Que se passe-t-il quand le destin du monde repose entre les mains de la pire des personnes ? Ernie Ray Clementine est The Scumbag (l’enflure, le connard…) et il est (hélas) le seul espoir de l’humanité face à l’Armageddon !
The Scumbag est la nouvelle série de Rick Remender. La partie graphique sera confiée à un dessinateur différent par épisode. Le premier est Lewis Larosa et pour les suivants sont déjà annoncés Andrew Robinson, Eric Powell, Tula Lotay, Wes Craig, Roland Boschi, Simone Di Meo, Duncan Fegredo, Yanick Paquette, Mike McKone et Dave Johnson.
La première issue pose plutôt bien l’ambiance et les bases. Et puis Larosa quoi…
C’est raffraichissant sans être une révolution du style quoi. C’est surtout drôle, j’ai hâte de voir comment ça va évoluer.
