Après Doomsday Clock #2, ce sont les couvertures des premiers numéros de la ligne Dark Matter qui nous sont dévoilées par les sollicitations de décembre.
Si nous connaissions déjà celle de Damage #1 par Tony S. Daniel (que nous vous remettons au cas où vous l’auriez raté), vous pourrez découvrir dans la galerie les covers de Jim Lee pour The Immortal Men et John Romita Jr. pour The Silencer.
THE IMMORTAL MEN #1
Written by JAMES TYNION IV • Art and cover by JIM LEE and SCOTT WILLIAMS
“THE END OF FOREVER” part one! There is a secret history to the DC Universe of heroes who have protected humanity from the shadows since the dawn of time…and who can live forever. Enter the Immortal Men! The team, headed by the Immortal Man, has waged a secret war against the House of Conquest for countless years—but Conquest has dealt a devastating blow. When their base of operations, known as the Campus, is savagely attacked, the Immortal Men must seek out their last hope—an emerging metahuman known as Caden Park! Caden’s emerging powers may be able to ensure the Immortal Men’s survival—but will Conquest get to him first?

Ethan “Elvis” Avery just wanted to serve his country. Instead, he’s been changed into a monster!
Tasked as the government’s own living, breathing, ticking time bomb, Ethan retains no control when the monster takes over. Cheaper than a nuclear warhead and twice as effective, Ethan fights to rein in the damage he unleashes when the beast inside him springs free for one hour a day. With everyone around him in danger, Ethan struggles to contain the DAMAGE he inflicts on the DC Universe.

“CODE OF HONOR” part one! She’s one of the DC Universe’s deadliest assassins…and you’ve never heard of her. Super-strong, highly trained, armed with devastating and stealthy meta-human abilities, the Silencer is virtually invincible. Or at least she was. After decades as Leviathan’s chief assassin, Honor Guest put in her time and managed to get out with her skin intact. Now she lives a normal life with a normal family in a normal house on a normal street. But the past has come back to haunt her in the form of her old employer and a deadly new mission…and Talia Al Ghul won’t take no for an answer.

Je trouve qu’elles claquent ces covers
Je croyais que les récits dark matter serait « en dohors » du DC actuel, plus dans le dark multivers mais tout de meme inscrit dans la continuité. La j’ai l’impression que c’est différent
A part Immortal Men qui a une équipe créative correcte (malgré un Jim Lee qui risque de s’absenter) et un design potable pour une équipe qui peut se révéler intéressante, je ne donne pas cher des autres titres.
Remarque, Tony Daniel a su tenir le titre Deathstroke fin New 52 en terme de ventes.
Ho fichtre, comme ces histoires ont l’air originale … Ca fait tellement longtemps qu’on n’avait pas lu un truc sur un super-tueur que tout le monde ignore :/
