MIDNIGHTER & APOLLO #1-6 (Steve Orlando / Fernando Blanco)

Ceux qui ont remarqué l’absence des héros du label Wildstorm lors des annonces liées à Rebirth seront heureux d’apprendre que l’un des plus célèbres couples de méta-humains, Midnighter & Apollo, les « Batman et Superman homosexuels », seront de retour dans leur propre chez DC Comics.

Aux manettes, les lecteurs retrouveront le scénariste Steve Orlando, déjà à l’origine de la (courte) série consacrée au Midnighter. L’auteur travaillera pour l’occasion avec le dessinateur Fernando Blanco tandis que son ancien partenaire, l’artiste ACO, est en charge des couvertures.

Midnighter & Apollo #1 sort en octobre.

[quote] “MIDNIGHTER AND APOLLO is the book we need right now, as comics’ most iconic queer couple face down a new enemy and show us that we can never give in to fear, hatred, and evil,” says Orlando. « And they do it with their own brand of action movie wit… and punching. I won’t just deliver fans the much-anticipated return of Apollo. I’ll also feature the Lords of the Gun and the iconic Mawzir from DC’s seminal Hitman, as well as Underworld Unleashed’s Neron. And that’s just the beginning. It’s a knockdown, drag out, DC Universe western revenge thriller that starts kicking from page one! »

MIDNIGHTER AND APOLLO #1 debuts October 5th, 2016. Final order cutoff at your local comic book store is Monday September 12th. [/quote]

Le choix de mettre Fernando Blanco à la place de l’excellent ACO est payant. On y retrouve une continuité graphique qui m’est très agréable.

On retrouve cette série "made in action " que j’ai tellement aimé lors de la période DCYou avec ses scrollings mettant en scène le véloce Midnighter. Pour casser un peu de sure sur la série, je dirai qu’Appolo semble en retrait par rapport au Midnighter.

Mais je ne bouderai mon plaisir pour rien au monde.

Apollo’s in Hell, and the only weapon that can kill his captor has been destroyed! Does

Midnighter have a plan? Why are you even asking that question?

Midnighter always knew that one day he would have to face the Devil himself to answer for all the people he’s killed here on Earth…and that day is today! It’s a bare-knuckle brawl between Midnighter and Neron for the soul of Apollo![/quote]

Fin de la mini série sur les deux amoureux du Wildstormverse.

J’ai trouvé que la série patinait pendant les trois derniers épisodes en enfer. Dans la première série, Orlando faisait voyager Midnighter à travers diverses portes et là, il sédentarise son intrigue en enfer.

je ne suis pas convaincu par cette mini. Peut-être aurait-il du centrer une nouvelle fois son attention nerveuse sur Midnighter?

Par contre niveau dessin, Fernando Blanco fait plaisir et n’a presque rien à envier à ACO.
