Dans cet épisode de ComicsDiscovery, on s'attaque à un véritable monument de la culture DC. Un récit légendaire, souvent cité comme l'un des événements les plus marquants de l'histoire des comics, celui qui a bouleversé l'univers DC et marqué des générations de lecteurs : Crisis on Infinite Earths, de Marv Wolfman et George Pérez. Et bonne nouvelle : Urban Comics remet aujourd'hui cette saga incontournable sur le devant de la scène avec une nouvelle édition en format moderne, dont le premier tome vient tout juste de sortir. Un peu de contexte historiqueCrisis on Infinite Earths date de 1986, mais son histoire commence en réalité bien plus tôt, en septembre 1961, avec The Flash #123, un épisode devenu mythique intitulé Flash of Two Worlds!. Dans ce numéro, scénarisé par Gardner Fox et dessiné par Carmine Infantino, Barry Allen rencontre pour la première fois Jay Garrick, le tout premier Flash de l'histoire de DC. Cette rencontre introduit une idée révolutionnaire : l'existence de Terres parallèles et de réalités multiples au sein d'un même univers. À partir de là, DC va exploiter ce concept pour multiplier les séries, et intégrer progressivement des personnages issus d'autres éditeurs rachetés au fil du temps. Des héros comme Shazam, Blue Beetle ou encore Plastic Man n'appartenaient pas à l'origine à DC, mais vont venir enrichir cette immense continuité. Le problème, c'est qu'à la fin des années 70 et au début des années 80, l'univers DC devient de plus en plus complexe : trop de Terres, trop de versions des personnages, et des lecteurs parfois complètement perdus. C'est dans ce contexte que Marv Wolfman arrive avec une idée radicale : détruire le multivers pour tout reconstruire autour d'un seul univers cohérent. Et c'est ainsi que naît Crisis on Infinite Earths. Le récit de Crisis on Infinite EarthsDans Crisis on Infinite Earths, une menace cosmique sans précédent s'abat sur le multivers. Une entité appelée l'Anti-Monitor commence à détruire les différentes Terres une par une, effaçant des univers entiers dans une vague d'antimatière.Face à cette annihilation totale, son opposé, le Monitor, rassemble des héros et des vilains venus de toutes les réalités pour tenter de stopper la catastrophe. Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern… tous sont entraînés dans une bataille désespérée où l'enjeu n'est rien de moins que la survie de l'existence elle-même. Mais très vite, les sacrifices deviennent inévitables, et certaines figures majeures de l'univers DC vont disparaître pour toujours. Alors, est-ce une bonne idée de lire Crisis en 2026 ?C'est une question qu'on peut légitimement se poser. Le récit a bientôt 40 ans, et comme beaucoup de comics de cette époque, il peut avoir un peu vieilli, aussi bien dans son écriture que dans son rythme. Et surtout, avec la sortie de cette nouvelle édition proposée par Urban Comics, une autre question se pose : est-ce que cet achat vaut vraiment le coup aujourd'hui ? On va commencer directement par ce qui ne va pas… non, ne vous précipitez pas sur cette édition. À moins d'être vraiment complétiste, cette réédition de Crisis on Infinite Earths ne justifie pas son prix, pour une raison assez simple : ce n'est pas vraiment Crisis on Infinite Earths dans sa forme la plus lisible. Le problème des tie-insQuand on parle d'un énorme event DC ou Marvel, il faut comprendre une chose : ce sont des univers interconnectés. Donc forcément, toutes les séries en cours sont impactées. Ces épisodes parallèles, publiés dans d'autres séries mais liés à l'event, on appelle ça des tie-ins. Et souvent, les éditeurs publient l'histoire principale dans un tome, puis un second volume type Companion Book qui regroupe ces épisodes annexes. Mais ici, Urban a fait un choix éditorial discutable : ils ont tout mélangé. Résultat, vous lisez un chapitre de Crisis, puis vous enchaînez sur plusieurs numéros de séries annexes, parfois sans vrai contexte, avec des personnages obscurs, issus d'un univers des années 80 dont vous n'avez jamais entendu parler… et dont vous n'entendrez probablement plus jamais parler après. Un classique malgré toutMalgré tout, Marv Wolfman et George Pérez restent deux immenses artistes qui ont profondément marqué l'histoire des comics. Certes, Crisis on Infinite Earths est un récit très bavard, avec une narration typique des années 80, et une colorisation qui a clairement vieilli. Mais ça reste un pilier fondamental de l'univers DC, un événement dont les répercussions se font encore sentir aujourd'hui, même dans les histoires modernes. De mon côté, j'ai pris un vrai plaisir à découvrir la série, ne serait-ce que pour les dessins de George Pérez, qui sont tout simplement magnifiques. Chaque page déborde de détails, de personnages, d'énergie… c'est un travail monumental. Alors oui, vous ne comprendrez peut-être pas tout, et vous allez sûrement croiser des héros dont vous n'avez jamais entendu parler. Mais ça fait aussi partie de l'expérience : plonger dans un récit qui a marqué des générations de lecteurs et qui continue, encore aujourd'hui, à influencer tout l'univers DC. Donc tentez l'aventure… mais évitez cette nouvelle édition. Préférez une version plus simple, qui contient uniquement les 12 épisodes complets de la mini-série originale. Envie de découvrir d'autres events marquants ?Si cette plongée dans Crisis on Infinite Earths vous a donné envie d'explorer d'autres grands événements qui ont marqué l'histoire des comics, on vous conseille de jeter une oreille à ces épisodes de ComicsDiscovery : Flashpoint de Geoff Johns et Ivan Reis :https://jamesetfaye.fr/comicsdiscovery-s05e43-flashpoint/ X-Men : Messiah Complex :https://jamesetfaye.fr/comicsdiscovery-s03e04-x-men-le-complexe-du-messie/ Civil War de Mark Millar et Steve McNiven :https://jamesetfaye.fr/comicsdiscovery-lete-des-must-have-civil-war/ Le mot de la finMerci à toutes et tous de nous avoir suivis pour cet épisode de ComicsDiscovery consacré à Crisis on Infinite Earths de Marv Wolfman et George Pérez. Avec cet événement mythique, on s'est attaqué à l'un des récits les plus importants de l'histoire de DC Comics, celui qui a bouleversé le multivers et marqué des générations de lecteurs. Même si l'œuvre a forcément vieilli sur certains aspects, elle reste un pilier incontournable pour comprendre l'univers DC moderne et l'héritage des grandes sagas éditoriales. On se retrouve très vite pour de nouvelles découvertes comics.

Arte Sequenziale è una rubrica incentrata sul mondo dei fumetti e nello specifico su serie o storie autoconclusive a fumetti che meriterebbero maggior considerazioni dagli intenditori come dai neofiti. I mutanti rischiano l'estinzione. Eppure qualcosa sta cambiando: un bambino mutante è nato! C'è che vuole trovarlo per salvarlo, chi per renderlo il Messia della razza mutante, chi vuole utilizzarlo per i propri scopi e chi vuole ucciderlo. Ecco a voi "Messiah Complex", una delle saghe più drammatiche e fondamentali della storia editoriali degli X-Men di casa Marvel.

Our X-men crusade reaches its half way point as we talk about the messy but fun event Messiah Complex. Wanda said "No More Mutants" but now there is one. So that's a pretty big deal if you ask me.

We take a look at the X-men Crossover event known as Messiah Complex which came out in the Mid 2000s. This is one of Kyle's favourite X-men events and CY's first time reading it. Sorry that this a long one but we discussed every issue and kinda forgot about time. If you are a fellow X-men fan and read this.

In 2007, a three-part saga meant to reset and redefine the X-Universe in the wake of "House of M" and Scarlet Witch's "no more mutants" declaration was kicked off with "X-Men: Messiah Complex." But, hey, we already talked about that (see Episode #79). This time, we turn our attention to the second chapter of the trilogy, the 2009 Cable & X-Force crossover event, "Messiah War." This story sees Cable and a young Hope Summers (the first mutant born after "House of M," as introduced in "Messiah Complex") jumping through time, on the run from a now villainous(?) Lucas Bishop, who is intent on murdering Hope to prevent an apocalyptic future he believes she will bring about. Joined by both Deadpool and X-Force, the secret black ops X-team recently commissioned by Cyclops to permanently eliminate threats to mutants, Cable and Hope will have to battle not only Bishop, but also classic X-villains Stryfe and Apocalypse. Does this second chapter live up to the first, and is it still - years later - an essential read for X-fans? But first, in another installment of "Mutant Match-Up," two lesser known x-women are pitted against each other in physical combat. Plus, we discuss the news of James Gunn being fired from the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise, and what it might mean for the entertainment world. All this and more, so listen on!
