Premier TPB : lu et approuvé !
Ca commence très bien, cette série.
Une entrée en matière sanglante et très efficace, qui permet d’apprécier les capacités physiques impressionnantes du personnage principal, avant une plongée tendue comme un arc dans cette dystopie où les maîtres mots sont richesse, familles…et coup de poignards dans le dos.
Encore un bon boulot de caractérisation de la part de Greg Rucka qui avance ses pions avec minutie, dose ses révélations et fait bien monter la tension jusqu’à un quatrième épisode explosif.
Et avec les dessins de Michael Lark, ses personnages expressifs, son découpage limpide et sa maîtrise des ambiances, c’est un plaisir pour les mirettes.

Toujours très beau ce que produit Lark : son découpage est un modèle de fluidité, c’est très simple et efficace. Par ailleurs, je trouve que l’encrage de la série a retrouvé de la qualité après quelques épisodes un peu plus inégaux : j’avais lu sur sa page FB que Lark cherchait un encreur car ses collaborateurs habituels étaient partis sur d’autres projets, mais cette preview est rassurante.

J’ai lu le premier TPB. Plus par curiosité qu’autre chose (je suis pas toujours très fan de Rucka, en fait).
Hé bien j’ai trouvé ça très bon. Bien rythmé, avec des dialogues laconiques mais qui cognent bien, une sacrée ambiance, une vision du futur qui emprunte aux catastrophes environnementales de l’imaginaire seventies et aux délires techno-pharmaceutiques du cyberpunk, bref, un bon mix, et une narration au poil.
Ça envoie plein d’infos, ça ouvre plein de pistes, je lirai la suite avec plus d’enthousiasme et d’impatience.
