Après Tom Taylor et Jeff Lemire, c’est au tour de Declan Shalvey d’écrire un nouveau one-shotImmortal Hulk (et il s’occupe aussi de la partie graphique).
Every morning, Bruce Banner wakes up in a new place. The Hulk is trying to tell him something — but Bruce has had enough of his green-veined alter. When a new gamma-powered villain shows up in a small New Mexico town, Bruce is forced to confront the source of his anger…and it’s nothing that fans will expect.
« What Al Ewing and Joe Bennett have accomplished with IMMORTAL HULK is astounding. I love how the book has given the character a new twist that has expanded what can be done with (and said about the) character. To get to play in this particular sandbox with this one-shot is such a thrill, it’s a great challenge as a storyteller, to add to this new mythology as both a writer and artist. Big, Hulk-sized boots to fill, I hope it lives up to the great work already accomplished by the IMMORTAL HULK team. »
Description: Declan Shalvey writes and draws an Immortal hulk tale that gets to the heart of gamma! Every morning, Bruce Banner wakes up in a new place. The Hulk is trying to tell him something - but Bruce has had enough of his green-veined alters. When a new gamma-powered villain shows up in a small New Mexico town, Bruce is forced to confront the source of his anger… and it’s not what you expect.
Des one-shots Immortal Hulk, celui-ci est sûrement mon préféré et le plus intense et impressionnant.
Declan Shalvey livre des planches superbes, pleines de puissance et de grâce. J’adore, je suis complètement fan, et le dessin rejoint habilement un scénario malin, qui gère bien l’opposition Bruce/Devil Hulk avec l’irruption d’une ancienne mentor Gamma de Banner.
C’est bon, c’est simple mais réussi, et c’est malin et touchant sur plusieurs aspects. Et je le répète, c’est juste magnifique.
