WILDSTORM : MICHAEL CRAY #1-12 (Hill , Ellis / Harris, Vines)

Après The Wild Storm, la deuxième série du nouveau label Wildstorm supervisé par Warrren Ellis sera consacrée à l’homme anciennement connu sous le nom de Deathblow, Michael Cray.

Ce titre prévu en 12 épisodes est écrit par Bryan Hill, avec la collaboration de Warren Ellis. La partie graphique a été confiée à N. Steven Harris et Dexter Vines. Et dans le premier épisode, la cible de l’assassin professionnel sera…Oliver Queen !

Warren Ellis’ critically acclaimed relaunch of WildStorm gets its first solo spinoff series! Michael Cray, professional assassin, has been betrayed by International Operations and has an alien life-form in his head that’s either killing him, transforming him, or both. The only thing that can bring sense to his life is for him to do what he does best: kill the wrong people for the right reasons. But Michael needs support and resources to hit back against I.O., and he gets them in exchange for working with Trelane, taking out her targets, his way. First up? A sociopathic silicon-valley billionaire by the name of Oliver Queen!

C’est marrant mais j’ai l’impression que ça marche pas si bien ce reboot de wildstorm, ai-je tort ?

Je n’en sais trop rien. Ce que je sais c’est que la série mère est vraiment bien gaulée.
Ce que je sais aussi c’est que Michael Cray est une arnaque aussi bien pour l’histoire (le personnage principal dégomme de vulgaires copies des héros DC à la manière d’une série TV où à chaque semaine correspond son méchant).

En ce qui concerne le dessin, c’est franchement mauvais.

Ouki

Là, c’est juste pas possible!

Depuis cinq et maintenant six mensuels, Bryan Hill écrit le même scénario. Michael Cray doit tuer un membre de la Justice League. Green Arrow, Flash et maintenant Aquaman, qui est le prochain? Un certain sorcier britannique.

Sur le principe, je ne suis pas contre si seulement c’était fun, tiré à quatre épingles, avec des twists improbables et déroutants! Et puis, imaginez, si l’auteur réfléchissait à un éventuel intérêt pour le lecteur de suivre cette série…

Imaginez cela, juste une seconde… le temps pour Bryan Hill d’écrire un script de 22 pages sur ce personnage…

ZZZZzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzz…

Et dire que chez Auchan, ils vendent ça en rouleaux de six.
