Majoritairement, la qualité des histoires n’est pas dithyrambique. C’est même le parent pauvre du titre, aucune, vraiment aucune histoire (sauf une) ne m’a accroché.
Il y a bien cet hommage en prose de Neil Gaiman pour Rachel Pollack, décédée tout récemment. On apprend d’ailleurs que DC l’avait sollicitée pour écrire un segment.
Sauf une, donc, c’est bien sûr, celle en preview ci-dessus, c’est l’histoire imaginée par Grant Morrison. Pour plusieurs raisons, y’a de la consistance, du concept morrisien, des designs fous dangereux et une belle histoire d’Amour… le tout bien narré. Et parce que Multiversity est un terrain de jeux énorme!
Mais surtout, le Maitre a laissé trainer un petit « To be continued. » avec trois petits points de suspension, qui me fait plaisir…
