Sa première longue série Vertigo Sweet Tooth étant sur le point de se terminer en décembre, Jeff Lemire (Animal Man, Justice League Dark) annonce déjà pour 2013 un nouveau projet de maxi-série de science-fiction en tant qu’auteur complet.
Trillium racontera l’histoire d’amour improbable entre Nina Temesmith, une botaniste qui effectue des recherches sur d’étranges formes de vie végétales découvertes sur une station spatiale abandonnée en 3797, et l’explorateur William Pike qui part à la recherche d’un temple Inca perdu en 1921. Romance et voyages dans le temps seront au menu des dix épisodes de Trillium.
En juin, l’éditeur Vertigo débutera la publication de la nouvelle mini-série en 8 numéros entièrement réalisée par l’artiste Jeff Lemire (Sweet Tooth, Trinity War).
Trillium raconte l’histoire d’une femme de l’an 3797 et d’un homme de 1921 qui tombent amoureux; une simple relation qui va détruire l’univers.

It’s the year 3797, and botanist Nika Temsmith is researching a strange species on a remote science station near the outermost rim of colonized space. It’s the year 1921, and renowned English explorer William Pike leads an expedition into the dense jungles of Peru in search of the fabled “Lost Temple of the Incas,” an elusive sanctuary said to have strange healing properties. Two disparate souls separated by thousands of years and hundreds of millions of miles. Yet they will fall in love and, as a result, bring about the end of the universe. Even though reality is unraveling all around them, nothing can pull them apart. This isn’t just a love story; It’s the LAST love story ever told.
Trillium is an 8-issue series that combines rich historical adventure and mind-bending science fiction into a sprawling, unconventional love story by Jeff Lemire (SWEET TOOTH, GREEN ARROW, ANIMAL MAN).[/quote]

Pas moi, si le concept est original (retourner le bouquin pour lire les deux histoires qui se rejoignent), j’ai trouvé ca un peu bavard, et puis j’ai vraiment du mal avec le style graphique de Lemire.
