Domino, la mercenaire mutante capable d’affecter les probabilités, fera ses débuts sur grand écran cette année dans Deadpool 2. Et Marvel va profiter de l’occasion pour lancer le premier titre solo consacré à la création de Fabian Nicieza et Rob Liefeld.
La scénariste de ce nouveau mensuel sera Gail Simone (Secret Six, Birds of Prey, Wonder Woman, Batgirl…), dont le dernier travail régulier chez Marvel remonte à 2003 et la série Agent X.
Gail Simone : “My favorite characters are always the unpredictable ones, and with Domino, you literally never know which way the dice are going to roll. I love her, and I can’t wait to show her best bad side!”
Le nom du dessinateur n’a pas encore été révélé.
Ci-dessous, la couverture du #1 signée Greg Land :
Décidément, on est en pleine nostalgie des années 90 depuis quelques mois. Ceci dit, je ne connais rien d’autre du personnage que ce que tu en dis, mais ce genre de concept confié à Gail Simone, j’ai envie d’y croire.
Faudra voir ce qu"elle apporte (en espérant qu’elle ne fasse pas comme tous, à savoir repartir sur points de ses origines … et si c’est ce cas, il pourrait bien y avoir un retour de la madre). Il existe déjà deux (au moins) mini-séries sur le perso !
Deux, oui…dont une toujours inédite en V.F… Là, ce sera la première série mensuelle en solo pour Domino, en dehors de ses apparitions dans les séries d’équipe…
