L’éditeur DC Comics a perdu les droits d’exploitations de Doc Savage au profit de Dynamite Entertainment. En charge des nouvelles aventures de l’Homme de Bronze, l’éditeur a fait appel au prolifique Chris Roberson (The Shadow, Codename Action) qui s’est déjà illustré sur les personnages dits « pulp » avec la maxi-série Masks.
Pour son premier arc en collaboration avec la dessinatrice Bilquis Evely, Roberson développe une histoire en huit chapitres qui partira de la première apparition publique de Doc Savage en 1933 jusqu’à notre époque. Il y expliquera ce qui est arrivé à l’aventurier après le dernier archivage périodique de ses enquêtes à la fin des années 1940. Il reviendra notamment sur le cabinet pour criminels où le héros « soignait » ses ennemis de leur pulsion maléfique afin qu’ils ne viennent plus inquiéter le statu quo.
Sortie du premier numéro prévue pour décembre 2013.
Ci-dessous, les couvertures des deux premiers numéros par Alex Ross:

Cette VF est un bonheur ! [/quote]
En VO, le film est tout de même nettement moins catastrophique.
Y a des tas de films qui sont redoublés, mais celui-ci, il mériterait un redoublage correct.

C’est sûr qu’en plus d’entendre Grosminet, ce doublage (cette espèce de cheveu sur la langue) va à l’encontre de ce qu’est Doc Savage : l’incarnation de la perfection.

With his team of able associates at their headquarters high atop the tallest building in the world, Doc Savage is tireless in his pursuit of knowledge and justice. Writer Chris Roberson brings Doc Savage from 1933 through to today. And with “Easter eggs” along the way that will help pave the future of Doc, in a story only Chris (Roberson) could tell.[/quote]

J’ai lu les deux premiers numéros est c’est plutôt pas mal, **Roberson **remet notamment sur le devant de la scène le principal aspect de la personnalité de Doc Savage voulu par ses créateurs (Ralston, **Nanovic ** et Dent) : le scientifique.

FINAL ISSUE!!! More than eight decades after his adventures began, Doc Savage might finally be facing a threat that he cannot overcome. Everything he has built over the years, everything he has accomplished, could be undone in a single, terrible moment. And that fact that his own inventions and discoveries are to blame only makes matters worse.[/quote]
