ONCE UPON A TIME AT THE END OF THE WORLD #1-13 (Jason Aaron / collectif)

[Marko]

BOOM! and Jason Aaron team up for ‘Once Upon a Time at the End of the World’ #1

La maison d’édition Boom! continue d’attirer les talents (continuant ainsi à faire de l’ombre à Image), mettant cette fois-ci le grappin sur le nouveau creator-owned de Jason Aaron (actuellement à l’oeuvre sur une maxi-série Punisher et sa fin de run sur Avengers), décrit comme une de ses oeuvres les plus ambitieuses (une romance en pleine fin du Monde est au programme). Un titre prévu sous la forme d’une triptyque, avec un dessinateur différent à chaque numéro (dont les noms n’ont pas été révélés).

Aaron : « This is the story of two lost kids who find each other at the very end of days. Like if Wes Anderson had directed ‘Road Warrior.’ But that’s only the beginning of their journey of survival and of the world’s last great love story. »

A Week in the Life of a Comic Book Writer

"As announced at San Diego Comic Con, I’m getting to work with the legendary artist Bryan Hitch for the very first time on the Alpha issue of AVENGERS ASSEMBLE, a massive multi-issue saga that represents the culmination of years’ worth of stories and serves to unite the AVENGERS, AVENGERS FOREVER and the AVENGERS 1,000,000 B.C. in one cataclysmic showdown. I’m pulling a whole bunch of threads into my final AVENGERS epic, leaving no character or crazy idea unexploded. And man, what a thrill to be working with Bryan. This is as gorgeous an oversized, prehistoric slugfest as Marvel has ever seen.

“Avengers Assemble.” Say the words like a prayer. And hope it will save you."

Merci. Je n’avais pas vu passer l’info.

S’il peut enfin se remettre à Southern Basterds et The Goddamned, ça fera quelques heureux je présume (moi le premier).

A Wasteland of Horrors in ONCE UPON A TIME AT THE END OF THE WORLD #2

Discover Postapocalyptic Peril from NYT Bestselling Writer & All-Star Artists Starting in December 2022

BOOM! Studios revealed today a first look at ONCE UPON A TIME AT THE END OF THE WORLD #2, an epic post-apocalyptic series from Eisner and Harvey Award winner and New York Times bestselling writer Jason Aaron (Thor, The Avengers, Southern Bastard), artist Alexandre Tefengki (The Good Asian) with colorist Lee Loughridge and letterer AndWorld Design, about a love story at the end of the world that’s brutal and nostalgic, whimsical and grounded… and ultimately, timeless.

Jason Aaron and Alexandre Tefenkgi’s fable of a bleak future continues in Maceo and Mezzy’s childhood years, with nothing but Mezzy’s guidebook and her skills as a wastelander to get them through their dangerous, post-apocalyptic journey. As time passes and they endure the horrors of plastic tornadoes and frozen sludge, Maceo proves to be more than just a burden, and they make a connection where none seemed possible at first. But to their unexpected peril, they might not be as alone as they thought…

Newfound Freedoms

« For the first time since 2008 or so, I’m not bound by any sort of exclusive agreement with Marvel Comics. My deal was up late last year, and while I remain very happy with my relationship with Marvel and have been talking with them about another project, I chose not to renew my exclusive. With my run on AVENGERS wrapping up and me wanting to step away from ongoing work-for-hire series commitments for the moment, after a 15 year run of one ongoing after another, it seemed like the right time to spread my wings a bit. So now I find myself enjoying a sort of freedom I haven’t had in a very long time, able to pursue whatever creative opportunities I so choose. And I’ve already been busy pursuing a few. Some creator-owned, some work-for-hire. The division of my workload and my time has already shifted, as I’m placing more of an emphasis on new creator-owned work, while also looking to tackle some brand new work-for-hire challenges. In short, as I said, it’s an exciting time, a fun-as-fuck time, you might say, and I can’t wait to tell you more about what all I’ve been up to, as soon as I can. »

How long can their little piece of paradise last?

A secluded suburban community is the last thing Maceo and Mezzy expected to find, especially one so well-preserved and packed with everything one would need to thrive in the wasteland.

As more people come to reside in this settlement called Golgonooza, it flourishes, and becomes a home for Mezzy and Maceo, just as they become home to each other.

However, the wasteland won’t feel satisfied with being shut out for long…
