One last post for 2011

I guess it's the right time to up my postcount for 2011.

I've been very busy with real life these last months. I've changed of job, bought a house and had a second daughter.

Yet, with the holiday season, I've had time to read a few comics and here are my comments about them.

JLA : another nail, Fantastic Four : The End and Avengers Prime : surely that Alan Davis guy can draw. And his writing is good, too (especially in FF : the End).
Les Chroniques de Conan, 1977 (french reprints of Savage Sword of Conan from the year 1977) : those Buscema and Alcala guys were no slouches either.
Batman and the Monster Men, Batman and the Mad Monk : Matt Wagner can draw and write ! I only wonder how many tales DC will manage to pack in Batman "first years".
The Walking Dead (book 1 and 2) : like the Zombie cocktail : potent stuff but not for me.
Chew (book 1 and 2) : more to my taste.
Criminal : the last of the innocent. Crime doesn't pay. Except when you can write good stories about it, like Brubaker and Phillips.
Scalped : the series will end in 2012 and I'll miss it (but at least, it's no cancellation but the planned ending).

And last but not least : the Daredevil relaunch. DD got back his cool, he's no more a pawn in the series and is graced with very nice art. What's to asked before his next breakdown ?


See you next year.

Daredevil teamed-up with the FF a few times but this time it's Matt Murdock who offers his help.

Where do you think Matt will go, next ?

The Murdock Interviews - part 1

So, right now Matt Murdock is wandering in the country but we all know he shall, at a point, come back to NYC... maybe as a man without fear, surely as a man without a job.
I've been musing about his job hunting.
Bon, en ce moment, Matt Murdock se balade dans la pampa (façon de parler) mais il est probable qu'il doive, un jour prochain, se repointer à NYC et... pointer au chômage.
J'ai essayé d'imaginer sa recherche d'emploi (en VO only, sorry).

Do you think he'll get the job ?

Note : GLK & H was created by Dan Slott in the She-Hulk series.
Note : Goodman, Lieber, Kurtzberg & Holliway est un cabinet inventé par Dan Slott dans sa mini-série She-Hulk

Next part scheduled for friday !
La suite vendredi !

Lovers

I finished this one yesterday but today was a better date to post it.
Daredevil & Black Widow, done with inks, markers and white pastel.
Voilà un dessin fait hier mais qui colle plutôt bien au thème du jour.
Fait à l'encre, au feutre et au pastel blanc.

Happy Valentine, Matt&Nat !

Next post : sequential art !
Prochain post : une BD !

Red Devil on Red Paper

Browsing on Comic Art Fans, I've always enjoyed the drawings of Matt Wagner, especially the ones on color paper. So today, I tried to do something like that.
I had red paper, the fitting character didn't take much time to figure.
It didn't come out too bad. I might do more of this.

En surfant sur CAF, j'ai toujours bien aimé les dessins de Matt Wagner, particulièrement ceux sur du papier de couleur. Alors j'y suis allé de mon petit essai aujourd'hui.
Avec du papier rouge à disposition, je n'ai pas eu à chercher très loin pour choisir le sujet...
Pas trop mal, à mon humble avis, faudra que je retente...

The Red Knight Returns

What do you get when you mix the cover design of Dark Knight Returns with a DD pose from a panel of DD V2 #65 by Phil Hester ? A pic I did this sunday.
Qu'est-ce qu'on obtient en mélangeant la couv' de Dark Kinght Returns n°1 et une pose de Daredevil tirée du n° 65 (V2) par Phil Hester ? Une image faite ce dimanche.

Happy New Year !
Bonne année !
