DC a officialisé la suite de The Nice House by the Lake, une maxi-série en 12 numéros à nouveau orchestrée par James Tynion IV et Alvaro Martinez Bueno.
La publication de The Nice House by the Sea débutera en juillet 2024.
« The new comic is described as a « second cycle » that, just like the first story, will also be 12 issues with a break in the middle. It once again brings together 10 people, although this time they are all true strangers and, in a twist, they are at the house by choice. This group — comprising the Doctor, the Writer, the Historian, the Actor, the Artist, the Priest, the Scientist, the Singer, the Politician and the Mathematician — are ready to be the last humans. Or so they believe. And once again, there is an alien bringing the group together, this time a woman named Max, all under the roof of a luxurious villa along the Mediterranean Sea. »
Dommage que ce ne soit pas une suite direct, j’aurais espéré des réponses aux mystères encore présent à la fin de TNHOTL. Là on part plutôt sur une histoire parallèle….
Même si cela promet d’être aussi passionnant que le 1e cycle, je suis aussi un peu déçue que cela ne soit pas la suite de ce que nous avons déjà découvert.
J’imagine qu’on va avoir d’autres pièces du puzzle, qu’en recoupant les infos des deux séries on commencera à y voir plus clair, avant une conclusion plus généreuse en réponses ? (sous forme de réunion des personnages des deux précédentes, ou de nouveau point de vue à nouveau ?)
C’est effectivement très bien fait. Et le dessin est stratosphérique.
Cela dit, entre le mystère entretenu par un jeu constant de nouvelles questions qui s’entassent et l’insertion de documents exogènes (listes, notes manuscrites, échanges de textos et même schémas…), l’ensemble donne l’impression de lire une adaptation de Lost écrite par Jonathan Hickman. Le sentiment d’escroquerie prétentieuse est quand même diablement présent, renforcé par cette « suite » qui montre clairement que la sauce va être diluée à l’infini.
No one who was invited to the House knew Max — but she knew each and every one of them. Masters of their fields, titans of industry and knowledge, they all represented the best and brightest of humanity.
So when Max whispered to each of them the truth of what they deserved — to be saved from disaster, to carry on the flame of civilization in a paradise built just for them — they all leaped at the chance.
Why not? Why shouldn’t they be the ones to live forever? Isn’t it their destiny to survive the culling of the lesser herd? Wouldn’t being named the future of humanity be… nice?
