Honor Guest was the world’s deadliest assassin, until she traded it all for a chance at a “normal” life in the suburbs, free from the constant death and destruction. But as her former life comes back to haunt her, Honor must strip away her suburban persona and protect her family as THE SILENCER.[/quote]
Début de la publication prévue (pour le moment) pour septembre.
THE SILENCER #1
Written by DAN ABNETT
Art and cover by JOHN ROMITA JR. and SANDRA HOPE
“CODE OF HONOR” part one! She’s one of the DC Universe’s deadliest assassins…and you’ve never heard of her. Super-strong, highly trained, armed with devastating and stealthy meta-human abilities, the Silencer is virtually invincible. Or at least she was. After decades as Leviathan’s chief assassin, Honor Guest put in her time and managed to get out with her skin intact. Now she lives a normal life with a normal family in a normal house on a normal street. But the past has come back to haunt her in the form of her old employer and a deadly new mission…and Talia Al Ghul won’t take no for an answer.

“CODE OF HONOR” part one! She’s one of the DC Universe’s deadliest assassins…and you’ve never heard of her. Super-strong, highly trained, armed with devastating and stealthy meta-human abilities, the Silencer is virtually invincible. Or at least she was. After decades as Leviathan’s chief assassin, Honor Guest put in her time and managed to get out with her skin intact. Now she lives a normal life with a normal family in a normal house on a normal street. But the past has come back to haunt her in the form of her old employer and a deadly new mission…and Talia Al Ghul won’t take no for an answer.
Alors c’est rigolo mais le personnage me fait clairement penser à Vernita Green, alias Copperhead dans Kill Bill.
Et ça n’a pas loupé car on reprend ce personnage de film sans la scène d’anthologie de combat dans la maison de Copperhead.
Je crois que ça résume bien Silencer. C’est direct, efficace, pas trop moche pour du Romita actuel. ça pointe juste tout en intégrant la continuité du prologue de Métal (on parle d’une case entre talia et Batman en même temps).
The world’s deadliest assassin thought she was out…but the past won’t let her leave! Talia al Ghul’s violent disappearance has led to a mystery that could cost Honor Guest the lives of her family, and to defend those she loves, Honor must once again don the mantle of the Silencer! Seeking information from the neutral ground of the assassin’s armory, Silencer gets more than she bargained for as the most monstrous forces of the underworld descend for the kill!

“CODE OF HONOR” part three! All Honor Guest, a.k.a. the Silencer, wanted was a little peace and quiet with her family. But as she puts the keys into the ignition of a military-grade tank to survive the complete and total destruction of the cybernetically augmented gang war erupting around her, she can’t help but think…what went wrong? Find out for yourself in the finale of the inaugural story arc of the Silencer!

C’est encore un autre problème de la course à l’échalote qu’est devenu le marché : on annonce la sortie des séries post-Metal, et on met des vedettes (genre Ivan Reis), puis aussitôt après, on annonce la sortie du Man of Steel de Bendis, et on met des vedettes (genre Ivan Reis)… Dans un mois ou deux, on va faire une grosse annonce, et on mettra des vedettes (genre Ivan Reis ?).
Ça me semble contre-productif : ça fragilise les séries récentes, ça réduit les dessinateurs au rôle d’illustrateurs interchangeables, et ça dénote un certain mépris du lectorat.
“PAYBACK TIME” part one! The Silencer has been targeted by every hit man, meta-mobster and weapons-depot dropout that the Leviathan organization has to offer—now it’s time for Honor Guest to take the fight back to them! Too bad Deathstroke has other plans. Silencer squares off against Slade Wilson as we kick off a brand-new epic! And this duo’s devastating past run-in will leave you speechless!
