TASKMASTER #1 (of 4)

Cover by ALEX GARNER

The fan-favorite anti-hero from AVENGERS: INITIATIVE explodes into his
own mini-series! Taskmaster has trained hench-thugs for every terrorist
organization and criminal cartel in the Marvel Universe. So when the
rumor starts that he's turned traitor and now works for STEVE ROGERS, a
billion-dollar bounty is put on his head, and every cadre of costumed
fanatics -- A.I.M., Hydra, Ultimatum, the Sons of the Serpent, everyone
-- looks to collect. Now Taskmaster has to fight hordes upon hordes of
his psychopathic students while at the same time figuring out who framed
him -- which requires him figuring out who he really is! That's right,
the man with the photographic reflexes has no memory of his true
identity -- and you'll learn the unexpected truth along with him! The
action-packed SECRET ORIGIN of Taskmaster begins here, courtesy of New
York Times bestselling writer Fred Van Lente (AMAZING SPIDER-MAN,
INCREDIBLE HERCULES, MARVEL ZOMBIES) and acclaimed artist Jefte Paolo
(DOCTOR VOODOO)!

Belle cover!

TASKMASTER #2

Written by FRED VAN LENTE Penciled by JEFTE PALO Cover by FRANCESCO MATTINA

Everyone's favorite anti-hero continues the quest for his secret origin (so secret he himself doesn't even know it) to drug war-torn Mexico, where even the billion-dollar bounty hunters of The Org, the mysterious super villain underground, fear to tread. But instead, he discovers an even more formidable threat: the newest murderous Marvel sensation, the bad guy you'll be talking about for years, or possibly minutes. Are you prepared for the senses-shattering debut of...THE DON OF THE DEAD? (Hint: No. You're not.)

Ha ha, Don of the dead, ça me rappelle le nom d'un chanteur d'un obscure groupe américain...

En parlant de tueur, qu'est devenu l'assassin nommé Underground apparu dernièrement dans Civil War (avec Hammerhead et Kingpin) ??

tu es sur de son nom ? ca ne me dit rien

Dans mon souvenir c'est ça.

Après vérification : c'est Underworld !

ok, en fait non il n'a jamais été réutilisé depuis

C'est bien ce qu'il me semblait. Il a eu aussi une mini-série ; je l'ai connu dans un one-shot sur Civil War et, bon, malgré son efficacité et sa duplicité, il n'avait pas l'air exceptionnel.

si quand même il a un pouvoir autoguerisseur (comme tous les personnages marvel), il a des capacités physiques au dessus de la normale et surtout des lunettes parballes et ça c'est la classe

Soudain ça a plus de gueule !

Dommage qu'il soit mis de côté... Il aurait pu être utilisé dans Shadowland !

avec bullseye, elektra et lady bullseye, il y a de la concurrence dans le coin

GUEST-STARRING
NICK FURY AND STEVE ROGERS, SUPER-SOLDIER! Fan-favorite anti-hero
Taskmaster and his thoroughly involuntary sidekick/love interest
Mercedes Merced are on the precipice of unlocking Tasky's secret origin,
which is so secret even he doesn't know what it is. The final leg of
the journey involves storming a foreboding Bavarian castle ... high in
the South American Andes? And if that wasn't bizarre enough, Taskmaster
finds goose-stepping Seig-Heiling death in "THE TOWN WHERE EVERYONE IS
HITLER". You need to read it to believe it! We guarantee you won't read a
stranger tale this year without the benefit of chemical enhancement!

premier numéro lu. c'est sympa, on sent la patte de van lente, le côté graphique suit. intéressant de voir taskmaster sans son masque, et un peu en colère.
après, la ligne narrative, c'est un peu déjà vu, mais les dialogues sont cools, et les gangs de méchants sont excellents.
