Neal Adams, l’homme qui a popularisé Deadman dans les années 60, écrit et scénarise une nouvelle mini-série en 6 épisodes qui verra Boston Brand enquêter sur son assassinat, en compagnie de Batman, Zatanna, le Phantom Stranger, le Dr Fate et le Spectre.
“Journey into Death” part one! When we last left Deadman, the true story had barely begun! Deadman’s death was unsolved, and his fate was intertwined with that of his parents and siblings. Even the Dark Night Detective couldn’t solve the mysteries of Boston Brand’s fantastic secrets! Now, Batman is back, confronting Deadman about who was really behind his death. Was Boston Brand’s assassination a test for the League of Assassins? Why does Batman think Ra’s al Ghul was involved? And why does Deadman need the help of Zatanna, Phantom Stranger, Dr. Fate and the Spectre to defend Nanda Parbat?

Oui et non. C’est un personnage méconnu, donc le risque est que le public boude, mais cela lui offrira un peu de liberté, moins de contrôle qu’avec Batman.

Ah tiens, son X-Men, il doit être dans des piles quelque part. Faut que je le trouve.
Ça fait quelques années que je ne suis plus fan de son boulot. J’adore ses X-Men et Avengers d’il y a cinquante ans (purée, dit comme ça…), j’aime beaucoup ses explorations visuelles chez DC, mais à partir de sa période Continuity, je trouve son travail assez caricatural, voire un brin vulgaire.
Mais force est de reconnaître qu’il s’est stabilisé, depuis, et qu’il ne baisse que très rarement de régime. Il y a une qualité constante assez impressionnante pour l’âge du monsieur, soixante-seize ans.
Je l’ai trouvé à pas cher, mais je sais pas où il est (ça fait des semaines que je repousse une grosse après-midi de rangement, histoire d’y voir un peu plus clair).
Ouais, mais après, ça va m’obliger à acheter les premiers numéros !
(et je n’avais pas encore déménagé, donc imagine la tête de madame qui m’a vu revenir avec un comic book que je n’avais même pas payé : « on va jamais s’en sortir ?! »)
Ah, j’ai retrouvé le bouquin : en fait, je le trouvais pas parce qu’il était… déjà rangé !
Bon, j’ai commencé à lire, c’est pas mal, mais Adams a torché, que ce soit au niveau du dessin ou de la narration.
Je reviendrai en parler dans la section Marvel.

Hold the cover of DEADMAN #2 up to the light and the danger that was invisible seconds before will be revealed! Now, any lingering doubt that Deadman was deliberately murdered in cold blood, and not as a test for the Hook to join the League of Assassins, is put to rest once and for all!

The Spectre, Etrigan the Demon and the Phantom Stranger smell death around Deadman—and they’ve come to get a whiff! But they’re about to learn how little they know—because the secrets they seek are actually held in the mind of Deadman’s father…and those secrets lie very close to a near-death experience.

From behind the scenes rises “He Who Is Always There,” Ra’s al Ghul, the very worst option before or after the death of Boston Brand. No path, no future will remain uncorrupted as long as Ra’s al Ghul remains alive. Deadman would be better off if he halted his quest before death is the best of two options.
