In Hellblazer: Rise and Fall, a new three-issue mini-series by Tom Taylor and Darick Robertson launching this September, a billionaire mysteriously falls out of the sky and is gruesomely skewered on a church spire. Even stranger, they have angel wings attached to their back. More bodies soon follow, raining death and causing widespread panic. Detective Aisha Bukhari is stumped by the phenomenon, until she's visited by her childhood friend, occult investigator John Constantine.

Shut up, take my money !

C'est du Black Label mais pas du Sandman Presents ?

[scarletneedle]

Ca sera peut-être précisé quand la couverture aura les crédits en incrustation et donc avec le cartouche propre au Sandman Universe...

[Tony LETROUVÉ]

On sait quel sera le format ?

[scarletneedle]

3 numéros.

Je crois qu'il ne faut pas se leurrer, il est probable que DC commence à doucement préparer la fin du Sandman Universe.
Avec Books of Magic qui s'arrête, Lucifer qui est stoppé en version papier avant de s'arrêter sans doute définitivement, The Dreaming qui est relancé avec un nouveau numéro 1, on commence à sentir que les perspectives ne sont pas très bonnes.
Il y aura peut-être pendant un certain temps une certaine forme d'acharnement thérapeutique, mais Hellblazer et Constantine pourraient à mon avis assez rapidement rester les seuls survivants.
Ceci dit, si c'est pour avoir du Constantine par Taylor et Robertson, en ce qui me concerne, ils peuvent très bien laisser crever le titre.
Heureusement qu'en face il y a pour l'instant Spurrier…

Je ne vais pas me prononcer sur Taylor que je connais trop peu. Mais les planches de Robertson ne m'emballent guère.

Taylor est un bon storyteller, pas de temps mort. Je le mettrais dans une école Nicieza/Hama/DeFalco, pas la prétention d'écrire des chefs-d'oeuvre mais d'être entertainer. De All-New Wolverine à Suicide Squad, il a cette patte des auteurs qui aiment et connaissent leurs persos. Contrairement à Zen Arcade, je suis hyper client de l'annonce de sa collaboration avec Robertson sur Contantine.

On September 1, writer Tom Taylor (DCeased, Injustice, Suicide Squad) and artist Darick Robertson (The Boys) team up for a miniseries featuring DC’s spell-slinging anti-hero, and here’s your first look!

This 3-issue DC Black Label miniseries (content appropriate for ages 17+) ships bimonthly, and reunites Taylor and Robertson together for the first time since their collaboration on the September 2019 DCeased: A Good Day to Die one-shot.

“There's a time when you need a hero, and there's a time when you need a bastard,” says Taylor. “When you're fighting an alien invasion or a giant robot monkey, sure, you want someone with a cape and a reassuring smile, but when you're fighting something messier, something with more shades of grey, something that's clawed its way in, then you want a magician with a trenchcoat and a smug smirk.” “As a Hellblazer fan and as a Darick Roberston fan, I couldn't be more excited by this book. Putting Darick and John on the same page? Well, it's bloody magic.”

A billionaire falls out of the sky and is gruesomely skewered on a church spire. Bizarrely, Angel Wings are attached to his back. More follow until, hallelujah, it's raining businessmen. Detective Aisha Bukhari is stumped by this, until she's visited by her childhood friend, occult investigator John Constantine.

DC’s Hellblazer discovers a link between the falling elite and a shocking moment in his and Aisha’s misspent youth. How do these killings tie to the first death on John's hands? How does this involve heaven and hell? Even if this is kind of John's fault, will Constantine be happy to let a few more rich bastards fall from the sky, like a vindictive Robin Hood? It's an all-new DC Black Label mystery starring John Constantine in his very first tale spun by acclaimed writer Tom Taylor (DCeased) and artist Darick Robertson (The Boys)!

"Working on this book feels like I've come home to a character that I've really only ever drawn once before,” said Roberton. “Spending time with a character is like getting to know someone, and I feel with Tom's script, Constantine and I are getting to be friends... which means my future is probably in danger."

Bien l'hommage à Dillon.
Le Bermejo démonte, elle sera mienne.

[Samo]

Robertson, ça marche toujours chez moi.

[NRV]

Je trouve que Robertson exagère beaucoup trop le côté benêt de Constantine.

[mellencamp]

En fait sans info sur le scénariste on croirait qu'il illustre encore une histoire d'Ennis. C'est une sensation bizarre car Robertson de base j'aime bien.
