THE OCCULTIST #1-5 (Tim Seeley / Mike Norton)

[Jack]

En octobre, le scénariste Tim Seeley et le dessinateur Mike Norton (Revival)) lanceront la deuxième mini-série The Occultist chez Dark Horse.
Ayant survécu aux mages-assassins et au démon Swordbreaker, l’occultiste doit maintenant déchiffrer le livre de l’épée; un grimoire qui détient les clés de sa survie.

When the Sword, a mysterious book of powerful spells, binds itself to him, the fact that Rob’s life has been falling apart doesn’t seem like such a big deal. To survive, Rob must learn to control the book’s unpredictable magic, while his life slips even further out of control…

An evil witch doctor wants the Sword to reject Rob, now known as the Occultist, by deciding that he is a bad host in the ongoing war against the realm of the dead. The solution lies in a Catholic schoolgirl who dabbles in death for a quick high.

Yeah. We had the opportunity to do our own « Year One » in the actual first year the book was coming out. It was a superhero origin for the Occultist as a character within the first trade. Now, this new series is him with some experience, though he’s still mostly a novice occult superhero. The first series was a naive guy stumbling into crazy stuff, and the reader was just dragged along with him. This new series is that second stage. It’s the temptation that the power he has would cause anyone. It’s more mature, and by « mature, » I don’t mean that there are boobs and rape in the book. It’s a more considered way of dealing with the idea of seemingly unlimited power that comes at a cost. What would that do to someone trying to make his way in a post college world?

Rob is studying with his mentor, James Charles (who is really his arch-nemesis, Aiden Beck in disguise), attempting to better control the power of The Sword, and assisting local detective, Anna Melendez on « paranormal » crimes.
