Je viens de lire le premier TPB, intitulé « No Hope ».
Bon, c’est complètement bourrin, et le dessin de Strahm n’est pas réellement enthousiasmant, même s’il a une narration pas trop mauvaise.
En gros, imaginez un monde où des bestioles comme dans The Thing de Carpenter se sont répandus dans la pampa. Dans une zone infestée et en quarantaine (dont la circonférence n’est pas définie, mais il est clair qu’il y a un « ailleurs » pas contaminé), un guerrier solitaire du nom de No recueille une gamine appelée Hope. Ensemble, ils vont essayer de survivre.
Outre le film de Carpenter, Spread emprunte aussi à Lone Wolf & Cub et à l’esthétique post-apo pré Mad Max (à savoir, des gens qui marchent et qui s’entre-tuent, pas des gens qui roulent et qui s’entre-tuent).
Sur le principe, c’est pas si mal, mais les dialogues de Jordan sont minimalistes (pour No, c’est normal, mais pour les autres, ça se justifie moins), la voix off est répétitive, recourant à des effets assez lourds, et dans l’ensemble, même si ça se lit vite, c’est un peu pataud.
Bref, une série B sans sel. Moins pire que ce à quoi je m’attendais, mais pas terrible quand même.
Description: "Outside,†Part One. Lamb has a mission. He’s come to the quarantine zone with one goal: find Hope and rescue her. Jack and Molly might have something to say about this.
