WALLER vs WILDSTORM #1-3 (Spencer Ackerman, Evan Narcisse / Jesus Merino)

DC continue de fêter le trentième anniversaire de l’univers Wildstorm avec l’annonce d’une mini-série hors-continuité qui sera publiée sous la bannière Black Label.

Le premier numéro de Waller vs Wildstorm, par Spencer Ackerman, Evan Narcisse et Eric Battle, sortira en novembre.

WALLER VS. WILDSTORM # 1
In the early 1980s, as the Cold War stubbornly refuses to thaw, a new battle heats up…for the soul of the intelligence agency Checkmate. As the agency’s super-heroic public face, Jackson King—a.k.a. The armored Battalion, former leader of Stormwatch and the symbol of American might—has long suspected that Adeline Kane is up to dirty tricks overseas, engineering horrors that betray everything he believes about service to one’s country. But King doesn’t know that Kane has a clever new ally—an ambitious young woman named Amanda Waller. She has her own ideas about how metahumans can serve their country. And honor, dignity, and long lives don’t factor into them… National-security reporter Spencer Ackerman (The Daily Beast, Reign of Terror), comics and video game writer Evan Narcisse (Black Panther, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Batman: Gotham Knights - Gilded City), and veteran artist Eric Battle (Aquaman, Kobalt) celebrate WildStorm’s legacy of espionage-flavored superhero morality plays, pitting Stormwatch against the deadliest people in the DCU—including Deathstroke himself!

La couverture variante du #1 par Eric Battle :

Mais pourquoi ?

Mais pourquoi ?

Jim

Son dessin, c’est sa bataille, Jim!

Fort dommage cet aspect hors continuité. La boss des black-ops DC contrr WildStorm, univers fondé sur ce type de personnages, c’est une bonne idée.

Ça a été publié ça, finalement ?

Repoussé au mois de mars.

Ah.

Merci.

Au format Prestige Plus…

Mais pourquoi ?

D ici là, ce sera peut-être in continuity, l univers wildstorm donnant l impression d etre au coeur de pas mal d intrigues de dc l année prochaine.

D’après les sollicitations, le dessinateur a changé. Ce sera Jesus Merino à la place de Eric Battle.

Ouf.

Jim

On y croit ?

Ça se tente mais c’est dommage de le faire hors continuité.

Parfois, c est le contraire.

Bah je trouve que le glisser en continuité n’aurait pas affaibli le récit, au contraire.

Si ça marche bien, c est toujours possible dans l après coup.

Ça se passe dans les années 80.
