Le scénariste Jason Latour collaborera avec l’artiste Enis Cisic sur l’Annual de la saga Original Sin. Ils raconteront l’histoire de Woodrow McCord, aventurier et ancien protecteur de la planète Terre avant que le titre n’échoue à Nick Fury lors de la mort du premier.
Original Sin Annual sortira en novembre avec une couverture régulière de Francesco Francavilla et une couverture variante de Christian Ward.
La couverture de Francavilla nous montre des créatures composé d’un vague corps conique cachant (ou pas) des tentacules et surmonté d’un globe (oculaire, en l’occurrence). Ces êtres évoque sans problème ceux que Lovecraft nous décrit dans The Shadow out of time.
Celle de Christian Ward renvoie à plusieurs références : les aventuriers spatiaux, mais aussi John Carter. Je suis presque sûr d’ailleurs d’avoir vu cette composition et cette attitude ailleurs, je suis convaincu que c’est un hommage direct, sauf que je vois pas à quoi, là tout de suite.
Bon, après, c’est normal que ça fasse penser à Fear Agent : cette série est le plus récent hommage de grande ampleur aux pulps et à la « SF àpapa ».
[quote]Obviously there’s the genre, a sort of EC comics-esque pulp vibe that we haven’t seen a lot of in the Marvel U. But moreover, I liked that McCord was very much a blank slate. All we know about the man is his job and how he died. And though those two things speak volumes, there was still clearly a great opportunity to get in there and flesh him out and in some ways see how his history might serve as a warning for the men and women who follow in his shoes; to take a look at how the ripples created by the things he’s done still impact the Marvel U to this day…]
Well, we’ll see a few different eras. The furthest back we touch is around the end of the 19th Century and a pretty famous, full-on alien invasion. We’ll get to meet McCord’s predecessor and learn the secret history behind his job. But most of our story will take place as McCord is sort of coming of age and stepping into the role in the 1940s. Just as our world is going to war, McCord is going to war with other worlds.[/quote]
[quote=« Enis Cisic »]Absolutely, I am very excited to work on this incredible piece! I wanted to visually explore the design of a new Marvel hero whose roots are in the same vintage stuff that I grew up with as a kid. Also, there is lot of alien world scenery, which is always fun for me to draw.
It would be hard for me to refer to a specific part of the Marvel Universe because there are so many amazing things that I would like to work on and include in my art.[/quote]
