X-men Dieu crée, l'homme détruit [ComicsDiscovery S09E26]

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 !

Show notes provided by Arco EspositoAs comic book fans we all have a particular favorite era that we can either remember fondly or relate to in some way that makes it a bit more special than others. However, has there ever been a time in comics history that has graced the medium with as many memorable, and dare I say even legendary, characters as the run between Fantastic Four #44 through #66?? The Marvelous Marvel Minds of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby gave us the classic debuts of the Inhumans, The Black Panther and he would soon be called Adam Warlock! Classic villains such as Klaw and Doctor Doom would also feature prominently in a few stories but nestled in between all this grandeur was the piece de resistance, the jewel in what many call crowning glory of all that is Marvel: THE COMING OF GALACTUS! That's right! The world devourer and his herald The Silver Surfer made their way to Earth in a three issue arc, #48-50, and comics were forever changed. For how can mere mortals even comprehend let alone fight against a virtual force of the universe?! Stan and Jack showed us the way and in doing so literally opened up the universe and all its wonderful characters to us. Join James, Joe and Arco, your guides through all that is Cosmic Marvel and listen in to the awe, joy and appreciation of how the Earth almost being literally eaten turned out to be one of the greatest stories ever told!

What's that Kirby Crackle octopus chasing Cap and Falcon? And didn't it used to be an oddly muscular, bald (naturally) corpse? It's Agron, who gives our heroes some headaches in Captain America and the Falcon issues 204 and 205. Not the best Jack Kirby Cap adventure ever, but it produces at least one wildly T-shirt-worthy … Continue reading #834 Jack Kirby's “Cap and Falcon” vs a bodybuilding corpse

Jace is joined by artist Evan Cagle to chat about New Gods #3. The story is really gaining momentum with flashbacks into the distant past, adding context to current events as we see the alien Nyctari attack Apokolops, New Genesis and perhaps earth is next. Evan talks about the freedom in the character design of the aliens he designed and the legacy feel of working on Jack Kirby creations. He also mentions that when series writer Ram V first told him about the project, he wasn't sure he was right for it. If anyone has seen the first two issues, I think you will agree that it is great that Evan came around to finding his way on the project.

 Issue 194 - Thunderbolt Ross Intro Captain America: Brave New World reaction coming to Patreon Background (1:38) General Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in The Incredible Hulk #1 (May 1962) Lieutenant General Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross oversees gamma bomb project that ultimately leads to the creation of the Hulk (Bruce Banner) Grew up in a military family, and was focused on serving his country from a young age - joined the Army Air Corps (later Air Force) and worked his way up through the ranks Bruce's growing relationship with Ross' daughter Betty was a source of frustration and anger for him, as was the recurring nuisance of the Hulk - Ross made it his personal mission to find and destroy the Hulk Several times he allied with villains to battle the Hulk, which ultimately led to his dismissal from the military Betty and Bruce get engaged, but the Leader turns Hulk savage, and the wedding is called off - Betty later marries Glenn Talbot, and Ross is satisfied that Banner will never be his son-in-law When Talbot was captured by the Soviets in a rescue mission to save Ross, his apparent death fractured his relationship with Betty, as well as a demotion at work because of his inability to capture the Hulk Betty divorced Talbot and revealed she still loved Bruce - enraged by this, Ross allied with MODOK to have the Abomination kill the Hulk, but Betty caught wind of the plan and accused her father of treason - he was discharged from the Air Force and nearly committed suicide When Bruce and Betty get married, Ross shows up at the wedding with a gun to stop the ceremony - Rick Jones intervenes and is shot non-fatally In a SHIELD experiment he merges with Zzzax, a being of sentient electrical energy - in a battle with a mutant, he expends his energy to save Betty, and dies His body was resurrected by the Leader, and he rejoins the Air Force After Betty is killed by the Abomination and Hulk is exiled by the Illuminati, Ross sinks into an alcoholic depression - when Steve Rogers is shot, he is visited by MODOK and the Leader and offered a chance to gain Hulk-like powers - he then becomes Red Hulk, and his first act is to kill the Abomination for murdering Betty Ross' identity as the Hulk is kept secret for over two years before being revealed during World War Hulks He later joins the Avengers, where he befriended an LMD named Annie that helped give him some perspective and understanding about things Temporarily bonds with both the Venom symbiote and the Spirit of Vengeance, becoming a being known as the Circle of Four - this is to defeat Blackheart, son of Mephisto Gets depowered by Doc Green, a super-intelligent version of the Hulk Issues - Theme is “a small river flowing long enough becomes a canyon” (7:10) When tradition becomes a trap Overprotective of his daughter (13:44) Oh yeah, the Hulk stuff (25:15) Break (29:06) Plugs for Play Comics & Geek Peak Treatment (30:19) In-universe -  Out of universe - (32:37) Skit (39:51) Hello General Ross, I'm Dr. Issues. - Doctor, with all due respect, let's set the record straight. I didn't come here for treatment. I came here for a clean bill of health. I've been involved in enough government missions, secret protocols, and super-powered expeditions that I should be the last one to hide from any flaws. I'm not perfect, but I don't have to be. And that was before I learned about getting red in the face. Well, that is a hot start, General -I don't do jokes, if you don't mind. There are serious matters at hand. But you…I'll keep that in mind. Sheesh. There are always serious matters at hand. That's how the world works. That doesn't mean they all have to involve you. -Agreed. I pick my spots. But those are enormous spots. I know my enemy better than they know themselves. That's what's lacking in battles nowadays. The foe has no concept of planning. So many people think being random makes you dangerous. It just makes you a fool. Well, not to sound condescending, but I doubt all of your plans go the way you want them to. -A plan is useless. PLANNING is indispensable. Do you know who said that? Dwight Eisenhower. So you enjoy the process necessary to reach goals, and not just the goal itself. -If I didn't then I would have stopped existing a long time ago. I think people get that wrong about me. They think I'm some madman that wants to destroy the Hulk at all costs. And that was wrong…how? -I was never a madman. I'm calculating the whole way through. The heat thing says otherwise -Emotion in battle, Doctor. It's something you can't wrap your head around. Oh yeah, I get the rage, but in the fog of war, that can be the guide to see you through. No hippie woo woo love fest is going to save you when bullets are zipping and bombs are dropping. The only time you bring in God is to say “Thank God it's over” and you've won. You present more demure than expected. -You sound like one of those Gen Z types when you say that. You're a grown man. Act like it. So no social media memes; understood sir. But are you really past everything that's listed in your file? Banner? Betty? Intelligencia? Avengers? It says here your own likeness was killed! None of that sounds traumatic to you? -Of course it does. So what? We all have trauma. I used to let it eat at me, just shove it down my own throat, and let it all come out when the time is right. But with what I have now, there's no secrets. It's on my skin, in my veins, and radiating through the air. I finally found a way to have nothing to hide. My choices, my fights, my consequences. Anything to add to that? You're hitting the same note. What brings you enjoyment? How about sadness? Do you have any fears left? -You're breaking the cardinal rule; you're supposed to ask one question at a time. I'm sad that too many people think too small for their entire lives. I find joy in being one of the few living creatures to destroy multiple so-called badasses because I can adjust tactically and not be held down by magical thinking. I fear that anything less than a perfect rating in this assessment will leave me with a permanent mark that will have me use your office as a rage room.  *pause* Didn't you shoot someone at your daughter's wed -*interrupting* RAGE. ROOM.  You don't have to be so pushy about it. -So, are you slapping the PTSD label on like everyone else? No, I'll think outside the box and go I-G-E-D. -What the hell is that? Intermittent Gamma Explosive Disorder -*Groans* Doc Samson was right about you.

Listen up, you magnificent weirdos—no great art happens alone. Whether you're making comics, painting, kitbashing, or building cosplay props, collaboration will take you further than you ever thought possible.I know, I know—every artist has thatcontrol freak mentality.“It's my vision! My story! My world!” But let me tell you something: even thebest of the best have someone in their corner. Jack Kirby had Stan Lee (whether he liked it or not), Eastman had Laird, and every single artist out there who's killing it today? Yeah, they've got an inker, a colorist, a writer, a letterer—a squad backing them up.So why are you out here trying to do everything yourself?It's simple:we're stubborn. Every comic creator, painter, filmmaker, or maker I know has this belief thatonly they can execute their vision perfectly. And while that's cute and all, it's alsothe fast track to burnout.I've been there. I've tried writing, penciling, inking, coloring, and letteringall on my own. And you know what I learned?That's a one-way ticket to misery, my friend.The indie scene is full ofamazing talent, but too many people fall into the trap of doing EVERYTHING themselves because they don't want to "lose control."But real talk? The best work happens when you trust someone else to bring something new to the table.Great art is like ajam session—it's about feeding off the energy of the people around you.Think about comics:Awriter gives an artist a script, and the artistbrings it to life.Acolorist takes those lines andadds emotion, depth, and energy.Aletterer gives the story itsvoice and rhythm.It's ateam sport, and when you find the right people, you'llpush each other to new creative heights.Think about Kevin Smith and Scott Mosier—Smith thoughtClerks was just a dumb indie flick, but Mosier pushed him tobelieve in his own work and go bigger. That's what collaboration does. Itchallenges you, hypes you up, and makes you better.Not all collabs aregood collabs. Some people are lazy. Some people are full of shit. And some people?Will push you to be better than you ever imagined.So how do you find them?✅ Look for people whogive honest feedback without being assholes.✅ Find creatives whochallenge your ideas but respect your vision.✅ Work with those whoactually do the work—not just talk about it.And most importantly?Put yourself in the mix. Find fellow creatives at cons, on Discord, Substack, Instagram—wherever your people are.The best collaborations happen when youshare the love. Stop hoarding your ideas like some kind of goblin sitting on a pile of unused brilliance.Reach out. Connect. Create.This week, I challenge you—find one person to collaborate with. A writer, an artist, a creator—team up and make something happen.And when you do? Hit me up. I wanna hear about it.

After doing a stint on Conan the Barbarian for Marvel, Jason Aaron and Mahmud Asrar aimed to keep their collaboration roaring. They loved their time in Hyperborea but also wanted a realm to claim as their own and one where they could unleash their most vicious instincts. Bug Wars, their latest partnership, published at Image Comics, is the beautifully brutal saga of "The Yard." Here, in the tall grass, below teenager Slade Slaymaker's home, Beetle Clans rage against the Ant Imperium while the Systers of the Spyder whisper of a coming storm. We're excited to have Jason Aaron back on the podcast, this time bringing Mahmud Asrar with him. We discuss their fascination with "Oh, No! I'm Shrunk!" stories and why their version required a bloody battleground. Our conversation also ventures into why Bug Wars may be one of Jason Aaron's most personal stories and how Mahmud Asrar challenged some legitimate creepy crawly phobias to bring this tale to the page. This week's podcast begins with a discussion about our "Comics Will Mend Your Heart" 2025 theme and how it relates to the famous Jack Kirby quote, "Kid...comics will break your heart." When and where did Kirby first say it, and what was the quote's original context? We get into it. Bug Wars #1 arrives in comic shops on February 12th. It's written by Jason Aaron, illustrated by Mahmud Asrar, colored by Matthew Wilson, lettered and designed by Becca Carey, and edited by Heather Antos.

Believe it or not, Days of Future Podcast is ten years old! That's right, a full decade of talking the weather, Richard Kind, and The Single Guy, with the occasional bit of X-Men discussion, as well. To celebrate this important milestone, we're reviewing the original "X-Men #10," from January of 1965, by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. In this issue, the original five X-Men journey for the first time to the Savage Land, as the X-Men and Marvel readers alike are introduced to Ka-Zar, the lord of the jungle, and his sabretooth tiger, Zabu. You've been waiting ten long years to hear us talk about Ka-Zar (uhhh...right?), and now, finally, here is your chance! But first, we reminisce on ten years of DOFP, debate whether the X-Men franchise is a better place today than it was a decade ago, and share our thoughts on which X-Men characters have changed the most since we started the show. Plus, Trev struggles to keep straight the nationalities of X-Men member Banshee and '60s folk rock icon Donovan, while Joe asks which X-Men is most likely to be friends with Bob Dylan??

They're back! Writer Rick Quinn and artist Dave Chisholm return to the podcast to discuss Spectrum #2, the second issue in their science fiction tour through an alternate musical history. As the plot reveals itself, adding new elements and several more splash pages, we dig deeper into its characters, emotions, and references. Adding this conversation atop our previous one about the first issue, we're building something grand - a comic book dissection as we've never done before - so we might as well officially make it a Book Club and invite everyone listening to join in on the comics summit. Have you read Spectrum #1? Have you read Spectrum #2? Do you have any thoughts? Do you have questions? We want to hear them! CLICK HERE and drop them into the comments. Next month, when we return to the podcast with Rick Quinn and Dave Chisholm, we'll work our way through them on the show. This is your chance to shape the conversation and connect with the big ideas about art these creators are exploring. Spectrum #2 introduces Ada Latimer, the retail warrior trying to keep her Unpopular Pop record store afloat. Within the comic's first few moments, she meets the reality-bending Melody from issue one and has a cosmic encounter that would curl Jack Kirby's toes. A quest is discovered, one that will slam Ada and Melody together as they search for a mythical music producer while battling a creature of song called Echo. Now, more than ever, community offers relief. We must find our people and love and fight by their side. For us, we feel the most connected when we're engaged with art, whether it takes the form of music, movies, or comic books. Creating a book club, determined to cover this series for the next five or so months, is an act of hope and optimism. And so is joining one. Spectrum #2 is now available from Mad Cave Studios, wherever rad comics are sold. Make sure you're following Dave Chisholm on his Website, TikTok, Instagram, and Bluesky.
