JLA/DOOM PATROL SPECIAL #1
Steve Orlando & Gerard Way (w) • ACO (a)
Cover: Frank Quitely
The Doom Patrol has discovered that an interdimensional corporation called Retconn has been stealing stories, reconfiguring them and repackaging them for new markets. Our gang of misfit heroes have felt the touch of this nefarious company, and it has already started to change them. Even scarier, though, is how deeply Retconn has embedded itself into current continuity, using the radioactive milk of psychic cows to quell the more dangerous impulses of the Justice League and turn them into heroes safe for the masses. And to kick this off, Retconn has gone all the way to the top.
Meet Milkman Man, heretofore unknown final son of Krypton, who was sent to our planet to save him from the destruction of his homeworld, only to be adopted by an evil dairy farmer and raised to love all things dairy!
Plus, who is Eternity Girl, and how does she connect to this whole scheme? A special four-part back-up feature by Magdalene Visaggio (Kim and Kim) and Sonny Liew (The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye) begins here.
This extra-sized special starts “Milk Wars” with a splash!

Suite directe du dernier Doom Patrol, ce crossover se révèle très bien fait et surtout évite la sempiternelle bataille entre héros…
La réalité a « bougé » et la Doom Patrol doit comprendre pourquoi!
A la lecture, difficile de la « Guerre des Mamelles » en cours de route tant les derniers épisodes de DP sont importants pour bien comprendre certaines fils rouges. En revanche, cela me semble moins barré que le titre phare du label de Gerald Way et donc plus accessible finalement…

C’est beaucoup moins flamboyant que le premier et surtout moins explosif!
Jody Houser est moins corrosive dans son écriture. Son personnage de Violet semble perdue malgré une assurance naturelle que l’on pouvait appréciée lors de la première saison. Ici, Violet démasque la supercherie sans panache.
Allez on pardonnera pour cette fois. Vivement le prochain,

Gros, gros, gros, très gros épisode sur ce retconn du DC Young Animal’s universe.
Si certains épisodes ne sont pas faciles de lecture (le Wonder Wife m’a piqué les yeux), les deux épisodes centraux (les crossovers écrits par Orlando et Way) forment une aventure dingue, sincère et assez critique sur le puritanisme US quant au développement des comics (l’image du lait est évidente), etc… que l’on pardonnera bien des raccourcis, des cases surchargées de dessins etc…
Ce label YA de Way me plaît par ce côté culture parallèle et pas contre culture comme j’ai pu lire.
Les séries sont malheureusement retconnées (sale habitude…).
Même si certaines arrivaient au bout de leur cycle (Shade notamment) il n’en reste pas moins que l’avenir est devant nous!
