Sin City Tome 2

Matt Murdock en est sûr, Elektra est morte. Alors, pourquoi est-il sans cesse assailli de cauchemars et de prémonitions terribles dans lesquelles son ancien amour est non seulement vivante, mais on ne peut plus active en tant que criminelle ? Daredevil ne trouvera pas le sommeil avant d'en avoir le coeur net. Peu d'auteurs ont autant laissé leur marque sur un personnage que Frank Miller sur ceux de Daredevil et Elektra. En 1990, Miller rend la vie au grand amour de Matt Murdock dans une superbe saga, publiée en format Graphic Novel. Nous la présentons ici dans le même format géant que X-Men : Genèse Mutante ou Magnéto : le Testament, donnant ainsi toute la place au magnifique trait de Miller.

Ronin tome 1: Sacrifice

An emperor amasses an army of hundreds of thousands, drawn from two continents, to invade a third continent and conquer a tiny, divided nation. Only a few hundred warriors stand against them. Yet the tiny nation is saved. It sounds like the plot of a preposterous fantasy novel. It is historical fact. In 481-480 B.C., King Xerxes of Persia raised forces in Asia and Africa and invaded Greece with an army so huge that it "drank rivers dry." Then they entered the mountain pass of Thermopylae and encountered 300 determined soldiers from Sparta.... Writer-artist Frank Miller and colorist Lynn Varley retell the battle of Thermopylae in the exciting and moving graphic novel 300. They focus on King Leonidas, the young foot soldier Stelios, and the storyteller Dilios to highlight the Spartans' awe-inspiring toughness and valor. Miller and Varley's art is terrific, as always; the combat scenes are especially powerful. And Miller's writing is his best in years. Read it. Do not, however, read 300 expecting a strictly accurate history. The Phocians did not "scatter," as Miller describes. His Spartans are mildly homophobic, which is goofy in such a gay society. Miller doesn't say how many Greeks remained for the climactic battle--you'd think 300 Spartans and maybe a dozen others, when there were between 700 and 1,100 Greeks. Herodotus's Histories does not identify the traitor Ephialtes as ugly and hunchbacked, or even as Spartan. 300 establishes a believable connection between Ephialtes's affliction and behavior, but his monstrous appearance, King Xerxes's effeminacy, and the Persians' inexplicable pierced-GenX-African looks make for an eyebrow-raising choice of villain imagery. Nonetheless, 300 is a brilliant dramatization. For the full story of the failed invasion, read Herodotus's Histories or, for a concise, graphic-novel retelling, Larry Gonick's great Cartoon History of the Universe: Volumes 1-7, From the Big Bang to Alexander the Great. For a lighthearted look at post-invasion Athens and a very young Alexander the Great, check out William Messner-Loebs and Sam Kieth's witty and gorgeous graphic novels, Epicurus the Sage Vol. I and Vol. II. --Cynthia Ward

La vieille ville de Sin City est une forteresse bien gardée dont les belles de nuit ont fait leur quartier général. A la différence de bien des quartiers chauds connus à travers le monde, ici il n'y a pas besoin de souteneurs. Les filles sont armées jusqu'aux dents et ce sont elles qui font régner "la loi". Alors, quand un flic ripou armé de mauvaises intentions pénètre dans la vieille ville pour malmener l'une d'elles, il ne sait pas qu'il va y perdre la tête et déclencher un grand carnage ! L'épisode permet de retrouver Dwight (J'ai tué pour elle) et surtout la "prostituée-acrobate-Ninja", Miho.
