DEADLY CLASS #1-43 (Rick Remender / Wes Craig)

[Jack]

Pour son deuxième comics sous la bannière Image Comics, Rick Remender (Black Science) s’associe au dessinateur Wes Craig avec Deadly Class. L’histoire s’inspire librement de la jeunesse Punk/Rock du scénariste. Il y mélange son obsession pour les assassins professionnels (Uncanny X-Force) avec un autre projet sur la jeunesse américaine à l’époque du président Reagan (initialement intitulé Reagan Youth).

Deadly Class s’intéresse à Marcus et ses camarades de classe formés à devenir les plus grands assassins du monde. Si la série débute en 1987, chaque arc verra les élèves évoluer dans leurs études jusqu’au diplôme… Pour ceux qui y survivent.

@Rick Remender

More than focusing on what kind of assassins, they’re kids from all over the world and all walks of life. There are few that are the children of Stalin’s #1 assassin. There are people from the Japanese crime syndicates, from the UK, from Europe, Brazil, Mexico and the States – not only are these kids taken from every single corner of the world, but they’re all representational of different themes from the era. You’ve got a Yugoslavian girl who’s super into the Goth theme. She’s down with Sisters of Mercy and Dead Can Dance. You’ve got all these different characters with unique backgrounds, but it’s also an exploration of the scenes I was surrounded by and a part of growing up in the mid-'80s.

Story by Rick Remender
Art by Wesley Craig
Colors by Lee Loughridge
Cover by Wesley Craig, Lee Loughridge, Jonathan Wayshak
Publisher Image Comics
Cover Price: $3.50
Release Date January, 2014
It’s 1987. Marcus Lopez hates school. His grades suck. He has no money. The jocks are hassling his friends. He can’t focus in class, his mind constantly drifting to the stunning girl in the front row and the Dag Nasty show he has tickets to. But the jocks are the children of Joseph Stalin’s top assassin, the teachers are members of an ancient league of assassins, the class he’s failing is “Dismemberment 101” and his crush, member of the most notorious crime syndicate in Japan, has a double-digit body count. Welcome to the most brutal high school on earth, where the world’s top crime families send the next generation of assassins to be trained. Murder is an art. Killing is a craft. At King’s Dominion high school for the deadly arts, the dagger in your back isn’t always metaphorical, nor is your fellow classmates poison.
Join writer RICK REMENDER with rising star WESLEY CRAIG (BATMAN) and legendary colorist LEE LOUGHRIDGE (FEAR AGENT), to reminisce the mid’s 1980?s underground through the eyes of the most damaged and dangerous teenagers on Earth.[/quote]

I’m basing all of the characters on people or amalgams of people that I knew so that it doesn’t seem that it’s a cut out of, “Here’s a yuppie with his collar up! His parents are rich and he’s an ******* who likes cocaine!” I didn’t know that guy, so I’m not writing that guy. I did know a pious punk rocker who was an exclusionary dick who didn’t seem to embrace what I thought punk rock was about. I did know a goth girl who was promiscuous and a little broken. I did know a hip-hop kid who I became friends when we discovered that everything we loved about punk rock and hip-hop kind of came from the same place. I did know some people that were completely scene-less and didn’t choose a costume or scene to fall into. And of course as a high school student – I grew up in Phoenix – I did know a lot of alpha jocks with giant necks, who were quintessential boring ********.

[quote=“Wes Craig”]Well, we own this – which means we can do whatever we want. We entertained all options at first, then narrowed it down to what worked best – logo, school designs, the look for the coloring and lettering, etc. Creating your own world up-front can be very time consuming, but in the end, it’s one of the most rewarding aspects of a creator-owned book.

More specifically, I used borderless panels on a “Batman” comic I did with Lee, and Rick really liked that and asked me to keep it. The look of the action sequence in the book came out of experiments I’d been doing in my sketchbooks,trying to show motion in comic book form. Which is tough – 'cause y’know, those things don’t move.[/quote]

[quote=“Wes Craig”] I love drawing Marcus, he’s not as visually striking as, say, Saya or Maria, but he’s got a lot going on internally that’s an interesting challenge to show through his expressions and posture,

Master Lin is small and craggy and I love drawing those kinds of characters, especially in contrast to all the smooth young people. [laughs]

And I love drawing Saya- because she’s just cool.[/quote]
