Toujours a la recherche de nouvelles techniques de narration, le scénariste Warren Ellis lance Scatterlands sur son blog, un nouveau WebComics en format 16:9 au rythme une case par jour (à contrario de Freak Angels avec une page par semaine) en hommage aux strips publiés dans les vieux journaux.
Une narration plus “serrée”, plus nerveuse qui nait de la réflexion de Warren Ellis et du dessinateur Jason Howard (Super Dinosaur) sur l’évolution du média; notamment dû au lancement de la plateforme Thrillbent (Mark Waid et l’effet Turbomédia), à la manière d’appréhender la lecture “digitale” et au SpaceGirl de Travis Charest.

[quote=“Warren Ellis”]So I’d been talking about newspaper strips, and an idea that amused me: to lay a daily single-panel strip down on the website. I mean, I’d been talking about various options, but that one did kind of make me smile. And then Jason Howard, a frequent collaborator with Robert Kirkman, emailed and said “I could fancy that.” So we got to talking, and discovered that certain musics and certain kinds of science fiction were mutual pleasures, guilty and otherwise. And we came up with SCATTERLANDS. A largely improvised comic strip that will run here Mondays to Fridays, one panel a day. We’ll take a short break every four or five weeks, at which point we’ll run a digest of that block of panels somewhere or other (we have no serious plans in this direction beyond the intent, and are basically making shit up as we go along). But here they will be daily and free.
Just a bit of fun, as they say.
(So much so that I’m tempted to do a second and bookend each weekday with a panel.)
And with some terrific cartooning by Jason, whom I suspect will regularly surprise the people who believe they know his work.[/quote]
