Après X-Files: Season 10, le scénariste Joe Harris se chargera d’adapter une autre série du créateur Chris Carter au format comics: Millenium.
Diffusée entre 1996 et 1999, la série racontait les enquêtes d’un ancien agent du F.B.I., Frank Black, qui utilisait ses talents paranormaux pour voir à travers les yeux des assassins.
Comme pour X-Files, Carter supervisera cette « 4ème saison » dont le premier numéro acueillera une invité de marque: l’agent Fox Mulder. Quant à la partie graphique, elle a été confiée au dessinateur Colin Lorimer.
[quote=« Joe Harris »]In « The X-Files » episode « Millennium, » we saw Frank stuck in an institution following his harrowing ordeal with the Group, his own losses, and the weight his psychic powers placed on him day after day, case after case. Agents Mulder and Scully solicited his help in stopping a necromancer with Millennium Group connections from triggering the end of the world. The cataclysm was halted. The year 1999 flipped over to 2000 and life went on.
Or did it?
That’s one of the driving elements of this series. We’ll learn that this catastrophic « Millennium Event » everyone was counting down toward during the show did, in fact, take place at the turn of the new century. It’s just been simmering in the background, fucking with the world and steering it toward the apocalypse all along. Now it’s gathering steam, and only Frank can stop it.[/quote]
Ah, Frank Black…super personnage, excellent acteur et très bonne série (même si au fil des saisons, j’ai trouvé qu’elle se perdait un peu trop souvent dans sa propre mythologie)…
