Is there a hidden continuity of self that ties those works together?You've mentioned that Absolute Batman aims to confront contemporary fears. How do you balance integrating real-world issues like mass violence into a superhero narrative without it becoming overwhelming for readers?This version of Bane is described as having a “true form” that's finally revealed. Was there a moment early on in this series—or in your own Batman run—where you first imagined this version of Bane, or did he evolve uniquely within the Absolute Batman frameworkArk m in Absolute Batman seems less like a building and more like a state of consciousness. How did you want to reinvent the idea of 'asylum' in this story?This series has played with identity, memory, and repressed trauma—common Snyder themes—but how has fatherhood and your recent creator-owned work influenced how you're writing Batman now, years after your first run?You've said in past interviews that Batman is a character who builds.

This week, the boys discuss the idea that the X-Men have become a stale IP, when they have been a great team, and more! The X-Men are a superhero team in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer/editor Stan Lee and artist/co-plotter Jack Kirby, the team first appeared in The X-Men #1 (September 1963).[1] Although initially cancelled in 1970 due to low sales, following its 1975 revival and subsequent direction under writer Chris Claremont, it became one of Marvel Comics's most recognizable and successful franchises.[2] They have appeared in numerous books, television shows, 20th Century Fox's X-Men films, and video games. The X-Men title may refer to the superhero team itself, the eponymous comic series, or the broader franchise, which includes various solo titles and team books, such as the New Mutants, Excalibur, and X-Force.Like, comment, and subscribe for more content analyzing the greatest tales of DC and Marvel stories.

On se retrouve pour découvrir ensemble un nouveau comics, dans ComicsDiscovery. Que vous soyez fan de X Men ou que vous soyez désireux d'en apprendre plus sur la saga imaginée par Stan Lee, cet épisode est fait pour vous. À l'occasion de sa ressortie en édition Best of chez Panini, nous lisons Dieu crée, l'homme détruit de Brent Anderson et Chris Claremont. Un peu de contexteAvant d'entrer dans le comics, Spades, grand amateur de mutant, vous propose de remettre en contexte l'œuvre, car celui-ci est très important pour prendre conscience de l'impact du comics au moment de sa sortie en 1982. Les mutants sous l'ere ClaremontEn août 1969, Marvel se retrouve avec une série qui ne fait plus vraiment recette depuis sa création par Stan Lee et Jack Kirby — comme pas mal d'autres titres de l'époque, d'ailleurs. Cette série, c'est Uncanny X-Men. Pendant des années, elle végète, recyclant d'anciens épisodes et peinant à trouver son public. Mais en 1975, Marvel tente un coup de poker : relancer le titre avec une nouvelle équipe venue des quatre coins du globe, introduite dans le fameux Giant-Size X-Men #1.C'est là qu'entre en scène Chris Claremont. À partir de 1976, il prend les rênes du titre et va littéralement le métamorphoser. Il injecte des intrigues plus longues, des thématiques sociales puissantes, des personnages complexes et tourmentés — et surtout, une narration feuilletonnante qui capte les lecteurs sur le long terme.De 1976 à 1991, Claremont transforme Uncanny X-Men en l'une des séries phares, voire la série phare, de Marvel. Il y a clairement un avant et un après Claremont. Sans lui, les X-Men ne seraient probablement jamais devenus les icônes pop qu'ils sont aujourd'hui, et l'industrie n'aurait peut-être pas connu ce virage narratif plus adulte qu'il a contribué à initier. Dieu crée et l'homme détruit Alors qu'un groupe nommé les Purificateurs traque les mutants et les lynche purement et simplement — une référence directe à Emmett Till, ce jeune Afro-Américain assassiné en 1955, dont le meurtre a été l'un des déclencheurs majeurs du mouvement pour les droits civiques aux États-Unis —, un télévangéliste fanatique, William Stryker, utilise sa tribune médiatique pour attiser la haine des mutants au nom de la foi. Face à cette vague d'intolérance, les X-Men n'ont d'autre choix que de s'allier avec leur plus vieil adversaire : Magneto. C'est à travers ce récit, Dieu crée, l'homme détruit, que Chris Claremont grave dans l'ADN des X-Men une thématique qui ne les quittera plus : celle de la lutte contre la haine, l'intolérance et les discriminations systémiques. Bien sûr, ces idées étaient déjà présentes dans la série depuis ses débuts — la coexistence pacifique prônée par Professor Xavier face au radicalisme de Magneto en portait les prémices — mais jamais elles n'avaient été abordées avec autant de clarté, de gravité et de réalisme.Avec l'appui de Brent Anderson au dessin, Claremont utilise pour la première fois les X-Men pour parler directement, sans métaphore ni détour, à son lectorat des violences raciales, de la peur de l'autre et des dérives religieuses. Ce n'est plus simplement un comic sur des super-héros, c'est un manifeste. Un appel à la vigilance, à la solidarité, à l'empathie. Et si certains éléments d'écriture peuvent aujourd'hui paraître datés — narration dense, dialogues parfois théâtraux —, cela n'ôte rien à la puissance du propos. Le message, lui, reste brûlant d'actualité. C'est ce récit qui fait des X-Men les porte-voix d'une génération, et leur donne leur place à part dans l'univers Marvel. Qu'avez-vous pensé de ce récit ? si vous ne l'avez pas encore lu, nous vous invitons à le découvrir sans attendre ! Le mot de la finComme toujours, nous vous invitons à partager votre avis avec nous ! Que vous soyez d'accord ou non, échanger avec vous est toujours un plaisir.

Episode 47 - Murdock and Marvel: 1998 Part 2 Things continued to be grim in the comic world, but it seemed as though the freefall might be over. Marvel had escaped bankruptcy without missing even a single month of publishing, most of the other companies still in business made it through the year (but not all) and some very interesting new players entered the scene. This is part 2 of the podcast. that will feature the year in Daredevil, the Spotlight story. The Takeaway for 1998 - which is a look back at volume 1 of Daredevil - will be released next week as it's own episode. The Year in Daredevil Appearances: Daredevil #371-380, Marvel Knights: Daredevil #1-2, Uncanny X-Men #351, Thunderbolts #10, Unlimited Access #2, Shadow & Light #1, Cable #55, Ka-Zar #15, Spider-Man Made Men #1, Nighthawk #1-3, Avengers #10-11, and Bring Back the Bad Guys graphic novel.

Chichester (#380) Pencils: Ariel Olivetti (#371-372, #374), Richie Acosta (#373), Cary Nord, Olivetti, John Paul Leon, Tom Lyle, Brian Denham and Rick Leonardi (#375), Cully Hamner (#376-379), Lee Weeks (#380) Inks: Pier Brito (#371-372, #374), Bud LaRosa (#373), Mark Lipka, Brito, John Paul Leon, Robert Jones, Chis Carlson and Scott Hanna (#375), Jason Martin (#376-379), Robert Campanella (#380) The year begins with Black Widow and Daredevil discussing their recent run-ins both professionally and personally. Meanwhile Karen goes shopping with Rosalind. Matt and Karen do make up despite Daredevil leaving for a bit Next Mr. Fear pops back up after we learn something weird happened during the prison riot he planned last year. DD tries to talk to the warden, but Ghost Rider beats him to it. Fear and DD play cat and mouse for a couple issues before things come to a head. Meanwhile, we are introduced to Charlie, a likely cop whose working for Fear, who first tries to kill Fogy's sister Candice before going after Karen. In a double sized issue #375, We learn Charlie has been killed and Karen is awaiting trial for his murder. Mr. Fear is trying to manipulate things so that she will go to jail and DD will suffer a breakdown as a result. Matt is Karen's lawyer and while the case slowly slips away from him, he continues to search for Fear as Daredevil hoping it will save his case. We won't spoil the ending, as this is the spotlight story for the week. And just like that, the story quickly shifts to France... In the final named story arc of volume 1, Flying Blind, we meet Laurent Levasseur whom very much seems like our man without fear – though he thinks his just an artist. Turns out Murdock is working deep undercover for SHIELD and had his memory reprogrammed. Murdock is there to stop the sale of agent information to international buyers of the Kingpin. After spending most of the story trying to remember who he is and save the doctor who initially treated him at the start of this tale, Murdock gets his memories back from a mutant named Synapse just as SHIELD locates him and busts in as the cavalry. One side effect of the reprogramming was Murdock was able to actually see. He loses it after getting his memories back but he's able to see his friend Foggy for the first and only time. In November, Volume 1 ends with one last issue – issue #380 – and the return on Dan G Chichester and Lee Weeks for “a tale from Daredevil's past” dedicated to Archie Goodwin. A pretty straight-forward story though told non-sequentially in which the Kingpin tries to frame a Middle Eastern man for terrorism so he can get his hands on a shipment of weapons; Matt defends the patsy and wins in court; Meanwhile DD takes on several of his deadliest foes to foil the Kingpin's scheme. (The Hand/Bushwacker/Bullseye) The final page sees Murdock and his mom Maggie walking and having ice cream with narration “You want to know the truth? The good guys don't always win. But because of who they are, they never stop fighting. There's always a Daredevil willing to take a risk on our behalf. And in a city that never sleeps, we can all rest easy knowing we have that to protect us.” That same month, Volume 2 begins under the Marvel Knight branding begins with a new creative team – Kevin Smith, Joe Quesada and Jimmy Palmiotti. In the first 2 books of the Guardian Devil storyline, we learn Karen left Matt and NYC for LA 6 months ago and Matt has been trying to move on with his life. A teenage girl brings a baby to Matt that she claims is the new Messiah and leaves the kid in his care but then Murdock is approached by a mysterious old man claims the same child is the Anti-Christ and a curse to those around it.

This week's episode is a full-circle moment. We began our podcast five years ago, discussing the romantic entanglements between Scott Summers and Jean Grey as depicted in The Dark Phoenix Saga. Now, we're honored, and in a bit of disbelief, to welcome writer Chris Claremont onto the show. His contributions to the medium have been some of the most significant to our collective imagination, and they directly inspired the personal journey the two of us have been on these last handful of years. Today's conversation directly results from our new partnership with The Harvey Awards, one of the comic industry's oldest and most prestigious ceremonies. As we announced a few days ago via various social media channels, we will host The Harveys this year at the New York Comic Con on October 18th. As individuals who see themselves as champions of comics and those who make them, we're thrilled to accept the responsibility and honor this institution's great work of recognizing outstanding achievement in our most beloved art form. After we got the assignment, The Harveys asked if we wanted to speak with last year's Hall of Fame inductee, Chris Claremont. Never have we answered "Yes!" so quickly. Claremont's time is precious. We caught him in the middle of some serious travel plans and even more serious comic deadlines, but he was gracious enough to find a few minutes to squeeze us into his schedule: seventeen minutes and forty-three seconds, to be precise. With time limited, we set forth on a mission to discuss his thought bubble philosophy. The conversation, however, steers almost immediately into a creator's unique relationship with their creation. We discuss Chris Claremont's evolution as a writer, how he sees the reality of the job, and what he ultimately wants to accomplish with his words. You can stay updated with all things Chris Claremont by following him on Instagram and through his website.
