Après avoir officié pendant près d’un an sur la dernière série en date, le scénariste Ben Percy relance Green Arrow à l’occasion de Rebirth sous la forme d’un bimensuel.
[quote]Green Arrow is a social justice warrior. Green Arrow has his finger on the pulse of the moment. We’re channeling the zeitgeist. If you’ve been reading the newspapers over the past few months, you’ve encountered headlines that we have considered filtering into — slanted versions of — into the series.
And the thing that I’ve struggled with, since taking Green Arrow over, is his billionaire status. This is a Robin Hood figure. And the pull quote from the trade, without question, will be, « How can you fight the man if you are the man? »
That’s a question that Black Canary poses to him.
Green Arrow has lost his fortune before, but this will be the first time that he’s complicit in that loss.[/quote]
Ah c’est pas mal. Je ne connais pas le travail de ce dessinateur, mais j’aime bien ses effets de matière. C’est un peu trop lâché parfois, mais ça ne manque pas de vie.
Ouais, c’est sympa.
À voir sur la durée, mais j’aime bien. De même que ses recherches témoignent d’une grande vigueur, mais aussi d’une évidente capacité à synthétiser.

Together again for the first time, the Emerald Archer meets Black Canary. Questioning everything Green Arrow believes in, Dinah Lance throws the hero’s world upside down, forcing him to question what he cares about more: his morals or his money?
BULL’S-EYE: “Readers are aching for the reunion of Green Arrow and Black Canary, and we’re finally going to give it to them.” says writer Benjamin Percy. “Also returning? Green Arrow’s goatee.”

"THE DEATH AND LIFE OF OLIVER QUEEN" chapter one
As Oliver struggles with how he can fight "the man" when his huge fortune makes him the man, he and Black Canary uncover a deadly new threat to Seattle that cuts the Archer to the bone.
THEY SAID IT: "My touchstones are [former GA writers] Dennis O'Neil and Mike Grell, while trying to make the series my own," says writer Benjamin Percy. "Green Arrow will be a politically and culturally relevant series. Expect stories that aim a broadhead into the zeitgeist, that are ripped from the headlines."

[quote=« Hush »]Excuse-moi pour le délai de ma réponse!!!
Je pensais bêtement que tu n’étais pas fan ce type de dessin.
Un peu anguleux mais pas franc.[/quote]
J’aime bien. J’aime pas tout, mais j’apprécie la sécheresse et la nervosité. Le dessin semble solide et expressif. Ça conserve un côté cartoony sans être réellement mignon. Ça tient la route sur quelques pages. À voir sur la durée d’une série.

A la lecture du troisième épisode, j’ai une nette préférence graphique pour le cuisiniste. Par que je déteste Ferryra mais le style de « Das Otto » redonne une seconde jeunesse à l’Archer d’Emeraude.
Concernant l’histoire, Ben Percy donne l’impression de ne pas vraiment prendre de risque. Ce début d’arc ressemble beaucoup au run de Lemire en ce sens (trahison chez les Industries Queen, la famille etc…).
A voir sur la durée et surtout comment Black Canary va reprendre les choses en main.

Il est vraiment difficile pour moi de se projeter dans cette série qui ne valorise pas ses enjeux. L’ambiance est terne depuis l’arrivée de Juan Ferreyra, dont je ne suis pas un grand fan sur ce titre (autant sur un titre d’épouvante, why not?) mais là… il ne tient pas la distance avec Otto S.
Et là, on voit bien que le scénariste ne tient pas la distance sur la bi-mensualité du titre.
Description: « Sins of the Mother »! Following the shocking events with the Ninth Circle, Green Arrow’s wayward sister/sidekick Emiko travels to Japan on a quest to destroy the crime lords who control her mother, Shado, the assassin who murdered Oliver Queen.
