Il y a certains auteurs qui ne changent pas tellement de crémerie lors de Rebirth. C’est le cas des scénaristes Amanda Conner et Jimmy Palmiotti qui relanceront le titre Harley Quinn sous la forme d’un bimensuel.
Au dessin, les lecteurs retrouveront Chad Hardin ainsi que John Timms. Ce dernier aura eu le temps d’aller s’amuser sur la série indépendante Delete du même Palmiotti en collaboration avec son confrère Justin Gray.
Le premier arc de la nouvelle série Harley Quinn devrait voir débarquer plus de vedettes de l’univers DC Comics, héros de Gotham ou pas. Il débutera en août.
A noter que Amanda Conner a aussi signé le contrat d’exclusivité de DC Comics.

[quote=« Palmiotti »]It’s fun, because we were watching the « Suicide Squad » trailer and the Harley we see is very, very reminiscent of what we did. She’s dangerous, but she’s also kind of fun and goofy. She speaks to herself, and we have her do a lot of that in the book too, although, in the book, she talks to her beaver, and that’s pretty much her talking to herself. [Laughs]
To make a character stand up on her own, we really need to build up her personality and push it forward. She’s a really smart person and a really strong woman, she’s got multiple personalities and is really dangerous. [Laughs] I think that’s the idea – when you are reading comics, and you know everything that the character is going to do, it makes it kind of a boring read. Harley never does what you think she is going to do, and I think that keeps the book fresh. [/quote]

Les deux derniers numéros d’Harley Quinn - les 5 & 6 donc - proposent dans leurs pages un personnage que pour ma part je découvre ; Red Tool.
Parodie évidente de Deadpool (le populaire personnage de Marvel), qui lui-même selon des sources proche de l’enquête, serait une parodie de Deathstroke (personnage de DC Comics, en passe de devenir lui aussi célèbre grâce à Ben Affleck).
Outre donc, les multiples déclinaisons d’un même concept, Red Tool est doté via l’équipe créative qui l’anime, d’une particularité qui utilise ce que seule la BD peut proposer.
J’aime bien quand, par exemple avec l’Incredible Hercules de Pak & Van Lente, on utilise à fond ce qui distingue la BD des autres média ; ici ce sont les bulles du personnage en question :
Avec, bien entendu une préférence pour celles représentant des outils (tool en anglais = outil).
