Spirit [Série]

THE SPIRIT #1

Written by MARK SCHULTZ • Co-feature written by Dennis O’Neil • Art by MORITAT
Co-feature art by Bill Sienkiewicz • Cover by LADR÷NN • 1:10 variant cover by MARK SCHULTZ

The Spirit returns in an all-new ongoing series! Central City destroys
everyone who lives within its borders...so it’s a good thing The Spirit
already died once! International crime syndicate The Golden Tree wants
to help Central City’s Octopus consolidate control over the underworld
and the Spirit is the kind of mess the Golden Tree was created to clean
up. They’ve offered the Octopus the services of one of their finest
assassins to take his breath away for good – and the sight of this
killer would get anyone’s heart pounding!
This issue also features the debut of the eight-page THE SPIRIT: BLACK
& WHITE co-feature, showcasing the industry’s finest talent. And
who better to kick things off than DENNIS O’NEIL and BILL SIENKIEWICZ?

Oh les cons, ils nous refourguent le Spirit de Miller
Visiblement ils veulent s'éloigner la précédente série commencée par Cooke qui se voulait un brin rigolote, dommage.
L'histoire en n&b de huit pages par O'Neill et Sienkiewicz ça par contre ça pourrait valoir le coup d'oeil (sans pour autant jeter tout de suite des pierres sur les futurs scénarios de Schultz).

BLACK & WHITE, modern fiction master Harlan Ellison teams with the
brilliant Kyle Baker (WEDNESDAY COMICS) to bring an adventure right to
the Spirit's backyard - Wildwood Cemetery!
