Description: So Snow White is finally getting an arc of Fables named after her? That’s too bad, since it always means the title character is about to be put through the ringer. And she has to go through these trials and tribulations alone, because Bigby is off learning to drive (which leads to its own harrowing implications). But she’s made of pretty stern stuff, our Snow, and she’s never been a wilting flower in the face of adversity, so let’s see what she’s made of.[/quote]
Pas de sujet sur le one shot WEREWOLVES OF THE HEARTLAND semble t-il (pas plus que sur Fairest?), mais bon, vu la GROSSE déception qu’a été la lecture de cette aventure solo de Bigby, je ne prends pas la peine d’en ouvrir un. Si -quand?- vous le lirez, je serais curieux d’avoir des avis, et, en attendant, voilà toujours de quoi écouter avec camarades bédéphiles mélomanes:

Ruthless Prince Brandish locks one of Fables’ beloved princesses in a tower with no way out.

This interlude issue takes place in Bigby Wolf’s favorite hunting forest, which is the Platonic ideal of the deep dark woods. In fact, it’s so perfect in every detail, it can’t possibly exist in real life. Rather, what we should have said is, it can’t possibly exist in this life. But it would fit nicely as a heaven for wolves in the afterlife. And so it is.[/quote]
Une bonne et une mauvaise nouvelle à la fois en ce qui me concerne ; la bonne c’est de savoir que c’est planifié à l’avance, la bonne c’est aussi que j’aime bien que les histoires se terminent, d’une manière ou d’une autre.
La mauvaise c’est bien sûr que **Fables **est l’une de mes séries favorites, une série qui a su me surprendre avec la révélation concernant l’Ennemi (la première idée de **Willigham ** était moins bonne, c’est à cause de contraintes extérieures qu’il dû se rabattre sur une autre idée, celle que nous connaissons) et surtout **Fables **a su se renouveler constamment.
**Bill Willigham ** a même réussi à introduire le concept de super-héros dans sa série, avec notamment une chouette idée sur un type de personnage.
Non finalement c’est plutôt une bonne nouvelle pour moi, il me reste pas mal de numéros avant d’arriver au 150, je viens de renouer avec The Unwritten et j’attends d’ailleurs impatiemment d’arriver au *crossover *des deux séries .
Et puis je suis assez de l’avis d’Alan Moore qui dit quelque chose à propos de l’essence du héros, comme quoi c’est sa fin qui donne son sens à toute sa vie (idée que l’on peut extrapoler à une série de comics), et si Willigham pense comme Moore on peut peut-être s’attendre à une grande bataille de dimension cosmogonique.
(la première idée de **Willigham ** était moins bonne, c’est à cause de contraintes extérieures qu’il dû se rabattre sur une autre idée, celle que nous connaissons)
tu peux nous en dire plus ?[/quote]
Oui, bien sûr.
Dans un entretien pour Comic Box en 2009 Willigham explique que dés sa plus tendre enfance il a entretenu un rapport de frousse avec un personnage de conte et que celui-ci, dés le départ devait être l’Adversaire (**Willigham **voulait certainement réglés ses comptes ), mais que des problèmes de droits en Europe (le personnage fait partie du domaine public aux U.S.A mais pas en Europe) auraient surgi.
Il s’est donc rabattu sur une autre idée qu’il trouve d’ailleurs bien meilleurs et bien plus originale, celle que nous connaissons.
Pour ma part je suis bien de son avis.
