THE FLASH #30-52 (Venditti, Van Jensen / Brett Booth)

L’éditeur DC Comics a enfin dévoilé l’équipe créative qui s’occupera de la série « The Flash » après le départ de Francis Manapul et Brian Buccelato. Il s’agit des scénaristes Robert Venditt****i et Van Jensen, actuellement à l’œuvre sur la série « Green Lantern Corps ». Ils seront accompagnés du dessinateur Brett Booth.

Dès leur premier mois sur la série, les trois auteurs ré-introduiront le personnage de Wally West (plus connu comme le deuxième Flash de DC Comics avant le New 52) via un 3ème « Annual » de la série.

« Flash #30 », premier numéro de leur « marathon », sortira en avril 2014. Ci-dessous, les couvertures de « The Flash: Annual #3 » et « The Flash #30 ».

[quote=« Robert Venditti »]From a very young age, one of the first things you want to be able to do is run fast," the writer says. "You don’t want to fly, you don’t want to have a ring that makes constructs out of light. It’s just a simple, basic thing: ‹ I want to be able to run fast. ›

"It’s ingrained in our DNA, and here’s a character that lives that out.[/quote]

Brett Booth ?
Purée, le choc est rude.

Là, je suis un petit peu bouleversé…

Passer de Manapul à Brett Booth…Pfff…

C’est se prendre un mur à grande vitesse ! :mrgreen:

[size=150]INTERVIEW DU DESSINATEUR BRETT BOOTH[/size]

[quote=« Robert Venditti »]We’re definitely going to be using the procedural elements of Barry working the crime lab a lot. That’s one of the great strengths that Van brings to his writing, his background and experience working as a crime reporter. So we’re definitely going to lean into that.

And I would say there’s also going to be middle-America elements to what we’re writing, trying to focus on Central City, especially in the wake of Forever Evil. This was one of the cities that was hit hardest by that event.

The first arc is going to be a really important arc for Barry and his character, in terms of his power set, and in terms of how we expand the supporting cast, introducing new villains, using pre-existing villains, and all sorts of things.[/quote]

Ah, un épisode qui s’intitule « Slip », voilà qui devrait plaire à Nikolavitch.

[quote] Then on top of that, Wally coming from a background where he’s somewhat estranged from his father, which is in keeping with original Wally continuity — you know, he really looked up to his Uncle Daniel, who the Flash ended up putting in prison.

So in some ways, Wally’s the 12-year-old kid who’s had a bit of a rough go, and he’s trying to cope with it as best as he can, and he’s sort of lashing out in this way, almost like a form of protest against the Flash.[/quote]

Je suis en train de bouquiner la reprise par Venditti et Jensen, et c’est plutôt pas mal. Un Flash du futur qui répare ses erreurs, un Flash du présent qui se retrouve pris dans les rets de la famille West, une enquête qui met en avant la jugeote de Barry Allen… Le tout me semble un peu inspiré de la période Mark Waid (que je considère comme sans doute la meilleure contribution au personnage), et s’inscrit totalement dans la tradition de la série (les Rogues, les voyages dans le temps…).
C’est plutôt très agréable à lire, dynamique, plein d’idées (notamment, plein de vilains nouveaux). Le seul gros défaut, c’est Brett Booth, qui fait son possible et qui bosse avec honnêteté (et qui tient le rythme, ce qui devient rare de nos jours), mais qui dessine hélas comme un pied. Les décors sont ridicules, les personnages sont inexpressifs… Avec un bon dessinateur, ça ressemblerait à une excellente période.
Si Brett Booth ne vous fait pas trop saigner les yeux, tentez le coup, c’est super agréable.

Out of time! The Flash is trapped in a bizarre, lost land terrorized by castaways from the past, present, and future. But that leaves Central City without a hero…or does it?[/quote]
