So far, Silencer’s family vacation gets zero stars on review websites, and things are only looking worse from here on out. Silencer races to stop Talia al Ghul’s loyalists from reviving her in a Lazarus Pit, but she’s got TWO heavy hitters on her tail: meta-hitman Quietus and mystical psycho Wishbone, who’s about to unleash some body-swapping shenanigans on everyone involved with this caper. And are you ready for a trip to Action Land, the Superman theme park? “Hell-iday Road” starts here!

cover by TYLER KIRKHAM
Silencer visits Gotham City, but she’s not there to see the sights—she’s there to shut down Talia al Ghul’s latest secret weapons plant. Obviously, this brings her into conflict with Batman—but there’s a secret history to Bruce Wayne and the Silencer that complicates everything! Will Batman slap the cuffs on this metahuman hit woman—or will one of Batman’s rogues get the drop on them both for the mysterious Leviathan organization?

Deux derniers épisodes très réussis et bien tenus par Dan Abnett qui a l’air de s’éclater. Il a encore beaucoup de choses à explorer, me semble-t-il. J’espère juste que la série va durer avec un peu de stabilité artistique.

The Silencer #9

(W) Dan Abnett (A) Patrick Zircher, Mike Spicer (CA) Jonathan Glapion, Viktor Bogdanovic
Is there anything worse than a family vacation? Your spouse grouses, the kids complain, rest-stop food is gross-to make things worse, Silencer finds not one, but TWO deadly assassins on her tail! Talia al Ghul is in desperate need of a Lazarus Pit bath, and to get one she needs her top assassin Wishbone to throw Silencer off the trail! Problem is, Silencer isn’t the only one on the hunt. Her rival Quietus needs Talia out of the picture, and the whole thing devolves into a mind-bending shootout at the amusement park, where Silencer’s hubby and kiddie get caught in the crossfire. That’s it-next year it’s a « staycation »!

The Silencer #10

The Silencer finds herself in a deadly showdown with a pair of killers—Quietus and Gunn—as well as a giant kaiju monster at a Superman theme park! (No refunds given, park-goers.) If she can shoot her way out of that trouble, she’ll still have to track down Talia’s body before Leviathan can resurrect her. Of course, them being a secret evil criminal organization and all, they’ll probably have backup plans inside of contingencies wrapped up in their true motivations. At any rate, someone’s getting their soul eaten whether they like it or not!

The Silencer better get a snowplow guy on the horn quick, or she’ll “Die Another Snow Day” in part one of this new epic!

The first year of the series builds to this, so expect all the loose ends to get tied up. As the Leviathan War approaches its fateful conclusion, Talia’s true goal stands revealed—and it means bad news for everyone in THIS Multiverse. And when a blizzard cripples South Carolina, Talia takes advantage of the snow job to put her plans into place. Can Silencer put this scheme on ice, or will she get a fatal dose of frostbite instead?

Je pense que je préférerai m’allonger la nuit dans la neige et attendre une mort froide que de dessiner une autre simple histoire de super-héros.
Je crois que j’ai atteint une certaine limite. Je ne peux plus dessiner ça. Je veux faire quelque chose dont je suis fier.

Après presque trente ans de carrière, Patrick Zircher commence à saturer. Et tout est venu d’une énième modification demandée par son responsable éditorial sur la série Silencer.

Avant et après la modif’ :

DuNcBvmUcAApF0v-2-600x427

A tale of two Supermans; the first Superman is how I originally presented him, the 2nd after multiple editorial requests.
I knew I was in trouble.
I wanted to present a ‹ sensitivity › and a Chris Reeve-ish look.
The revision is much more in line with standard superhero fare.

Furthermore, that’s close to an entire page redraw, in an attempt to have me draw like another artist.
I have never had to do that before.

I was at Marvel 17 years. I had to do corrections on about 6 pages in seventeen years.
At DC, I had to do more than 100 corrections in 4 years.

La suite ici (et sur le twitter du dessinateur) :

Je le verrais bien faire du franco-belge.

Ou revenir chez Marvel

Quelle bande de chieurs…

Le coup de gueule est hyper intéressant, en tout cas. Quand on pense que Jim Lee était un dessinateur, ça laisse songeur.

En lisant ses tweets, il se lâche bien sur Silencer et il a bien raison. C’est parti dans un délire dernièrement peu compréhensible alors que le côté underground était bien adapté. Dommage.

Get ready for the big finale of the Leviathan War! The Silencer finds herself smack dab in the middle of a melee full of murderous underbosses while trying to protect her family and punch all the tickets she came to punch. Even if Honor Guest survives, nothing will ever be the same again.

C’est ce qu’il a fait. Depuis cette histoire, Patrick Zircher est revenu chez Marvel et il travaille actuellement sur une histoire (arc ou simple épisode, ce n’est pas encore précisé) pour les nouveaux comics de Conan

Excellente nouvelle

The Silencer is once more the weapon of Leviathan–and Talia al Ghul has seen to it that she can never escape again. As her family grieves her loss as one of the many missing and presumed-dead civilians of the Action Land massacre, Honor Guest is seemingly unconcerned and focused solely on her new mission for Talia. But is Honor really ready to let go? Or is the game of cat and mouse between the Silencer and Talia far from over? Plus: not one but two shocking revelations rock everyone’s world.

Can the ultimate Leviathan assassin stop a deranged and vengeful version of herself from annihilating everything the Silencer holds dear?
