ComicsDiscovery S08E41 : Wonder Woman - Hors la loi

ComicsDiscovery

Cette semaine dans Comicsdiscovery, nous vous parlons de Wonder Woman - Hors la loi, parut en France chez Urban Comics, scénarisé par Tom King, avec un invité exceptionnel, Steeve de Happy Misfits Publishing. L'invité de la semaineAprès avoir écrit durant des années pour ComicsBlog et Comic Talk, Steeve a voulu s'engager plus auprès du média des comics qu'il adore. C'est ainsi qu'est né Happy Misfits Publishing, d'une volonté de permettre à des auteurs de comics qui n'ont pas forcément trouvé leur place dans l'édition classique. Ainsi, Steeve a fait le choix de mettre en avant des talents inédits, sortant des cases, à travers une publication qui passe par l'impression à la demande. Cela lui permet d'offrir à ces auteurs une rémunération de 30%. Son dernier projet en date ? Le comics Liminalis que son auteur Neal Pouyer présente comme un conte sombre et surréaliste inspiré du tableau l'île aux morts d'Arnold Böcklin, chef-d'œuvre du romantisme noir. Le comics de la semaineWonder Woman - Hors la loi met en scène le trio composé de Trinity, fille de Diana Prince, Wonder Woman, Jon Kent et Damian Wayne, respectivement Superman et Batman. Ensembles, ils vont surmonter de nombreux défis afin de connaître le secret que Diana a toujours refusé de révéler à sa fille. À savoir, ce qu'il s'est passé lorsque les États-Unis d'Amérique l'ont déclarée hors la loi suite à un attentat d'une mystérieuse amazone. Les artistes derrière Wonder Woman hors la loiAu scénario, on retrouve Tom King, un auteur qu'on aime beaucoup chez ComicsDiscovery. Après les attentats du 11 septembre 2001, il s'est engagé dans l'armée américaine. Il a été agent de liaison pour la CIA en Irak, où il a vécu l'enfer. Comme de nombreux soldats, il souffre d'un syndrome post-traumatique. L'écriture de comics devient une catharsis pour lui, on retrouve souvent la thématique de la dépression, des pensées sombres, mais aussi du PTSD dans ses écrits. Si vous êtes curieux d'entendre nos avis sur ses précédents travaux, n'hésitez pas à écouter nos émissions sur The Human Target, Mister Miracle chez DC ou The Vision chez Marvel.Pour l'accompagner, le dessinateur Daniel Sampere s'est chargé de donner vie à Wonder Woman et à son nouvel ennemi, le roi des États-Unis. Il a entamé sa carrière avec Vampirela the second coming et Red Sonja, revenge of the gods. Puis il rejoint DC pour travailler sur Batman, Batgirl, The Justice League ou encore Grifter. Il a également pas mal travaillé sur la série de comics Injustice. Plus récemment, il a œuvré sur Benditos Malvados, un comics résolument pulp.Le coup de crayon de Belen Ortega vient s'ajouter à celui de Daniel, pour donner vie au charmant trio de jeunes gens : Trinity, Damian et Jon qui cherchent à connaître les secrets de Diana. La dessinatrice espagnole a fait ses débuts dans les magazines spécialisés dans le comics et manga (Sugoi Magazine, Ohayo! et Generación). En 2007, elle écrit et dessine Himawari, un comics qui se passe dans le Japon médiéval, qui connaîtra même une version manga et une publication en France chez Glénat. Par la suite, elle travaille sur le comics Millenium, adapté des célèbres romans de Stieg Larsson. Remarquée pour son travail, elle travaille ensuite pour Marvel sur Les Gardiens de la Galaxy, Spider-Man, Captain Marvel puis elle passe chez DC pour travailler sur Batman et Wonder Woman. L'avis de l'équipeSophie et Angèle se sont montrées plutôt enthousiastes sur le titre. En effet, ce dernier met en avant un point de vue féministe qui résonne avec ce qu'incarne Wonder Woman imaginée par son créateur comme un équivalent féminin de Superman et un modèle pour les petites filles. Tom King place en effet Wonder Woman face à un ennemi qui semble incarner le sexisme et l'extrémisme. Les Amazones se retrouvent traquées et perçues dès lors comme une menace pour la masculinité. Néanmoins, quelques défauts d'écriture ont gêné notre équipe, en particulier Steeve qui grâce à son travail d'éditeur a plus de mal à ignorer ces facilités comme le caractère touffu des encarts narratifs. James a été un peu déçu par l'écriture de Tom King, quant à Spades, il n'a pas apprécié ce titre qu'il a trouvé mal écrit. Ce n'est donc pas un coup de cœur, à l'exception d'Angèle qui l'a vraiment aimé.

This out of the way gem of a sake region is home to several outstanding breweries and also an "Appellation of Origin" control system which endeavors to define what "sake from Saga" really is. John and Timothy tackle two of the most well known breweries in Saga, Amabuki and Tenzan to explore what makes them unique - and what binds them together. The brewers of Saga are innovative and working hard to create a new generation of sake. So come fly with us to the far west of Japan to hear the Saga of Saga Kuras.

Topics Discussed How people in Japan normally state their family name before their given name The complicated history of naming practices in Japan Commoners being prohibited from using family names during the Edo Period The Meiji era laws that mandated every Japanese person take a family name The reluctance of some people to take a family name during the Meiji Period The fact that many (most?) people with the surname Satō (佐藤) are probably not descended from samurai The fact that many commoners were given last names based on the geographical features of the area in which they lived The story of how the Furo (風呂) family supposedly got their family name from Minamoto no Yoshitsune The most common family names in Japan in 2019 How many Japanese family names there are The prevalence of rare Japanese last names The regional nature of some Japanese family names The convention of naming boys based on their birth order How it's easy to forget people's first names in Japan Some of the factors people in Japan consider when naming a baby Asking people in Japan about the kanji they use for their given name as a way to spark conversation The phenomenon of siblings having related names Interesting names in anime The practice of picking a baby name based on the way a name is written How much it usually costs to have a shrine pick a baby name for you What a seimeihandanshi is What it might cost you to have a seimeihandanshi pick a baby name for you A list outlining the most popular baby names in Japan of 2019 The Japanese naming convention of tōriji How shorter names have become common in Japan in recent years How female names that end in -ko used to be more common And much more! Note: Just for the sake of clarity, I'd like to point out that the story of the Furo family name did not occur during the Meiji Period (actually it probably never even occurred in the way it is normally told). However, because the story was introduced alongside the changes of the Meiji Period it's possible to be left with the impression that there was a connection there. There is no direct connection. The story was simply brought up as an example of the many interesting ways in which people in Japan acquired last names.

Anime DVD review of xxxHolic Volume 4. Directed by Tsutomu Mizushima (Genshiken, Hare+Guu). Series Composition by Ageha Ohkawa of CLAMP and Michiko Yokote (Bleach, Naruto, Genshiken). 100 minutes, Episodes 13-16. Published by Funimation, $29.98 (Rightstuf.com has it for $7.00 and Funimation has recently released a box set of the entire series), Rated 13+. Watanuki and Domeki's partnership is growing stronger as the 4th volume of xxxHolic opens, even if Watanuki wants Domeki out of the way when it comes to his would-be romance with Himawari. He always seems to pop up as the third wheel just when he's about to get Himawari by herself. But first things first. Watanuki notices a girl at school with a strange feature on her back. She has a pair of small wings! At first he thinks they might be cosplay or something but they are real. Does it have something to do with the girl hanging out on the school roof, gazing at flying birds? Then it's on to a two parter involving two very weird twins. Well, maybe it's all in Watanuki's imagination. When he's around the the two girls, he feels a strange sort of wave effect that does not portend anything good usually. In some way the twins are impacting each other through a psychic link or by the things they say to each other. A comedy element of xxxHolic these days is the nine tailed fox spirit that mostly appears in a cute sort of small furry eel form that is always clinging to or wrapped around Watanuki's body. Don't get this spirit confused with Naruto's evil entity. This fox spirit is more like an affection starved dog. He starts causing trouble for Watanuki when he is changed into his full size on this volume. xxxHolic is an anime that always falls just a tiny bit short of being a really good show. It succeeds admirably at creating a comedic but always otherworldly atmosphere that at times can creep you out. But its Twilight Zone-like endings never seem to shock or surprise. Because the writing is a bit subpar, you can always figure out what is going to happen long before it does. So the "punchlines" at the end very rarely have the impact the writers intended. This seems to be a problem that CLAMP has a lot. They are very good at designing characters and of concocting interesting plot setups, but do not do a good job with the execution of their stories. Tsubasa is a good example of this. They had awesome characters jumping across time and space but all the worlds they visited seemed so cliched and boring! I think they would be a greater force if they just set up scenarios and supplied the art and let someone else do the actual writing. I really like the characters in xxxHolic and the comedy bits are quite good. The supernatural elements are where inconsistencies popped up. It probably didn't help that I had already read some of the stories in manga form before watching the dvd. Even though it doesn't live up to its potential and the beautiful art from the manga is simplified a bit, xxxHolic is well worth watching. My Grade: B+ All 24 episodes of the series can be watched at www.hulu.com You can view Episode 13 below:

Manga review of xxxHolic Volume 4 by CLAMP. Translated and adapted by William Flanagan. Originally published in Japan by Kodansha. Published in US by Del Rey, $10.95, Rated T for ages 13+. It's Valentine's Day, which in Japan,  is the day when girls give homemade chocolate to their beloved, or crush, as it may be.  In a lot of cases, the giving of the candy might be the first time that a young girl has revealed their feelings to the object of their affection. Of course, Watanuki is hoping to get some from Himawari, the girl that he likes. None is forthcoming, though, and he finds himself, instead, slaving in the kitchen making chocolate for Yuko! While this reverses the gender roles of the day he still tries to salvage things by intending to let Himawari taste it. Domeki tries some instead in his laidback manner of butting in. But all is not lost for Watanuki. There IS a girl that likes him and wants to give him chocolate, but she also wants to steal Domeki's soul. In the second story arc of this volume, Watanuki and friends get mixed up with twin sisters that have a supernatural bond centered around the power of words and negative thinking. I was a little let down by the writing in this fourth volume. It didn't really have any hooks. I found the Valentine's Day chapters really funny, but the storyline with the twins never paid off. They weren't creepy or scary and the climax was a bit of a letdown. I guess a large portion of the book just didn't have enough of that Twilight Zone feeling that I usually get when I read xxxHolic. Where CLAMP more than makes up for the subpar script in Volume 4 is in the beautiful, and at times, stunning artwork. There are some really nice panels in the Valentine chapters where the characters are backlit against the moon which really highlight CLAMP's mastery of solid blacks and flowing lines in this series. What a contrast to Tsubasa's rough unfinished edges. My Grade: B

Manga review of xxxHolic Volume 2 by CLAMP. Translated and adapted by Bill Flanagan. Originally published in Japan by Kodansha. Published in US by Del Rey, $10.95, Rated T for Ages 13+. Volume 2 of xxxHolic opens with the arrival of  Syaoran, Sakura, Kurogane, and Fai, events already recounted in Tsubasa Volume 1, the sister manga of this series. After the time/space travellers leave, it's back to business for Yuko and Watanuki. Of course, that return to normalcy means that Watanuki goes back to being the gopher slave of Yuko. But Watanuki has something occupying his mind, or rather his heart. His crush on his classmate, Himawari Kunogi, is becoming more and more intense. But Watanuki is not known to be one of the braver souls in Japan, so he's finding it hard to broach the subject of going out on a date with Himawari. Yuko tries to help him by giving him a quick crash course in divination, seeing as how Himawari is pretty interested in horoscopes and the like. She even agrees to go on a double date with the two lovebirds. Much to Watanuki's annoyance, the fourth member of the party turns out to be a guy named Domeki, Watanuki's hated rival. The question is, rival at what? Currently, it seems that Watanuki fears that Domeki could capture Himawari's heart. It's not going to be a normal date anyway as Yuko plans to have a "100 Ghost Story Night" at the temple where Domeki lives. After finishing the first two volumes of Tsubasa and xxxHolic, I have to say that Holic is by far the superior series. Tsubasa sank into a pit of shonen spirit animal Pokemon fighting which bored me and reminded me why I gave up on the Tsubasa anime after one volume. Tsubasa seems more intent on fitting in every character of the CLAMP universe, no matter how insignificant. Holic doesn't have that burden and is the better for it. Instead of serving as the vehicle for cameos of all stripes, Holic actually concentrates on telling a story. The first thing I have to say about Holic is to make a comment on the beautiful covers that adorn all the volumes, so intricate that they would fit in well on an Oriental rug. Somehow, CLAMP is able to pull out the feat of making you laugh, creeping you out, and expanding your mind with mind-blowing concepts all in the same book. You can tell that CLAMP really went the extra mile in challenging their readers by grappling with the concepts of destiny, love, and the interdependence of all human beings. A really good book.
