THE UNNAMED’S REDCOAT IS JUST GETTING STARTED! It is 1892! The year of Coca-Cola, the first public basketball game, and Lizzie Borden picking up an axe! It’s also the year that immortal mercenary and former British Revolutionary War soldier Simon Pure finds himself the target of a mysterious cult. One that seems to know everything about him. And now Simon must do something he’s never done before—accept help. Help in the form of the most unlikely of allies: a 12-year-old Albert Einstein obsessed with unlocking the secrets to Simon’s magic!
Hitch est au top de son art. C’est beau, ça bouge bien, curieux de voir comment Johns va développer son concept.
Par contre, comme dans pas mal d’autres comic books, je suis toujours en colère quand je vois que les acteurs d’une série (pencilers, encreurs, coloristes, scénaristes, éditeur) laissent passer ce genre de résultat hideux.
C’est dommage de porter autant de soin à un titre et de valider ce genre d’horreurs.
On retrouve cela très souvent chez Hitch lorsqu’on a l’oeil comme toi, Fred! 
Sinon tu penses que c’est du solide sur la durée, cette histoire?
Tu expliquerais ?
La raison que ça passe au travers ? Peut-être parce que plus personne fait son taff d’éditor comme il le devrait ? Le manque de temps parce les deadlines sont déjà passées depuis un bail ?
JrJr chez DC, avec son passage sur Superman, y a eu des moments gueules cassées de ce genre.
Mais les yeux qui louchent, après encrage ou couleurs, ça arrive souvent.
Non, le pourquoi ça ne devrait pas.
Qu est ce qui est si choquand dans ce dessin ?
La colorisation de l’œil droit qui place une touche de chair au coin de l’œil. Ça pète complètement le regard en coin, non ?
C’est encore pire sur le papier en miniature…
Aaaaaahhh
Je n y avais pas fait attention.
