	Best-selling DC talent Kelly Sue DeConnick (Aquaman) and Phil Jimenez (Wonder Woman By Phil Jimenez Omnibus) launches one of the most highly-anticipated releases of the year. Millennia ago, Queen Hera and the goddesses of the Olympian pantheon grew greatly dissatisfied with their male counterparts… and far from their sight, they put a plan into action. A new society was born, one never before seen on Earth, capable of wondrous and terrible things, but their existence could not stay secret for long. When a despairing woman named Hippolyta crossed the Amazons’ path, a series of events was set in motion that would lead to an outright war in heaven—and the creation of the Earth’s greatest guardian! One of the most unforgettable DC tales of all time begins here, with subsequent issues featuring art by modern masters Gene Ha and Nicola Scott releasing in the spring and autumn of 2022.

Dire que j'attends ce titre est un euphémisme!

[Eddy Vanleffe]

Pour le postulat et Phil Jimenez je bave d'avance!

[cyclopebox]

Le concept me branche bien, d'autant plus que le passé des amazones n'a jamais été vraiment traité. Il y a un pan entier à écrire, les auteurs peuvent se lâcher.
Ce sera une mini-série en combien de numéros ?

[scarletneedle]

Pas précisé car il ya déjà d'autres artistes prévus après Phil.

[EsseJi]

Ca sera en trois, avec Phil Jimenez sur le #1, Gene Ha sur le #2 et Nicola Scott pour le dernier.

[scarletneedle]

4 ans pour 60 pages??

	The wait is over, and the entire story of the Amazons can finally be told! Best-selling DC talent Kelly Sue DeConnick (Aquaman) and Phil Jimenez (Wonder Woman By Phil Jimenez Omnibus) will explore the ancient history of the Amazons, expand the mythology and world of Wonder Woman as we know it, and launch one of the most highly-anticipated releases of the year! One of the greatest DC tales of all time begins on November 30 with Book One of Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons, a three-part DC Black Label epic spanning thousands of years! “This book is very much a conversation between Phil and me talking about these characters and what makes them resonant today,” said DeConnick. “We wanted to do a Homeric epic with a woman at the center. We took all the language and iconography that we’re used to in stories about men as heroes, and put women at the center. Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons is like a history book for a young Amazon where she learns the history of her people, from the perspective of her people.” Millennia ago, Queen Hera and the goddesses of the Olympian pantheon grew greatly dissatisfied with their male counterparts…and far from their sight, they put a plan into action. A new society was born, one never before seen on Earth, capable of wondrous and terrible things…but their existence could not stay secret for long. When a despairing woman named Hippolyta crossed the Amazons' path, a series of events was set in motion that would lead to an outright war in heaven—and the creation of the Earth's greatest guardian! Legendary talents Kelly Sue DeConnick and Phil Jimenez unleash a reading experience the likes of which you've never seen with Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons #1, featuring unbelievably sumptuous art and a story that will haunt you. Design pages featuring notes by Phil Jimenez will complement the reading experience, giving insight into the various Amazon tribes shown above. The Tribe of Artemis — including Antiope — is detailed below alongside the Tribe of Hestia, with more tribes to be revealed when you pick up Woman Historia: The Amazons #1 from your local comic shop on November 30! “The thing that excited me the most about this project was Kelly Sue’s take on the mythology,” said Jimenez. “This book also allowed me to rethink the design of the Amazons. I wanted to represent the different types of women around the world. It was important that readers see themselves somewhere represented physically among these women.” Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons #1, written by Kelly Sue DeConnick, art by Phil Jimenez, colors by Hi-Fi, Arif Prianto & Romulo Fajardo Jr., and letters by Clayton Cowles, publishes on Nov 30, 2021. Main cover is by Jimenez, variant cover is by Olivier Coipel, plus a Library Faux Leather Design ratio variant with gold foil and textured treatment by DC’s Associate Art Director Darran Robinson which will be available from participating retailers. Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons is edited by Chris Conroy, Andy Khouri and Andrea Shea. Book Two and Three will be released in Spring and Fall 2022 respectively, featuring art by modern masters Gene Ha (Book Two) and Nicola Scott (Book Three).

3 coloristes tout de même.

[FredGri]

Je trouve certaines des pages montrées ici vachement chargées quand même. Sans cohérence de couleur. Ca me ramène à Otherworld qui n'est pas un bon souvenir, pour ma part (jamais réussi à terminer la lecture de ces numéros)
J'ai commandé le 1, mais j'avoue que ca ne me donne pas complètement envie non plus… A voir…

[scarletneedle]

Ah, Otherworld, le truc qui n'a jamais eu de fin...

Pour les 2 prochains numéros, entre Nicola Scott et Gene Ha (printemps et fin 2022...), ça devrait être moins chargé.

Ce qui me dérange est qu'avec le temps depuis que Phil Jimenez, que j'adore, bosse dessus depuis l'annonce du projet, il faille quand même 3 coloristes.

[scarletneedle]

Je viens de feuilleter mon exemplaire.
C'est magnifique mais alors c'est détaillé à 1 point que c'est perturbant : je vais le lire à tête reposée et avec un bon éclairage.

Par contre, le format nique complètement cette double page située au début du comic :



Les dos carrés, ça fait de belles collections mais, pour les doubles pages, c'est gâcher...

J'espère bien le savourer.

[EsseJi]

Pratiquement le même souci qu'avec Other History of the DCU, ou c'était même pire, il y avait une case de texte au milieu de la splash. Il y a un editor dans la place?

[Zeid]

N'empêche, c'est quand même très beau. Jimenez essaye de faire son Williams III, clairement !

[Tony LETROUVÉ]

Je viens de le lire, j'ai été très déçu par le scénario après je pense que j'en attendais surement trop au vu du délai d'attente.
