My minor nitpick is that Ennis version of Frank Castle is rather "dry" cocktail-wise. So this run can't provide much stuff for the drinks and comics analysis (a thing that blog tries to do when its author doesn't muse on Daredevil pictures). But sometimes, things can start from a minor item, very remotely linked to cocktails, if related at all.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le Punisher MAX par Garth Ennis est à ce jour ma version préférée du personnage et un des meilleurs runs que j'ai pu lire ces dernières années. Un reproche, toutefois : le Punisher par Ennis n'est pas un grand buveur, ce qui fournit peu de matière pour la comixologie (ce à quoi ce blog est sensé s'atteler lorsque son auteur ne se contente pas de poster des dessins de Daredevil). Mais parfois, il suffit d'un petit quelque chose pour fournir un lien.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;The second to last arc of Ennis on the series was titled "Long Cold Dark" and for a while, I felt it might also be a good cocktail name. The story in a nutshell : Frank versus returning big bad foe Barracuda with Frank's newfound daughter in the middle. An extremely violent tale but one filled with touching glances at the Punisher's remains of humanity.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Hence my quest to create a cocktail recipe matching this story's greatness.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L'avant dernier story-arc d'Ennis sur la série MAX s'intitule "&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.fr/product-reviews/078512814X/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;showViewpoints=1"&gt;Long Cold Dark&lt;/a&gt;" et ce titre m'a toujours semblé être un potentiel nom de cocktail. Résumé du récit : Frank Castle est confronté au retour du terrible Barracuda avec dans la balance la vie de sa toute petite fille dont il découvre l'existence. Une histoire très violente mais émaillée de moments touchants, effleurant les restes d'humanité du Punisher.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;As I said, Garth Ennis writes Frank Castle mostly as a non-drinker, so if Frank had to drink something called "Long Cold Dark", it might only be a huge pot of cold coffee.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;But let's expand suspension of disbelief and explore potential drinks.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;First it seems quite obvious a cocktail with this name should be a long drink, cold (like most of the cocktails) and dark. That last one is the true limiting factor.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;I might have gone with a rum and coke but that would have been too much of a cheat.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;But then, I stumbled across some cans of Ginger Beer in an asian shop (Ginger Beer is not very easy to find in France)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/TRo6soTRbzI/AAAAAAAABDQ/tZLenAe1sWY/s1600/PunisherCoffee.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 350px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/TRo6soTRbzI/AAAAAAAABDQ/tZLenAe1sWY/s400/PunisherCoffee.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5555817628721835826" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Frank is tough enough to drink cold coffee&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le café froid ne fait pas peur au Punisher&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le Punisher d'Ennis étant non-buveur, s'il fallait coller à l'esprit du run pour trouver une boisson nommé 'Long Cold Dark", on se retrouverait sans doute avec un grand verre de café froid.&lt;br /&gt;Aussi, messieurs les puristes, il faudra pour la suite de l'article intensifier votre suspension d'incrédulité.&lt;br /&gt;Le breuvage idoine se devrait d'être un long drink, froid et... de couleur sombre. Ce dernier point étant le plus problématique.&lt;br /&gt;Un rhum-coca pour faire l'affaire mais ça serait quand même un peu de l'arnaque.&lt;br /&gt;Et puis je suis tombé sur des canettes de bière au gingembre dans une épicerie asiatique (je n'en avais jusqu'alors jamais acheté).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Then I tried to tinkered the "Dark and Stormy", based on dark rum, ginger beer and lime juice.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;I thought replacing the rum with bourbon and adding bitters might result in something interesting... well, not really. The drink was not very dark nor tasty. Adding some cold coffee was the last step before pouring the glass down the drain.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;J'ai alors essayé une variante du Dark and Stormy, cocktail à base de rhum, bière de gingembre et jus de citron vert. J'ai remplacé le rhum par du bourbon, ajouté un peu de bitters pour un résultat bof, bof. Pas très sombre et goût pas terrible. L'ajout de café froid à la mixture fut la dernière étape avant le vidage dans l'évier.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;I had to find another idea. I considered an Irish Coffee with a skull motif traced on the cream atop the glass but it's supposed to be a cold drink and never tried to draw anything on cream. Plus, cream is white, it wouldn't quite match with the cocktail's name anymore !&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Je devais trouver une autre idée. Je songeais à une variante d'un Irish Coffe avec une tête de mort dessinée sur la crème. Mais je recherchais un cocktail froid et le dessin sur crème, je le sentais moyen. De plus, celle-ci étant blanche, cela ne correspondait pas à la "noirceur" recherchée.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;I then gave up aiming at a dark black final color and went with this :&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;J'ai finalement renoncé à une couleur trop sombre et suis parti là-dessus :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;1 1/2 oz of Appleton Estate Extra Rum&lt;/span&gt; / 4,5 cl de rhum Appleton Extra 12 ans d'âge&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;1 oz of sweet vermouth&lt;/span&gt; /3 cl de vermouth doux&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;1 oz oz of lime juice &lt;/span&gt;/3 cl de jus de citron vert&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;1/2 oz of Grand Marnier&lt;/span&gt; / 1,5 cl de Grand Marnier&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt; a dash of bitters (angostura, Peychaud or else, your choice)&lt;/span&gt; / quelques traits de bitters&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Stirr in long tall glass, add ice cubes, fill with ginger beer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mélanger dans un grand verre, ajouter des glaçons compléter avec la bière de gingembre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/TRo6tAnJNuI/AAAAAAAABDg/mJKIccJuT5w/s1600/IMG_3043.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/TRo6tAnJNuI/AAAAAAAABDg/mJKIccJuT5w/s400/IMG_3043.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5555817635247634146" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Well, not so dark&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pas si sombre, ce cocktail&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Well, it turned out not great but drinkable. If your ever try it, pre-chill the glass and use a score of cubes so you won't add to much ginger beer. It would overwhelm the other ingredients.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le résultat, sans être génial, était buvable. Si jamais vous essayez d'en faire un, rafraichissez le verre par avance et remplissez bien le verre de glaçons pour ne pas avoir à rajouter trop de bière de gingembre, elle risquerait de dominer le goût des autres ingrédients.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/TRo6s30Y9vI/AAAAAAAABDY/QliJUwVaaS4/s1600/LongColdDark.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 314px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/TRo6s30Y9vI/AAAAAAAABDY/QliJUwVaaS4/s400/LongColdDark.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5555817632887273202" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;I had to sneak a DD in my 100th post&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Une apparition de DD dans ce 100ème post&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;As it's my 100th post, I wanted to give a nod to my wife and my daughter.

Dans celui-ci, je considèrerai un tournant plus radical pour le personnage : un changement d'allégeance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Red Devil of USSR / Le Diable Rouge d'URSS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;The Black Widow is my favorite female partner for Matt.

But what if she had been a double agent and had managed to convince Matt to join the Soviet Union ?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Daredevil might have joined the Reds...&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;When I googled the russian translation of Red Devil, I got : &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);" id="result_box" class="short_text" lang="ru"&gt;&lt;span style="" title=""&gt;дьявол&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="" title=""&gt; красный&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Hence the letters on the uniform.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/TM2qKT9WqSI/AAAAAAAABCI/q3BB4Gmy6_8/s1600/DD+Red+Guardian.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 286px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/TM2qKT9WqSI/AAAAAAAABCI/q3BB4Gmy6_8/s400/DD+Red+Guardian.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5534266611241232674" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La Veuve Noire est ma partenaire préférée pour Matt. Je l'ai déjà affirmé à plusieurs reprises. Mais que ce serait-il passé si elle avait été un agent double chargée de recruter Matt ?&lt;br /&gt;Le Diable Rouge aurait pu passer à l'Est.&lt;br /&gt;En recherchant la traduction russe pour Diable Rouge sur Google, j'ai obtenu : &lt;span id="result_box" class="short_text" lang="ru"&gt;&lt;span style="" title=""&gt;дьявол&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="" title=""&gt; красный&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;D'où les lettres sur l'uniforme.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Daredevil&lt;/span&gt; Noir&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;There's been a mini on this topic but though very well illustrated, I felt the story was too predictable. When placing DD in a "noir" universe, why not totally redistribute the cards and making him a Crime Boss with at is sides, Karen Page as the blonde babe and Foggy Nelson as a Hitman ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/TM2qKs9CcUI/AAAAAAAABCQ/nf-yywWUskg/s1600/DD+Noir.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 286px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/TM2qKs9CcUI/AAAAAAAABCQ/nf-yywWUskg/s400/DD+Noir.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5534266617950794050" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il y a eu une mini-série sur cette thématique mais malgré de très chouettes illus par Tomm Cokker, j'ai trouvé l'intrigue un poil trop convenue. Tant qu'à plonger Daredevil dans un univers noir, pourquoi ne pas considérer une position plus ambigue pour le personnage ? Daredevil en roi de la pègre avec, à ses côtés, Karen Page en jolie poupée et Foggy Nelson en porte-flingue, qu'est-ce que vous en dites ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Captain Chicken&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;I had fun with the two musings above but for me DD is and shall be a hero. An ambiguous one, maybe, but a hero. That's why Shadowland is just blah for me. And I'd trade all the dark atmosphere of this recent years for a lighter tone.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Captain Chicken is the costume Matt might have had if his school-mates had called him with a different nickname (as told in this &lt;a href="http://greyshade-city.pagesperso-orange.fr/photogallery/photo00000794/What%20If%20-%20Daredevil%20total%20eng.jpg"&gt;fanfic/fanart&lt;/a&gt; I did a few years ago).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/TM2qK_wGFkI/AAAAAAAABCY/ZisMhagwk_I/s1600/Captain+Chicken.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 291px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/TM2qK_wGFkI/AAAAAAAABCY/ZisMhagwk_I/s400/Captain+Chicken.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5534266622996780610" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Les deux destinées alternatives me sembleraient intéressantes à explorer mais pour moi, DD est et devrait rester un héros. C'est pourquoi Shadowland me laisse plutôt froid. Et je troquerais volontiers les ambiances sombres de ces dernières années contre un peu plus de légèreté.&lt;br /&gt;Captain Chicken, c'est l'alter-ego qu'aurait pu adopter Matt si ses méchants petits camarades d'école l'avait affublé d'un autre sobriquet (comme raconté dans ce &lt;a href="http://greyshade-city.pagesperso-orange.fr/photogallery/photo00000794/What%20If%20-%20Daredevil%20total.jpg"&gt;fanart/fanfic&lt;/a&gt; que j'avais fait il y a quelques années).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Catégorie : Blogging_Comics&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2028892231567609462-2418504509863502598?l=redshaker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://redshaker.blogspot.com/feeds/2418504509863502598/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2028892231567609462&amp;postID=2418504509863502598' title='2 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2028892231567609462/posts/default/2418504509863502598'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2028892231567609462/posts/default/2418504509863502598'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://redshaker.blogspot.com/2010/10/dd-different-destinies.html' title='DD : Different Destinies'/><author><name>JP Nguyen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03451668699641615987</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/TMvr46bhnwI/AAAAAAAABBo/hbUA2jhhsj0/S220/Profil.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/TM2qKT9WqSI/AAAAAAAABCI/q3BB4Gmy6_8/s72-c/DD+Red+Guardian.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2028892231567609462.post-8644895687540966626</id><published>2010-10-24T22:21:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2010-10-24T22:33:01.722+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='daredevil alternate'/><title type='text'>DD : Different Designs</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;About a year ago, I posted a &lt;a href="http://redshaker.blogspot.com/2009/08/alternate-costumes.html"&gt;series&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://redshaker.blogspot.com/2009/08/alternate-costumes-and-powers.html"&gt;of&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://redshaker.blogspot.com/2009/08/more-alternate-costumes-and-powers.html"&gt;drawings&lt;/a&gt; musing with Daredevil's costume.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Since, I 've come across &lt;a href="http://superherococo.blogspot.com/2010/07/daredevil.html"&gt;some cool stuff&lt;/a&gt; by other DD fans.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Myself, I had a few ideas left but no time to materialize them. But in the last few days, I managed to take some time to draw. As I wanted to work as fast as I could, the colors were done directly on paper with markers and the text only was computer-added.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il y a plus d'un an, j'avais dessiné &lt;a href="http://redshaker.blogspot.com/2009/08/alternate-costumes.html"&gt;quelques&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://redshaker.blogspot.com/2009/08/alternate-costumes-and-powers.html"&gt;variantes&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://redshaker.blogspot.com/2009/08/more-alternate-costumes-and-powers.html"&gt;amusantes&lt;/a&gt; de costumes de DD.&lt;br /&gt;Depuis, j'ai pu voir &lt;a href="http://superherococo.blogspot.com/2010/07/daredevil.html"&gt;d'autres illustrations&lt;/a&gt; faites par des fans.&lt;br /&gt;De mon côté, j'avais encore quelques idées mais pas de temps pour les mettre sur papier, jusqu'à la semaine dernière... Souhaitant faire au plus vite, j'ai colorisé au feutre et rajouté le lettrage par ordi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;So, by chronological order of making (and reverse order of timeline), I'm bringing you :&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Et voilà, par ordre de création (et ordre chronologique inversé) :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;The futuristic Daredevil : where (and when) no man without fear has gone before.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;I know there's already been one or two 2099 versions but hey, the future is still to be written, after all.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Star Trek gave me the inspiration for the black and red design and the mask kinda evokes in me the Batman Beyond character. I gave him an energy stick (though it looks like a short lightsaber, it's less lethal) as a futuristic upgrade of his billy club.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;His story ? In a very distant century, one of Matt Murdock's cell is cloned by a bunch of scientists hoping to revive the great heroes of the past. But the process is altered by a sabotage of "you name it" fundamentalists and the clone is blind. Shortly after, the group of scientist is slaughtered and Daredevil is revived. Up to him to avenge his "fathers" !&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/TMSW7w93B1I/AAAAAAAABAs/MFT9cEOdMMo/s1600/Futuristic+DD.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 283px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/TMSW7w93B1I/AAAAAAAABAs/MFT9cEOdMMo/s400/Futuristic+DD.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531712195818620754" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le Daredevil futuriste : là où aucun homme (même sans peur) n'est allé.&lt;br /&gt;Il y a certes eu des versions "2099" de Daredevil mais, bon, le futur reste toujours à écrire, non ?&lt;br /&gt;Le look général m'a été inspiré par les uniformes de Star Trek et le costume de Batman : la relève. Ce DD arbore une matraque d'énergie (ça ressemble à un sabre laser en plus court mais ce n'est pas aussi mortel) à la place de l'antique lasso-canne.&lt;br /&gt;Son histoire ? Dans un lointain futur, une cellule de Matt Murdock est clonée par un groupe de savants souhaitant ressusciter les grands héros du passé. Mais le processus est perturbé par un groupe d'activistes et le clone créé est aveugle. Peu de temps après, les savants sont executés et Daredevil est de retour. A lui de venger la mort de ses "pères" !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;The College Boy Daredevil : a look without fear.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Matt Murdock is from working class extraction. But what if Jack Murdock had managed his career better ? His son might have been  a happy-go-lucky college boy trained by Master Izo himself instead of Stick. After all, Elektra herself was a wealthy girl, trained to join the cast.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;About the "costume" : the american college jacket is a classic and  it just begged to be decorated with a double D. On the shoes : I thought sneakers would be appropriate for ninja training.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/TMSW7iGJTyI/AAAAAAAABAk/S45qfsCtw6w/s1600/College+boy+DD.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 346px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/TMSW7iGJTyI/AAAAAAAABAk/S45qfsCtw6w/s400/College+boy+DD.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531712191826841378" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Daredevil version "American College" : un look intrépide.&lt;br /&gt;Matt Murdock est d'origine sociale modeste. Mais que se serait-il passé si Jack Murdock avait eu plus de succès dans sa carrière ? Son fils aurait pu avoir une jeunesse dorée entrainé par le jovial Maître Izo à la place de Stick? Après tout, Elektra était aussi d'un milieu aisé et elle a été entraînée pour rejoindre les Chastes.&lt;br /&gt;A propos des vêtements : la veste American College est un classique qui ne demandait qu'à être orné d'un "DD". Pour les chaussures : les sneakers me semblaient appropriées pour un élève ninja.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;The Feodal Japan Daredevil : a Red Ronin.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Before Shadowland, DD had just taken control of the Hand and his minions had "DD-like" ninja-costumes. But for DD himself, we had to wait for the main event to begin to get... a mildly interesting costume (for me, the blades on the wrists are neither functional or good looking). So I had to try my take on a Japanized DD.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;I modified the ninja costume of Batman Begins and added a Kabuto (to  strike fear in the heart of his opponents) and a Kusarigama (with a  chain evoking the billy-club lasso, only deadlier).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;The possible story : in feodal Japan, a Ninja quits the Hand to follow his own path. Alone and tracked by his former associates, he becomes a warrior without Master and a man without fear.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/TMSW8X9DZgI/AAAAAAAABA0/j33R1gDb9Sg/s1600/Japanese+DD.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 282px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/TMSW8X9DZgI/AAAAAAAABA0/j33R1gDb9Sg/s400/Japanese+DD.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531712206284219906" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le Daredevil du Japon feodal : un Ronin Rouge.&lt;br /&gt;Avant "Shadowland", DD avait pris le contrôle de la Main et ses partisans se sont retrouvés affublés de tenues modifiées à la sauce DD. Mais pour DD lui-même, il fallut attendre l'event pour découvrir... un costume plutôt bof (pour moi, les lames sur les poignets ne sont ni fonctionnelles ni esthétiques). Je me devais d'essayer de pondre ma propre version japonisante.&lt;br /&gt;J'ai modifié le costume de ninja de Batman Begins et rajouté un Kabuto (pour effrayer les ennemis) et un Kusarigama (faucille-chaîne évoquant le lasso-canne mais en plus dangereux).&lt;br /&gt;L'intrigue potentielle : au Japon féodal, un ninja quitte la Main pour suivre sa propre voie. Seul et traqué par ses anciens pairs, il devient un guerrier sans maître et un homme sans peur.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Let me know what you think of it !&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A l'occasion, faites moi savoir ce que vous en pensez...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Catégorie : Blogging_Comics&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2028892231567609462-8644895687540966626?l=redshaker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://redshaker.blogspot.com/feeds/8644895687540966626/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2028892231567609462&amp;postID=8644895687540966626' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2028892231567609462/posts/default/8644895687540966626'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2028892231567609462/posts/default/8644895687540966626'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://redshaker.blogspot.com/2010/10/dd-different-designs.html' title='DD : Different Designs'/><author><name>JP Nguyen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03451668699641615987</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/TMvr46bhnwI/AAAAAAAABBo/hbUA2jhhsj0/S220/Profil.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/TMSW7w93B1I/AAAAAAAABAs/MFT9cEOdMMo/s72-c/Futuristic+DD.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2028892231567609462.post-7304334030815344289</id><published>2010-10-17T17:52:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2010-10-17T18:03:30.866+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='daredevil'/><title type='text'>Looking for a new job ?</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Not much time for blogging, but here's a pic I've done some months ago, for a french fanzine (don't even know if it made the final cut...), featuring some well-known Daredevil villains.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Un dessin que j'avais envoyé pour le portfolio Super-Vilains de Scarce 75 (ne l'ayant pas lu, j'ignore si il a pu être casé).

The creative teams were good but the book was a bit under the radar.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Nowadays, that has changed with Shadowland. "Careful what you wish for."&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Unfortunately, this event doesn't thrill me that much. I've commented on other blogs that it's a kind of World War Hulk Redux for me. DD goes mad, takes on NYC, other heroes will fail until the last chapter where dumb DD will realize he's been played.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Next arc, please.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Les fans de DD qui auraient longtemps souhaité une plus grande exposition pour leur perso fétiche doivent se mordre les doigts : Shadowland donne un coup de projecteur sur DD mais lui donne un éclairage plutôt raté. Notre héros passe du mauvais côté, va bastonner ses ex-collègues avant, sans doute, de réaliser son erreur au dernier chapitre.&lt;br /&gt;Je passe mon tour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/TIKzOMRLRpI/AAAAAAAABAU/oqOaJd3BSpw/s1600/DD+giant+letters+colors+med.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 285px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/TIKzOMRLRpI/AAAAAAAABAU/oqOaJd3BSpw/s400/DD+giant+letters+colors+med.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513165950247716498" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For me, classic DD with red costume can't be back soon enough.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A quand le retour du bon vieux tête à cornes ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Catégorie : Blogging_Comics&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2028892231567609462-5108375679621228814?l=redshaker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://redshaker.blogspot.com/feeds/5108375679621228814/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2028892231567609462&amp;postID=5108375679621228814' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2028892231567609462/posts/default/5108375679621228814'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2028892231567609462/posts/default/5108375679621228814'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://redshaker.blogspot.com/2010/09/shadowland-not-my-cup-of-tea.html' title='Shadowland : not my cup of tea'/><author><name>JP Nguyen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03451668699641615987</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/TMvr46bhnwI/AAAAAAAABBo/hbUA2jhhsj0/S220/Profil.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/TIKzOMRLRpI/AAAAAAAABAU/oqOaJd3BSpw/s72-c/DD+giant+letters+colors+med.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2028892231567609462.post-2263357491633966768</id><published>2010-08-09T22:01:00.005+02:00</published><updated>2010-08-10T19:43:37.732+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bitter'/><title type='text'>Custom Bitters</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Real life doesn't leave me much time to blog, but I shouldn't get bitter, should I ?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Instead, let's get some bitters !&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Je n'ai guère le temps d'updater ce blog mais j'essaye de ne pas trop en concevoir d'amertume... quoique.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;A strong hint of cocktail-geekery is a large collection of bitters. When you know you mostly use bitters in dashes only, what's the point to stock plenty of bottles? Why not sticking to Angostura only ? Well, it would be like cooking with only one spice. Bitters are the spice of the cocktail.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Un indice du syndrome cocktailien aigü est la collection de bitters. Quand on sait qu'ils ne s'utilisent que par traits, à quoi bon les accumuler ? Ne pourrait-on se limiter qu'à l'Angostura ? Oui, si on pense pouvoir cuisiner avec une seule épice. Ouais, voilà le truc, les bitters sont des épices à cocktail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Let's hear what Doctor JP has to say about them :&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;"Bitters, they are the totally necessary optional ingredient in cocktails. You might not notice&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;what they bring precisely but you'll surely notice their absence.

Les bitters assurent un assaisonnement ninja pour vos boissons."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Earlier this year, I went beyond the psychogical number of ten bitters stocked in my bar. So the next step was to make my own. For my first try, I used liqueur de gentiane, cardamom, cranberries and others spirits to get a mixture that's been sitting in my cabinet for a few months now. It was waiting for its own label, that I only finished today.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ces derniers mois, j'ai dépassé la limite psychologique des dix bitters dans mon bar. L'étape suivante était de faire ma propre recette. Pour mon premier essai, j'ai pris de la liqueur de gentiane, de la cardamome, des cranberries et divers autre spritueux pour composer un mélange qui patientait dans une armoire depuis quelques mois en attente de son étiquette, achevée aujourd'hui.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;So here they are : the Red Bitters!&lt;/span&gt; Et voilà le Red Bitters !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/TGGPbDAHaZI/AAAAAAAAA_k/rCb6XxqqIRI/s1600/IMG_2741.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/TGGPbDAHaZI/AAAAAAAAA_k/rCb6XxqqIRI/s400/IMG_2741.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503837914448488850" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;As my batch was made without precise measurements,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;my bitters are really "without peer"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Catégorie : Blogging_Cocktails&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2028892231567609462-2263357491633966768?l=redshaker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://redshaker.blogspot.com/feeds/2263357491633966768/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2028892231567609462&amp;postID=2263357491633966768' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2028892231567609462/posts/default/2263357491633966768'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2028892231567609462/posts/default/2263357491633966768'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://redshaker.blogspot.com/2010/08/custom-bitters.html' title='Custom Bitters'/><author><name>JP Nguyen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03451668699641615987</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/TMvr46bhnwI/AAAAAAAABBo/hbUA2jhhsj0/S220/Profil.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/TGGPawE7vdI/AAAAAAAAA_c/_O74EDKykCc/s72-c/IMG_2736.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2028892231567609462.post-2889868283314022901</id><published>2010-04-18T15:05:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2010-04-18T23:07:01.244+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mai tai'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rhum'/><title type='text'>Superhero Mai-Tais : Idol of Millions</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Here's another superhero variation of the Mai Tai (read previous posts of the series &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://redshaker.blogspot.com/2009/05/superheroes-mai-tais.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://redshaker.blogspot.com/2009/11/mai-tai-without-fear-n1.html"&gt;there&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://redshaker.blogspot.com/2010/03/another-variation.html"&gt;there&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;Voici une nouvelle variante super-héroïque du Mai Tai (précédents épisodes &lt;a href="http://redshaker.blogspot.com/2009/05/superheroes-mai-tais.html"&gt;ici&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://redshaker.blogspot.com/2009/11/mai-tai-without-fear-n1.html"&gt;là&lt;/a&gt; et &lt;a href="http://redshaker.blogspot.com/2010/03/another-variation.html"&gt;là&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;As Mai Tai variations are dedicated to larger-than-life, superlative characters, this time, it's an homage to the blue-eyed Thing, the member of the Fantastic Four who modestly calls himself : the Idol of Millions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;For Mr Benjamin J. Grimm, I had the idea of a more orange-y Mai Tai.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Comme ces déclinaisons du Mai Tai sont dédiées à des personnages ayant un certain goût pour la démesure, cette fois, l'hommage s'adresse à la Chose aux yeux bleus, le membre des quatre Fantastiques qui se surnomme lui-même : l'idole des foules.&lt;br /&gt;Pour Ben Grimm, j'ai concocté un Mai Tai plus... orange.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;1 oz of aged rum (Appleton 12)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt; /&lt;/span&gt;3 cl de rhum âgé (Appleton 12)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;1 oz of Clement Creole Shrubb&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt; /&lt;/span&gt;3 cl de shrubb Clement (liqueur de rhum-orange)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;1/2 oz of Apricot Brandy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt; /&lt;/span&gt;1,5 cl d'abricot Brandy&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;1/2 oz of orgeat syrup /&lt;/span&gt;1,5 cl de sirop d'orgeat&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;3/4 oz of lime juice /&lt;/span&gt;2 cl de jus de citron vert&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;2 dashes of orange bitters (I opened the bottle of Regan's I recently received)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 trait d'orange bitters (j'ai étrenné ma bouteille de Regan's)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/S8sEJOApihI/AAAAAAAAA-Q/ULRI8DLE1c8/s1600/IMG_2313b.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/S8sEJOApihI/AAAAAAAAA-Q/ULRI8DLE1c8/s400/IMG_2313b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5461463529543010834" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Yellow color but orange taste&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;couleur jaune mais goût orange&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Shake and serve in a double rocks glass (I didn't take time to crush ice for this one but my glass was pre-chilled and the ice cubes used for shaking gave a more "rocky" look to the drink).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Garnish : lime shell, brandied apricot, pineapple chunk.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shaker et servir dans un verre double rocks (je n'ai pas pris le temps de piler de la glace mais mon verre était rafraîchi et les glaçons ayant servi à shaker ont donné un air plus "rocailleux" au cocktail)&lt;br /&gt;Déco : moitié de citron vert pressé, un abricot à la liqueur et un morceau d'ananas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Tasting notes : it's quite good !

But then, I gathered all my memories and here it is...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Je voulais poster un dernier article pour 2009 et je pensais qu'un petit best-of serait à la fois approprié et facile. Je me suis ensuite rendu compte que le compte, justement, n'y serait peut être pas (je n'ai pas tant lu ni bu cette année). Mais en rassemblant tous mes souvenirs, j'y suis arrivé.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;My Top Ten of comics and drinks of 2009&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;Mon Top 10 de BD et boissons pour 2009&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Number 10 : &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Cairo-G-Willow-Wilson/dp/1401217346/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=books&amp;amp;qid=1262028561&amp;amp;sr=1-1"&gt;Cairo&lt;/a&gt; &amp;amp; the &lt;a href="http://www.cocktaildb.com/recipe_detail?id=4075"&gt;Aviation&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SznfVei_HPI/AAAAAAAAA5o/GMvAdOx7CJY/s1600-h/Cairo_400x600.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SznfVei_HPI/AAAAAAAAA5o/GMvAdOx7CJY/s400/Cairo_400x600.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420609186587155698" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;A violet cover and a violet cocktail&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No, Cairo wasn't released this year but the list is about what I &lt;/span&gt;&lt;u style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;read&lt;/u&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt; this year.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Speaking of lists, it was on my Amazon wishlist and I got it as a birthday present from my wife.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;An unusual comic-book, a complete story with sepia art and colorful characters : a genie, an American expatriate, an Israeli soldier, a student, a journalist.

And yes, technically, Zipang is a manga.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;I borrowed issues 1-4 from a fellow reader and that's quite good.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;The story in a nuttshell : "&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080736/"&gt;The Final Countdown&lt;/a&gt;" movie, only in a manga, from the Japanese side and with a wider, long-term view.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;I don't rate it higher cause I haven't read enough and the series is not finished (already more than 20 TPBs...). Also, I might not have the occasion to read more. Like the Singapore Sling, it's good stuff but were I to choose, there are always other stuff I like better.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="%20http://lh5.ggpht.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SAtzMoPvI_I/AAAAAAAAAAc/JiL4UZFcRjQ/s400/IMG_0231.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SAtzMoPvI_I/AAAAAAAAAAc/JiL4UZFcRjQ/s400/IMG_0231.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420609179994085826" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-style: italic;"&gt;A cocktail with a "sail" garnish kinda fits for a "naval" war story....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Les deux sont liés à l'asie et Zipang est même un manga, dont j'ai emprunté les 4 premiers volumes à un pote. En résumé : "&lt;a href="http://www.allocine.fr/film/fichefilm_gen_cfilm=36164.html"&gt;Nimitz, retour vers l'enfer&lt;/a&gt;" version manga, vu côté japonais et avec une perspective élargie.&lt;br /&gt;Je ne le note pas mieux car je n'en ai pas lu davantage et que la série n'est pas terminée (déjà d'une vingtaine de volumes). Je ne sais d'ailleurs pas si j'en lirai plus. Comme le Singapore Sling, c'est du bon mais à la réflexion, il y a d'autres choses qui me plaisent davantage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;Number 8 : &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/100-Bullets-Vol-First-Shot/dp/1563896451/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=books&amp;amp;qid=1262028513&amp;amp;sr=8-1"&gt;100 Bullets&lt;/a&gt; &amp;amp; the &lt;a href="http://www.drinkboy.com/Cocktails/Recipe.aspx?itemid=121"&gt;Old Fashioned&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SznfVF_E2cI/AAAAAAAAA5g/VE0nuKCsRDU/s1600-h/100B_Wilt_400x600.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SznfVF_E2cI/AAAAAAAAA5g/VE0nuKCsRDU/s400/100B_Wilt_400x600.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420609179994085826" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;A green cover with a grinning Graves&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;but a series past its prime&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;A surprising low rating for what used to be my favorite series that ended this year. But I felt that past issue 50, things kinda went downhill. Still, they were good moments along the ride but I really wished the "Grand-Masterplan" foreshadowed during nearly all the series had existed. Instead, we got messy killings and random violence. Like a promising high-end spirit not really delivering the goods.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;And why the Old fashioned? The bourbon makes it as american as you can get like 100 Bullets and the recipe is deceptively simple, yet a work of art, like Eduardo Risso's pencils. It's a good drink but I haven't had much in 2009 and I feel it might not really match my tastes anymore.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Assez surprenant de voir aussi mal classée ce qui fut une de mes séries fétiches et qui s'est terminée en 2009. Mais déjà depuis le numéro 50, je trouvais que ça se barrait en cacahuète. Il y a encore plein de bons moments mais j'aurais aimé que le grand plan machiavélique de Graves, longtemps sous-entendu, soit enfin dévoilé. Mais point du tout, le dénouement n'était quasiment que bruits et fureur. Frustrant. Comme une bonne bouteille ne tenant pas ses promesses.&lt;br /&gt;Et le rapport avec le Old Fashioned ? Ce cocktail à base de bourbon a un côté américain aussi marqué que 100 Bullets et sa recette est simplissime en apparence mais demande une exécution stylée et soignée, comme le trait d'Eduardo Risso. C'est un bon cocktail mais j'en ai assez peu bu cette année et je crois qu'il ne correspond plus tout à fait à mes envies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;Number 7 : &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Parker-Hunter-Richard-Starks/dp/1600104932/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=books&amp;amp;qid=1262028770&amp;amp;sr=1-1"&gt;The Hunter&lt;/a&gt; &amp;amp; &lt;a href="http://www.whiskymag.com/whisky/brand/lagavulin/whisky94.html"&gt;Lagavulin 16&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SznmfA7EBlI/AAAAAAAAA54/tjvNPB6C2C4/s1600-h/Parker.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 358px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SznmfA7EBlI/AAAAAAAAA54/tjvNPB6C2C4/s400/Parker.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420617047015163474" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;His name is Parker but he's no wine taster&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;The adaptation of the Novel of Richard Stark (already translated to the silver screen as "Payback") by Darwyn Cooke : crime comics done the right way but with little if no surprise.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Lagavulin 16 : Islay Whisky done the right (and very best) way but maybe I know it too well for its own good.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;The kinda "sure thing".

Another iteration of "fucked-up" from the start character/story. Incognito was kinda revisiting "Sleeper" territory, only from the other side and in another universe. On a more positive note, "the Sinners" arc from Criminal started strong (with the return of my favorite Criminal character : Tracy Lawless).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Yes, to the point : Bru's run on DD ended this year and it ended on a high note. But long time readers can be unforgiving and I feel the whole run might have been so better. It started perfectly with "The Devil in Cell-block D" then progressively lost steam until the great finish of "Return of the King". A master writer, some very good artists (Lark, Aja, Mann), a nearly "DMZ" status from Marvel events, this run had everything to be exceptional and being only good is kinda disappointing. The "Last Word" is equal parts of Chartreuse, Lime juice, Gin and Maraschino. It's good, balanced, nuanced... it only lacks focus and the extra-punch, like Matt Murdock in Brubaker's run.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SzoGlDo6zoI/AAAAAAAAA6I/236nn5fFP1M/s1600-h/zzz014.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 294px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SzoGlDo6zoI/AAAAAAAAA6I/236nn5fFP1M/s800/zzz014.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420652335195672194" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Well, at least Bru introduced the funny Master Izo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Au moins, Brubaker aura introduit le rigolo Maître Izo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Les dernières productions d'Ed Brubaker m'ont un peu déçu. "Bad Night" le dernier arc complet de Criminal était bon sans plus. "Incognito" explorait un terrain... connu, celui de Sleeper, avec seulement l'inversion du point de vue (un ex-méchant chez les bons au lieu d'un agent infiltré chez les bad-guys) et un changement d'univers. En revanche, le dernier arc de Criminal en cours démarre très bien (et voit le retour de Tracy Lawless, mon personnage préféré de la série).&lt;br /&gt;Mais revenons à notre démon : le run de Bru sur Daredevil s'est terminé au numéro 500, paru en août 2009 et de belle manière. Mais je pense que cela aurait pu être encore mieux car les promesses du "Diable dans le bloc D", première histoire du run, n'ont jamais été pleinement tenues. Pourtant, avec un scénariste d'un tel calibre, des desinateurs pas manchots et un statut le mettant à l'abri des gros évènements Marvel, il y avait tous les ingrédients pour sortir un run de légende. Le "Last Word" est un cocktail à parts égales de Gin, Chartreuse, Marasquin et citron vert. Plutôt bon, équilibré, nuancé mais manquant de gros point fort, de "concentration", tout comme Matt Murdock sous la plume de Brubaker.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;Number 5 : &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Naoki-Urasawas-Monster-Vol-1/dp/1591166411/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=books&amp;amp;qid=1262029011&amp;amp;sr=1-1-spell"&gt;Monster 1-6&lt;/a&gt; &amp;amp; &lt;a href="http://rumdood.com/2008/12/11/rum-review-matusalem-gran-reserva/"&gt;Rum Matusalem Gran Reserva Solera 15&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SzoH0tBcVnI/AAAAAAAAA6Q/LQGd-buUw2E/s1600-h/Monster1cover.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 272px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SzoH0tBcVnI/AAAAAAAAA6Q/LQGd-buUw2E/s400/Monster1cover.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420653703514052210" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SzoITWB4lZI/AAAAAAAAA6Y/Q3-3kan6twY/s1600-h/matusalem-15.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 127px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SzoITWB4lZI/AAAAAAAAA6Y/Q3-3kan6twY/s320/matusalem-15.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420654229917832594" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Another manga I borrowed from another friend.

It's almost as long as "20th..." but I feel I'll never get bored (though I'll have to read the remaining issues to check that).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Matusalem Gran Reserva was a birthday gift to the same friend I borrowed the manga. Really good sipping rum.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;This series and this rum took years in the making but they're worth it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Un autre manga emprunté à un autre pote. Je connaissais "20th century boys" du même auteur mais "Monster" m'accroche plus. La série est presque aussi longue mais me parait moins diluée. A confirmer lorsque j'aurais lu toute la série.&lt;br /&gt;Le &lt;a href="http://www.cote-aperitif.com/rhum-vieux-matusalem-gran-reserva-15-ans_fr_09_cat_03_04__tsp_325.html"&gt;Matusalem&lt;/a&gt; était un cadeau d'anniv fait précisément au pote qui m'a prêté Monster. Un bon rhum de dégustation.&lt;br /&gt;Une oeuvre et un spiritueux ayant nécessité plusieurs années de gestation mais qui valent le détour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;Number 4 : &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Desolation-Jones-Warren-Ellis/dp/140121150X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=books&amp;amp;qid=1262033544&amp;amp;sr=1-1"&gt;Desolation Jones&lt;/a&gt; &amp;amp; Merlot Red Wine&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SznfVpdPYBI/AAAAAAAAA5w/XeksUzcbSRA/s1600-h/Desolation_400x600.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SznfVpdPYBI/AAAAAAAAA5w/XeksUzcbSRA/s400/Desolation_400x600.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420609189515845650" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Both are an acquirred taste and have to be chosen among a plethoric offer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Warren Ellis writes a lot of stuff, most of it is quite good or fun at least (Gravel is one of my guilty pleasure, it doesn't quite make the list because I can't remember when I exactly read it and don't own the paper issues or TPB because they're hard to find).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;The choice for red wines is even wider, but you have to choose more carefully. This year, I've targeted Merlot based wine, like Saint Emilion Grand Cru and Pomerol.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Back to Desolation Jones : it's dark but beautifully rendered by JH Williams III with a "more than meet the eyes" vibe thanks to Ellis writing. Like a good bottle of red wine, rich and gorgeous but for mature readers/drinkers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Les deux sont une affaire de goût et choisis parmi une production pléthorique.&lt;br /&gt;Warren Ellis écrit beaucoup et souvent de la bonne came (Gravel est un de mes péchés mignons, le côté mage de combat bourrin me plait bien. Je ne le mets pas dans la liste car je ne situe plus trop quand je l'ai lu et je ne possède même pas les bouquins papiers car ils sont durs à trouver).&lt;br /&gt;Il y a plus de vins rouges que de séries écrites par Ellis mais il faut les choisir avec clairvoyance. Cette année, je me suis intéressé aux vins à fort cépage Merlot comme le Pomerol et le Saint Emilion Grand Cru.&lt;br /&gt;Pour parler de Desolation Jones ; noir c'est noir mais avec de superbes planches de JH Williams III et un scénar costaud du père Ellis. Belle robe, avec du corps mais très bien structuré, pour lecteurs/buveurs avertis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;Number 3 : &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Marvel-Masterworks-Warlock-2-Hardcover/dp/B002IGE30W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=books&amp;amp;qid=1262033593&amp;amp;sr=1-1"&gt;Warlock - The Magus Saga&lt;/a&gt; &amp;amp; &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan_%28cocktail%29"&gt;The Manhattan&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;A classic story-arc I had not read yet and a classic cocktail I know quite well but still enjoy a lot.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Jim Starlin deserves superlative titles like "Grandmaster of cosmic tales" or "Supreme Cosmic Storyteller". Or you can say he's good. But really good. The Magus Saga manages to deliver over the top scenes like Warlock and Thanos fighting 25 000 knights and other more introspective moments about life, death, destiny. It packs quite some punch(es) but can also be subtle and all in all it's quite versatile, like a Manhattan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SzoNKO9II7I/AAAAAAAAA6g/P4Hi4vORKZI/s800/Warlock%2010-03.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 536px; height: 800px;" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SzoNKO9II7I/AAAAAAAAA6g/P4Hi4vORKZI/s800/Warlock%2010-03.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420659570958148530" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-style: italic;"&gt;25 000 Black Knights ? Not enough!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Un classique des années 70 et un cocktail ultra-classique mais que j'apprécie toujours autant.&lt;br /&gt;Jim Starlin est vraiment le pape des tragédies cosmiques. Plus galactique que Cristiano Ronaldo. Ou simplement bon. Voire très bon. La Saga du Magus comporte des batailles de fous furieux comme celle opposant Warlock et Thanos à 25 000 chevaliers et des moments d'introspection sur la vie, l'amour, la mort. Frappant à plusieurs niveaux et à multiples facettes, comme le Manhattan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SzoP3TaivQI/AAAAAAAAA7A/GNNHvTREtjU/s800/Warlock15p12pan1-2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 308px;" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SzoP3TaivQI/AAAAAAAAA7A/GNNHvTREtjU/s800/Warlock15p12pan1-2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420662544272637186" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-style: italic;"&gt;Alien philosophy can be depressing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;La philo extra-terrestre peut être déprimante&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;Number 2 : &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Scalped-Vol-5-High-Lonesome/dp/1401224873/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=books&amp;amp;qid=1262033626&amp;amp;sr=1-6"&gt;Scalped&lt;/a&gt; &amp;amp; &lt;a href="http://www.rumnation.com/en/products/demerara-solera-n-14.html"&gt;Rum Nation Demarara 14&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SzoSRMyQfhI/AAAAAAAAA7Q/BOiStff3_6A/s1600-h/Scalped-29+0006crop.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 499px; height: 500px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SzoSRMyQfhI/AAAAAAAAA7Q/BOiStff3_6A/s400/Scalped-29+0006crop.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420665188192910866" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Dash Bad Horse, our main "hero"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Scalped is a series about noir tales with red-skin anti-heroes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;This year we were treated with "High lonesome" and "The Gnawing" (last chapter to come in January) and I can't stop being surprised to read Jason Aaron tales about soooo-flawed, and dark, and desperate characters and find them so compelling.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Demarara 14 is aged rum.

Very strong but flavourfull and allowing &lt;a href="http://redshaker.blogspot.com/2009/05/superheroes-mai-tais.html"&gt;many&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://redshaker.blogspot.com/2009/11/mai-tai-without-fear-n1.html"&gt;different &lt;/a&gt;takes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;I felt the series and the drink deserved each other... and the first place of this Top Ten.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SzoUGpj2yVI/AAAAAAAAA7k/35mUP56u3dU/s1600-h/wildcats+17-23-crop.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 319px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SzoUGpj2yVI/AAAAAAAAA7k/35mUP56u3dU/s400/wildcats+17-23-crop.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420667205961828690" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Cool heroes for a smart comic.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Wildcats, la 2ème série, est sorti il y a des années et j'avais déjà lu la v3 de la série... mais pour la v2, je ne connaissais que quelques épisodes. J'ai commandé les 3 paperbacks au premier semestre et les ai relus récemment. Cette série était géniale. Pleine d'inventivité sans oublier d'être fun. Passant du complot pour le sort du monde à une enquête sur un super serial killer puis à des manoeuvres militaro-industrielles. Parsemée de cyborgs, de femmes fatales, d'hybrides extra-terrestres? Avec en haut de l'affiche un androïde surpuissant qui veut changer le monde et un ancien des forces super-spéciales avec une obsession pour les blondes platines.&lt;br /&gt;Le &lt;a href="http://redshaker.blogspot.com/2008/05/mai-tai.html"&gt;Mai Tai&lt;/a&gt; est un grand cocktail. Très fort mais plein de saveurs et permettant &lt;a href="http://redshaker.blogspot.com/2009/05/superheroes-mai-tais.html"&gt;moult&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://redshaker.blogspot.com/2009/11/mai-tai-without-fear-n1.html"&gt;variations&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Wildcats et le Mai Tai se correspondent plutôt bien et méritent bien la première place de ce classement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/Sk3Ct1O3V5I/AAAAAAAAAxE/s3xniziMYd0/s800/IMG_1288.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/Sk3Ct1O3V5I/AAAAAAAAAxE/s3xniziMYd0/s800/IMG_1288.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420667205961828690" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-style: italic;"&gt;I'll leave the last words to Jack Marlowe. / &lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;Je laisserai le dernier mot à Jack Marlowe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SzoUGV0YLRI/AAAAAAAAA7c/Ups2GsPRupE/s1600-h/wildcats+17-3-pan2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 288px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SzoUGV0YLRI/AAAAAAAAA7c/Ups2GsPRupE/s400/wildcats+17-3-pan2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420667200662416658" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Catégorie : Blogging_Cocktails&lt;br /&gt;Catégorie : Blogging_Comics&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2028892231567609462-3624904991295586647?l=redshaker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://redshaker.blogspot.com/feeds/3624904991295586647/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2028892231567609462&amp;postID=3624904991295586647' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2028892231567609462/posts/default/3624904991295586647'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2028892231567609462/posts/default/3624904991295586647'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://redshaker.blogspot.com/2009/12/my-2009-comics-and-drinks.html' title='My 2009 comics and drinks'/><author><name>JP Nguyen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03451668699641615987</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/TMvr46bhnwI/AAAAAAAABBo/hbUA2jhhsj0/S220/Profil.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SznfVei_HPI/AAAAAAAAA5o/GMvAdOx7CJY/s72-c/Cairo_400x600.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2028892231567609462.post-6503229162030116142</id><published>2009-11-21T13:42:00.008+01:00</published><updated>2010-04-17T22:36:52.247+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mai tai'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rhum'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='daredevil'/><title type='text'>Mai Tai Without Fear N°1</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;It's been a while I hadn't posted on the blog.&lt;br /&gt;Also, it's been a while I wanted to try a Daredevil variation of the Mai Tai.&lt;br /&gt;The Mai Tai... currently my favourite cocktail, on par with the Manhattan.&lt;br /&gt;The problem with &lt;a href="http://redshaker.blogspot.com/2009/05/superheroes-mai-tais.html"&gt;the variations I tried&lt;/a&gt; in the past was that most of the time they were too sweet.&lt;br /&gt;But a true Daredevil fan never gives up, so I bring you : the Mai Tai Without Fear!&lt;br /&gt;To make it "Without Fear", I was inspired by "Bitter heavy" cocktails like the &lt;a href="http://ohgo.sh/archive/trinidad-sour-stormy-mai-tai-giuseppe-gonzalez-recipe/"&gt;"Stormy Mai Tai"&lt;/a&gt; and I went with not one but two bitters in large doses. Also, I switched Orange Curacao with Red Curacao.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Ca faisait un moment que je n'avais posté d'article ici.&lt;br /&gt;Et ça faisait aussi un moment que je voulais essayer une variante du Mai Tai version Daredevil.&lt;br /&gt;Le Mai Tai est en ce moment mon cocktail préféré (à égalité avec le Manhattan).&lt;br /&gt;Le souci, c'est que &lt;a href="http://redshaker.blogspot.com/2009/05/superheroes-mai-tais.html"&gt;mes essais précédents&lt;/a&gt; m'avaient souvent paru trop sucrés.&lt;br /&gt;Mais un fan de DD n'abandonne jamais, voici donc le Mai Tai sans peur!&lt;br /&gt;Pour mériter ce titre, il s'inspire de cocktails &lt;a href="http://ohgo.sh/archive/trinidad-sour-stormy-mai-tai-giuseppe-gonzalez-recipe/"&gt;fortement dosés en bitters&lt;/a&gt; mais avec deux sortes de bitters et du curacao rouge à la place de l'habituel curacao orange.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/Swfplu7UI9I/AAAAAAAAA44/f9kqpeaMgD4/s1600/IMG_1984.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/Swfplu7UI9I/AAAAAAAAA44/f9kqpeaMgD4/s400/IMG_1984.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406546712142816210" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;The usual crew and some new guests&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;Ingrédients habituels plus quelques invités&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Here's the recipe /&lt;/span&gt; la recette :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;- 1 oz good rum / &lt;/span&gt;3 cl de rhum&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I went with Appleton Estate 12 which is &lt;a href="http://rumdood.com/2009/03/26/rum-review-appleton-estate-extra/"&gt;supposed&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.tradertiki.com/rum-review-appleton-estate-extra/"&gt; to be&lt;/a&gt; a very good mixing rum&lt;/span&gt; / d'après &lt;a href="http://rumdood.com/2009/03/26/rum-review-appleton-estate-extra/"&gt;certains&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.tradertiki.com/rum-review-appleton-estate-extra/"&gt;spécialistes&lt;/a&gt;, l'Appleton Estate 12 est de l'or en barre&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;- 1 oz lime juice /&lt;/span&gt; 3 cl de jus de citron vert&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;- 1/2 oz Cartron Rubis Curacao /&lt;/span&gt; 1,5 cl de Curacao Rubis Joseph Cartron&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;(I tasted on it's own, it's delicious, refine and not as chemical as some other curacaos...&lt;/span&gt; / je l'ai testé nature, il est excellent, sans goût chimique comme certain curacaos)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;- 1/2 oz orgeat syrup &lt;/span&gt;/ 1,5 cl de sirop d'orgeat&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;- 1/4 oz simple syrup /&lt;/span&gt; 0,75 cl de sirop de sucre de canne&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;- 1/2 oz angostura bitter /&lt;/span&gt; 1,5 cl d'angostura bitter&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;- 1/2 oz Peychaud's bitter (add more red to your cocktail) /&lt;/span&gt; 1,5 cl de Peychaud bitter (pour encore plus de rouge)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Shake and strain over crushed iced in double rocks glass.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shaker et filtrer sur de la glace pilée dans un verre rocks double.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Garnish : orange peel, cherry&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Déco : zeste d'orange, cerise&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/Swfp7xYxp6I/AAAAAAAAA5A/kWkfCytnLXw/s1600/IMG_1996.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/Swfp7xYxp6I/AAAAAAAAA5A/kWkfCytnLXw/s400/IMG_1996.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406547090760378274" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;A great red color&lt;/span&gt;/un très beau rouge&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Tasting notes : a complex drink where the angostura dominates but also leaves room for the rum to express&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt; itself. Peychaud is in the background but you can feel it somewhere. Syrups and curacao  don't really make them noticed but surely counterblance the bitterness.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;I might try this again with Peychaud only, for a more rummy drink and a brighter red.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Notes de dégustation : un cocktail complexe, où l'angostura domine tout en laissant le rhum s'exprimer. Le Peychaud reste en arrière plan tandis que le curacao et les sirops sont très discrets mais contrebalancent sûrement l'amertume des bitters.&lt;br /&gt;A rééessayer avec seulement le Peychaud, pour laisser le rhum s'exprimer davantage et pour une teinte de rouge encore plus vive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Catégorie : Blogging_Cocktails&lt;br /&gt;Catégorie : Blogging_Comics&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2028892231567609462-6503229162030116142?l=redshaker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://redshaker.blogspot.com/feeds/6503229162030116142/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2028892231567609462&amp;postID=6503229162030116142' title='1 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2028892231567609462/posts/default/6503229162030116142'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2028892231567609462/posts/default/6503229162030116142'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://redshaker.blogspot.com/2009/11/mai-tai-without-fear-n1.html' title='Mai Tai Without Fear N°1'/><author><name>JP Nguyen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03451668699641615987</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/TMvr46bhnwI/AAAAAAAABBo/hbUA2jhhsj0/S220/Profil.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/Swfplu7UI9I/AAAAAAAAA44/f9kqpeaMgD4/s72-c/IMG_1984.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2028892231567609462.post-5728233971963643539</id><published>2009-10-11T21:46:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2009-10-11T21:55:27.636+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='daredevil'/><title type='text'>Daredevil &amp;

But nowhere near good as "The Dark Knight Returns", my favourite Batman book.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cela fait un an que le film Dark Knight est sorti.&lt;br /&gt;Il était bon. Mais pas aussi bon que "The Dark Knight Returns", mon bat-bouquin favori.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;TDKR is a violent yet clever tale masterfully told by Frank Miller (+Klaus Janson &amp;amp; Lynn Varley).&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;The story : at age 50 (approx), after ten years of retirement, Bruce Wayne takes back the mantle of the Bat to clean Gotham City.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TDKR est un récit violent mais intelligent, raconté de main de maître par Frank Miller (avec Klaus Janson à l'encrage et Lynn Varley aux couleurs).&lt;br /&gt;Résumé : à la cinquantaine, après dix ans de retraite, Bruce Wayne rempile comme Batman pour nettoyer Gotham City.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;I've read this book times and times again. I can snap-quote some passages as I know them by heart.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;J'ai lu ce livre des tonnes de fois. Je peux réciter des passages entiers tellement je les connais par coeur.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Rather than a detailed review or in-depth analysis, I decided to revisit four scenes with a fan-art drawing, each scene being taken from a different chapter of the book (warning, spoilers!).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Plutôt qu'une critique détaillée, j'ai décidé de revisiter ce monument à travers des fanarts de certaines scènes (une de chaque chapitre).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Dark Knight Returns&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;At the end of chapter one, Batman confronts Harvey Dent, who had his face surgically remade and was supposedly reformed from his criminal life as Two-Face. But deep inside, he remained a twisted villain, he couldn't give up his true nature, as Bruce Wayne can't stop being a Batman.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A la fin du premier chapitre, Batman se confronte à Harvey Dent, dont le visage avait été refait et qui était supposément réhabilité. Mais à l'intérieur, il demeurait mauvais, ne pouvant vaincre sa nature profonde, tout comme Bruce Wayne ne peut arrêter d'être Batman.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/Sogpj6zDTJI/AAAAAAAAA2c/IL36o_e4PDg/s1600-h/DK+reflection.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 283px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/Sogpj6zDTJI/AAAAAAAAA2c/IL36o_e4PDg/s400/DK+reflection.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370588252694858898" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Je vois... un reflet, Harvey.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Dark Knight Triumphant&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Chapter two is about Batman fighting the gang of the Mutants, symbols of the new generation of criminals. After having their leader cleaning his clock, Bats calls for a revenge in the mud. This time, rather than relying purely on brute force, he carefully and patiently takes the Mutant leader apart (taking his sight, then arms away, finishing with his legs). It's a fantastic scene as we can feel his opponent is really dangerous but still, Batman manages to stay in control... That feeling is in great parts conveyed through the inner monologue of Batman.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;His victory will cause the Mutants to disband, some of them becoming the Sons of Batman and turning into vigilantes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le chapitre deux est consacré à la lutte de Batman contre le gang des mutants, symbole de la nouvelle génération de criminels infestant Gotham City. Après s'être fait dérouillé par leur chef, Batman organise une revanche dans la boue. Plutôt que d'user de force brute, il met patiemment son adversaire hors de combat (en l'aveuglant, lui paralysant les membres un à un). C'est une scène remarquablement bien faite puisqu'on sent la dangerosité de l'adversaire mais aussi que Batman garde le contrôle de la situation. cela est en grande partie véhiculé par le monologue de Batman.&lt;br /&gt;Sa victoire aura pour conséquence la dissolution du gang des mutants, certains se reconvertissant en justiciers, les fils de Batman.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SogpkUg3OJI/AAAAAAAAA2k/jwrkdp7nW4U/s1600-h/DK+cutabove.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 284px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SogpkUg3OJI/AAAAAAAAA2k/jwrkdp7nW4U/s400/DK+cutabove.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370588259597891730" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Lui donner juste le bon genre d'entaille au dessus des yeux.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Le genre qui saigne...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-weight: bold;"&gt;Hunt the Dark Knight&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;The end of the third chapter sees the final duel between Batman and the Joker, at an amusement park, in theTunnel of Love (!). Stabbed several times, Batman goes for an extreme measure and twisted the Joker's neck, stopping just before killing him. But the Joker being crazy, he manages to finish the job, commiting suicide and leaving all the blame to Batman. Before that final scene, we also get glimpses of Batman remorse about the Joker, remembering all the people he (Batman) has murdered by letting the Joker live. It's a great chapter as the Joker was in a sort of cathatonic state before Batman came back. This chapter raises all kind of questions about Batman's moral ambiguity (Does he create the evil he fights ? Should he use lethal force ?)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La fin du chapitre trois nous livre le duel final entre Batman et le Joker, dans un parc d'attractions, dans le tunnel de l'amour (!). Ayant reçu plusieurs coups de couteau, Batman se résoud à tordre le cou au Joker, s'arrêtant tout juste avant de le tuer. Mais, en bon cinglé, le Joker se finit lui-même afin que la réputation de Batman devienne celle d'un assassin.&lt;br /&gt;Avant ce grand final, nous avons droit à des bribes de pensées de Batman, examinant sa relation avec le Joker, contemplant "toutes les personnes qu'il (Batman) a tuées, en le laissant vivre".&lt;br /&gt;C'est un chapitre très fort, puisque le Joker était dans un état cathatonique avant le retour de Batman. Les questions sur l'ambiguïté morale de la chauve souris sont posées : Est-il à l'origine du mal qu'il combat ? Doit-il tuer ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SogpknXxqOI/AAAAAAAAA2s/Hme9IrtQ4i0/s1600-h/DD+Neck.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 291px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SogpknXxqOI/AAAAAAAAA2s/Hme9IrtQ4i0/s400/DD+Neck.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370588264660052194" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Son cou devra faire l'affaire...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;The Dark Knight Falls&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;The fourth and final chapter sets up a fight between Batman and... Superman!

Superman ! Contrôlé par le gouvernement, Sup doit stopper Batounet, qui est hors-la-loi puisque dans ce récit, les USA ont banni les justiciers depuis des années.&lt;br /&gt;Equipé d'une armure pour se donner une chance face aux incroyables pouvoirs de Superman, Bruce arrive presque à vaincre Clark (grâce à Green Arrow et une flêche à la Kryptonite) mais succombe finalement.&lt;br /&gt;La dernière page nous montre que sa mort a été mise en scène et qu'il a commencé à entraîné un groupe de jeunes  pour combattre les pouvoirs en place ("dans un monde miné par pire que des voleurs et des meurtriers").&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SogplMP1uBI/AAAAAAAAA20/FA2yzTlpXqI/s1600-h/DK+punch.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 281px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SogplMP1uBI/AAAAAAAAA20/FA2yzTlpXqI/s400/DK+punch.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370588274558875666" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Il est plus que temps que tu apprennes ce que signifie...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;... être un homme.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Enjoy the trip?

Mon hobby des comics est bien connu de mes potes. Après, un livre bien choisi, c'est assez rare. J'ai tendance à déjà avoir les titres qui me bottent. Mais parfois, c'est une bonne pioche.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Sure. My passion for comic-books is well known from my friends. But good picks have been rare. I tend to already have the books I like.

No way. A serialized story ? For sure (I have a project on the backburner).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;- Que penses-tu des séries en plusieurs tomes ? / &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;What do you think of multipart series ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Etant lecteur de comics, je suis plutôt habitué à la mention "à suivre". Je déplore toutefois la décompression des histoires qui sévit depuis une dizaine d'années. Prendre le temps de raconter une bonne histoire sur plusieurs volumes, ok. Délayer un scénario de timbre poste sur 10 albums, c'est un peu de l'arnaque.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Being a comic-book-reader, I'm quite used to "to be continued" stories. What's annoying is the general trend of decompressed storytelling. Taking time to tell a good story is one thing, wasting pages to stretch a thin plot is another.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;- As-tu un Livre Culte ? / &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;A favorite book ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pas un seul en particulier mais pas mal de bouquins clefs dans mon existence, dont certains passages ou citations sont longtemps restés en moi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;I don't have just one favorite but quite a bunch, some pages or quotes definitely made their mark on my mind.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;- Aimes-tu relire ? / &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Do you re-read ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Plutôt. Mais j'ai du mal à relire intégralement. Je file souvent vers mes passages préférés.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Sure. But I can't re-read whole books. I'd rather focus on my favorite parts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;- Rencontrer ou pas les auteurs des livres que l'on a aimés ? / &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Would you like to meet the authors of your favorite books?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ca ne me tente pas plus que ça. Un bouquin peut être génial et son auteur imbuvable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Not really.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;The book and the person can be quite different.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;- Aimes-tu parler de tes lectures ? /&lt;/span&gt; Do you like talking about your readings ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quand j'étais adolescent, je voulais partager ma passion des comics avec d'autres. Mais les gens ne "voyaient" jamais vraiment les mêmes choses que moi. Plus tard, en rencontrant d'autres fans de comics, je me suis aperçu que même en lisant les mêmes bouquins, on ne recherchait pas toujours la même chose. Depuis, je poste parfois des critiques sur Amazon, et je donne deux-trois suggestions à des potes bédéphiles mais je fais assez peu de "prosélytisme" pour les comics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;When I was a teen, I wanted to share my passion about comics with others. But people never seemed to see the greatness of comics. Later, meeting other fans, I realized that, though reading the same books, we were not looking at the same things. Since, I've posted a few reviews on Amazon, and sometimes suggest readings for friends, that's all.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;- Comment choisis-tu tes livres ? / &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;How do you pick your books ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Selon les auteurs et les personnages. Je ne suis pas un inconditionnel, il faut un bon équilibre. Cela dit, je prends parfois une BD juste pour les dessins. Mes univers de prédilection sont bien sûr les super-héros et les polars mais j'apprécie aussi les uchronies, le médiéval fantastique...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Depending on the authors and the chars. I'm no loyal follower of any, it's got to be balanced. Though, I've bought books just for the nice pictures. My favorite universes are superheroes and noir but I can also enjoy heroic-fantasy or uchronies.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;- Une lecture inavouable ? /&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt; Any guilty reading ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nextwave.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;- Des endroits préférés pour lire ? /&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt; Favorites places to read ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enfant, j'adorais ramener mes comics dans ma chambre et les lire à plat ventre sur le lit.&lt;br /&gt;Maintenant, je préfère me caler dans un fauteuil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;As a kid, I brought my comics in my room to read them laying on my bed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Now, I just prefer to sit in a comfortable chair.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;- Lire et manger ? / &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Reading while eating ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Je faisais ça dans mes jeunes années, quand je rentrais de l'école pour midi. Je gagnais du temps (mais j'ai parfois taché des Strange).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;I used to do it as a kid, at lunch. (I won some time and spots on pages)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;- Livres empruntés ou Livres achetés ? / &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Borrow or buy ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Emprunter pour essayer de nouvelles choses, c'est bien. Mais si j'aime le bouquin, je l'achèterai.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Borrow to try new things, that's ok. But if I like it, I'll buy it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;- As-tu déjà abandonné la lecture d'un livre ? / &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Ever not finishing a book ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oui, je n'ai toujours pas fini A la recherche du temps perdu de Proust...

Early in July, I came across a DD-pic by &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);" href="http://monkeymarc.blogspot.com/"&gt;Marc Laming&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;, a free-lance artist who's worked for DC.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;After checking his rates were in my budget range, I asked him for : "Daredevil moving over NYC rooftops, with one or several water towers in the BG"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cette année, je me suis fait plaisir en commandant une "commission" de Daredevil. Début juillet, je suis tombé sur une illustration de DD par &lt;a href="http://monkeymarc.blogspot.com/"&gt;Marc Laming&lt;/a&gt;, un dessinateur free-lance qui a entre autres bossé pour DC.&lt;br /&gt;Après m'être assurée que ses tarifs étaient jouables pour moi, je lui ai demandé un "Daredevil sur les toits de New York, avec des châteaux d'eau en arrière plan".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;First, he submitted this rough/&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;Il m'a envoyé un brouillon&lt;/span&gt; :&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SnIBJWd6TUI/AAAAAAAAAzU/4a38hPtkF8U/s1600-h/ddrough.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 216px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SnIBJWd6TUI/AAAAAAAAAzU/4a38hPtkF8U/s320/ddrough.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364351366313168194" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;I didn't expect a landscape format but the pose worked well. I was only concerned DD wouldn't pop up well in BW (Marc used red in the rough just for fun) and asked for a black sky.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Je ne m'attendais pas à un format paysage mais la pose fonctionnait bien.

I'm past my thirties and I haven't found mine, yet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;One day, I might try to ape Eduardo Risso, the next, I'll mimic JR JR.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;The result might turn ok but too often "style-less".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trouver son style est une sorte de mini-graal pour tout dessinateur amateur. A trente ans passés, je n'ai toujours pas trouvé le mien. Un jour, j'essaye de faire du Risso et le jour suivant, je singe John Romita JR.&lt;br /&gt;Le résultat peut être correct mais trop souvent dénué de style.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;See a recent Black Widow / Daredevil I did /&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt; Voici un dessin récent de la Veuve Noire et DD&lt;/span&gt; :&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SlNWS0ByucI/AAAAAAAAAyc/rIrtB8sVvbA/s1600-h/DD-Widow-running-3colors.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 280px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SlNWS0ByucI/AAAAAAAAAyc/rIrtB8sVvbA/s400/DD-Widow-running-3colors.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355719263077448130" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;But one of the cool points of not having a style, is you can always try new things. Your art can't get stale (as long as you're practicing and trying to improve yourself).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mais un des avantages du manque de style, c'est la recherche d'un style et le travail d'expérimentation, les essais que ce la permet.

The Best!").&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;As this cocktail has a pretty superlative name, it makes a good candidate for comic-book character variations. After all, a lot of comics heroes are "larger than life".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le Mai Tai doit son nom à une des premières personnes qui l'a goûté et qui se serait exclamé "Mai Tai Ro Ae", ce qui signifie, en Thaïtien : "Excellent, c'est le meilleur !"&lt;br /&gt;Le nom de ce cocktail a donc un côté superlatif qui se prête plutôt bien à des variantes super-héroïques. Après tout, nombre de personnages de comics sont "over the top".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/Sk3Ct1O3V5I/AAAAAAAAAxE/s3xniziMYd0/s1600-h/IMG_1288.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/Sk3Ct1O3V5I/AAAAAAAAAxE/s3xniziMYd0/s400/IMG_1288.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354149624652715922" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;The Classic Mai Tai : my favorite cocktail along with the Manhattan&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;Mon cocktail préféré à égalité avec le Manhattan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;For the record, my Mai Tai recipe goes as follows /&lt;/span&gt; Ma recette de Mai Tai usuelle :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;- 2 oz good rum / &lt;/span&gt;6 cl de rhum&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(pick a good bottle... or two)&lt;/span&gt; / (choisissez un bon rhum, voire un mélange de bons rhums)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;- 1 oz lime juice /&lt;/span&gt; 3 cl de jus de citron vert&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;- 1/2 oz orange liqueur /&lt;/span&gt; 1,5 cl de liqueur d'orange&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;(Cointreau, Grand Marnier, Mandarine Napoleon, Shrubb... experiment!&lt;/span&gt; / essayez!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;- 1/2 oz orgeat syrup &lt;/span&gt;/ 1,5 cl de sirop d'orgeat&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;- 1/4 oz simple syrup /&lt;/span&gt; 0,75 cl de sirop de sucre de canne&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;- 1 oz more rum (floating, optional) /&lt;/span&gt; 3 cl de rhum (pour recouvrir, optionnel)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Shake and strain over crushed iced or shake directly in the glass with a lot of ice (depending if you're in the hurry or not).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shaker et filtrer sur de la glace pilée ou shaker directement dans le verre avec beaucoup de glaçons (selon que vous soyez pressé ou non).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Garnish : spent lime shell, cherry, diced pineapple, mint spring&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Déco : demi citron vert pressé, cerise, cube d'ananas, brin de menthe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt;Hulk's Mai Tai - Strongest One there is!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/Sk3FCqA9B2I/AAAAAAAAAyE/PokFTiriqWw/s1600-h/Hulk+Mai+Tai.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/Sk3FCqA9B2I/AAAAAAAAAyE/PokFTiriqWw/s400/Hulk+Mai+Tai.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354152181442086754" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;"Strongest Mai Tai Hulk wants !"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;"Hulk vouloir Mai Tai plus fort!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Let's start with Hulk.

He made Matt question his slow descent into ruthless violence. And, after the inevitable big riot at Rykers, Frank provided a perfect way out for Matt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/Sf2VTlnRpuI/AAAAAAAAAtQ/-qmkdPMcZQ4/s1600-h/cellblock3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 262px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/Sf2VTlnRpuI/AAAAAAAAAtQ/-qmkdPMcZQ4/s400/cellblock3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331581697623434978" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;A friendly talk on lunch at Ryker's&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Une conversation amicale, un midi à Ryker's&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;A l'époque, c'était assez intriguant de voir le Punisher se faire capturer volontairement pour aller à Rykers. Etant donné leurs relations passées, on aurait pu croire qu'il venait remuer son couteau dans la plaie de Matt en insistant sur les limites de la méthode légale si longtemps prônée par Daredevil.&lt;br /&gt;Il n'en fut rien, Frank était venu aider Matt ! Il contribua à la remise en questions de Matt concernant ses méthodes de plus en plus brutales. Et, après l'inévitable émeute, il permit à Matt de sortir du pénitencier.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/Sf2VT91UvHI/AAAAAAAAAtY/NIlRTT1JVCg/s1600-h/cellblock4.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 337px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/Sf2VT91UvHI/AAAAAAAAAtY/NIlRTT1JVCg/s400/cellblock4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331581704124808306" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Matt asks for Frank's help!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Matt demande au Punisher de l'aider !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/Sf2VUS3iudI/AAAAAAAAAtg/Udsd3afY_kg/s1600-h/cellblock5.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 159px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/Sf2VUS3iudI/AAAAAAAAAtg/Udsd3afY_kg/s400/cellblock5.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331581709771258322" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Together, they fake a hostage-taking.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A eux deux, ils simulent une prise d'otage...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;So, it took many years but we finally got it : a tale where Hornhead &amp;amp; Skullchest meet and don't fight each other! The most interesting thing is Brubaker's take on Frank Castle regarding Matt Murdock :  Frank doesn't want to use Matt's methods but he doesn't want Matt to turn like him, either.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Cela aura pris pas mal de temps pour lire une histoire où Tête à Cornes et Tête de mort se rencontrent sans se mettre sur la tronche ! De façon intéressante, Brubaker redéfinit la position de Frank Castle par rapport à Matt Murdock : Castle ne veut pas adopter les méthodes de Murdock mais ne veut pas non plus que Murdock devienne comme lui. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/Sf2VUd1PwnI/AAAAAAAAAto/PHUmnZnPhW8/s1600-h/cellblock6.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 233px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/Sf2VUd1PwnI/AAAAAAAAAto/PHUmnZnPhW8/s400/cellblock6.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331581712714416754" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;"You don't want to be me."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Tu ne veux pas être moi."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That was one of many great moments in this stellar arc, Bru's first and (a tad disappointingly considering the length of his run)  best story-arc.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;On a sidenote, I think the consequences of "Matt in jail" were under-exploited, as following issues served to set things back to the "normal" statu-quo. As an idealist lawyer, Matt could have been much more shaken and disturbed by his time behind bars. After all, knowing where "his" ways lead criminals, are the Punisher's ways so wrong ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;C'était un de nombreux grands moments de cette histoire, la première et (hélas) la meilleure de Brubaker sur Daredevil.&lt;br /&gt;On pourra déplorer que les conséquences de la détention de Matt ont été assez peu explorées. En tant qu'avocat idéaliste, il aurait pu être davantage perturbé par son séjour derrière les barreaux. Après tout, en réalisant comment le système légal traite les criminels, il aurait pu revoir son jugement sur les méthodes du Punisher...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/Sf2VUr1TDOI/AAAAAAAAAtw/aTBCbdnvFWw/s1600-h/cellblock7.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 209px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/Sf2VUr1TDOI/AAAAAAAAAtw/aTBCbdnvFWw/s400/cellblock7.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331581716472728802" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;"So not everything's changed - No, not everything... just enough..."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Alors tout n'a pas changé - Non, pas tout... juste assez..."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Catégorie : Blogging_Comics&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2028892231567609462-8786555907713600137?l=redshaker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://redshaker.blogspot.com/feeds/8786555907713600137/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2028892231567609462&amp;postID=8786555907713600137' title='2 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2028892231567609462/posts/default/8786555907713600137'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2028892231567609462/posts/default/8786555907713600137'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://redshaker.blogspot.com/2009/05/hornhead-skullchest-in-cell-block-d.html' title='Hornhead &amp; Skullchest - &quot;In Cell-Block D&quot;'/><author><name>JP Nguyen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03451668699641615987</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/TMvr46bhnwI/AAAAAAAABBo/hbUA2jhhsj0/S220/Profil.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/Sf2TQcZNJYI/AAAAAAAAAtA/gQoDZ469wQM/s72-c/cellblock1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2028892231567609462.post-5994141849555211290</id><published>2009-05-03T07:55:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2009-05-03T22:19:00.770+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='punisher'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='daredevil'/><title type='text'>Hornhead &amp; Skullchest - Means and Ends</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-style: italic;"&gt;They serve justice, only in different ways : Matt Murdock aka Daredevil and Frank Castle aka the Punisher. They're some of my favorite characters though they seem to be polar opposites.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ils recherchent la justice, chacun à leur façon : Daredevil et le Punisher. Ce sont deux de mes personnages préférés et pourtant tout semble les opposer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-style: italic;"&gt;This belongs to a series of posts exploring their common history.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Ceci fait partie d'une série d'articles évoquant leurs rencontres.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;A pattern we could deduce from former rounds is that when the action takes place in one character's series, this character has the higher ground.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;So, what about a mini-series featuring both? It could provide a "neutral ground" to tell a balanced story, without advantaging the one or the other.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;"Daredevil vs Punisher : Means and Ends" is a 6 issues mini-series by David Lapham, released in 2005 and providing us a good case study.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;D'après les rounds précédents, quand un personnage se trouvait dans sa série, il était en général avantagé.&lt;br /&gt;Mais quid d'une mini-série dont Tête-à-cornes et Tête de mort partageraient l'affiche? Ce "terrain neutre" pourrait donner lieu à une histoire équilibrée, n'avantageant ni l'un, ni l'autre...&lt;br /&gt;La mini-série en 6 numéros, "Means and Ends" (Les fins et les moyens") parue en 2005 et écrite par David Lapham nous fournit un bon cas d'étude...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/Sfdgv3adLpI/AAAAAAAAAsI/tmqoXdT5ANI/s1600-h/MeansAndEndscovers123.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 193px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/Sfdgv3adLpI/AAAAAAAAAsI/tmqoXdT5ANI/s400/MeansAndEndscovers123.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329835059461303954" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Each cover has two parts /&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt; Chaque couv' est en deux parties&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;the upper pictures a DD-Pun showdown&lt;/span&gt; / en haut, une baston DD-Punisher&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;while the lower is related to the issue &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;/ en bas, une illu davantage liée à l'épisode&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Again, the series takes place during the "Lost Year" : Hammerhead and the Jackal are trying to take over the underworld of NYC, after the Kingpin's demise. As usual, Daredevil wants them arrested, while the Punisher wants them dead. The fresh touch comes from the backstory of the Bastellis, a family running a dinner, who are victims of a racket. The son Martin, is tempted by vigilantism, inspired by Frank Castle while the daughter, Mary, reminds Frankie of his wife...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Une fois de plus, la série se déroule pendant "l'année blanche" : Hammerhead et le Chacal tentent de faire main basse sur la pègre de New York après la chute du Caïd. Comme toujours, Daredevil veut les arrêter tandis que le Punisher veut les abattre. La nouveauté vient de l'histoire secondaire, celle des Bastellis, une famille tenant un dinner et victime de racket. Martin, le fils, est tenté par la voie du vigilantisme, inspiré par Frank Castle tandis que Mary, la fille, ressemble beaucoup à Maria, la femme il y a longtemps décédée de Frank Castle!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SfdlOCavYMI/AAAAAAAAAsY/qioLb1qX3jQ/s1600-h/MeansAndEndsHammerhead.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 220px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SfdlOCavYMI/AAAAAAAAAsY/qioLb1qX3jQ/s400/MeansAndEndsHammerhead.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329839975857873090" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Hammerhead : making the Kingpin look beautiful&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A côté d'Hammerhead, le Caïd est presque beau&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Well, 6 issues is too much for me to venture into all the details so, instead I'll give you my list of the series strong and weak points.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;Plutôt que de faire un trop long résumé des 6 épisodes, j'ai dressé une liste des plus et des moins de la série.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SfdlOdvzfjI/AAAAAAAAAso/dnScuErrTUo/s1600-h/DDPUN1+%2812%29.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 272px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SfdlOdvzfjI/AAAAAAAAAso/dnScuErrTUo/s400/DDPUN1+%2812%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329839983193980466" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Frank Castle on Times Square looks like Travis Bickle&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Frank Castle sur Times Square, un côté "Taxi Driver"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Let's start with the bad stuff/&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;on commence par les "moins" :&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- The villains : Hammerhead and the Jackal (with an apparition of Bushwacker, too). The use of established villains can only be shoe-horning a story with the Punisher. He's supposed to be lethal but we know he won't be able to kill the villains. There's someone stronger than him or Daredevil to stop him : the editor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;- The chosen point of view : the tale is clearly told from the Punisher's side. We get into Frank's mind through inner monologue when DD is more distant (Lapham only uses third person narration on him) and sometimes only appears as a plot device.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;- Unfitting art : Lapham is a good story-teller but his art doesn't quite fit the tale. It is at times too cartoony when the story is quite crude and dark. So we have a "MAX-like" Punisher rendered in a "War Journal" style. Unfitting.&lt;br /&gt;- The lost year timeline isn't really acknowledged : DD doesnt really behave an ambiguous "King of Hell's Kitchen"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;- Les méchants de l'histoire : Hammerhead et le Chacal (ainsi que Bushwacker). Le choix de ces ennemis dessert l'histoire car on sait que le Punisher ne pourra pas les éliminer définitivement. il se frotte à plus fort que lui ou Daredevil : le rédacteur (editor) de la série.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;- Le point de vue adopté : l'histoire est racontée par le Punisher. On rentre dans l'esprit de Frank grâce à ses monologues mais DD reste trop distant (pour lui, Lapham utilise la narration à la 3ème personne) , sa présence confinant parfois à un artifice narratif.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;- L'inadéquation du dessin : Lapham sait raconter une histoire mais son dessin n'est pas adaptée. Il est parfois trop "cartoony" alors que l'histoire se veut sombre et réaliste. On a un Punisher très "adulte", presque digne de la série MAX avec un dessin plus proche de la série "War Journal" (presque "tous publics"). Inadéquat (ou non-idoine, comme qui dirait).&lt;br /&gt;- Le concept de l'année blanche n'est quasiment pas abordé : Daredevil est sensé être le roi de Hell's Kitchen et faire la loi dans son quartier de manière ambigue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SfdlOKPXIqI/AAAAAAAAAsg/ubkFQEst1rs/s1600-h/MeansAndEndsNYC.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 335px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SfdlOKPXIqI/AAAAAAAAAsg/ubkFQEst1rs/s400/MeansAndEndsNYC.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329839977957630626" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Lapham's NYC is neither nice or safe&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le New York de Lapham : un endroit dangereux&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;The good stuff/&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;les "plus" &lt;/span&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;- Story-telling is good. Though we can't expect lasting or significant consequences, we're often hooked and flip pages to see what happens next.&lt;br /&gt;- Characterization is good with attention on details (the personalities of Hornhead and Skullchest transpires either on quiet scenes or action scenes)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;- Cool scenes : the "neutral ground" of the mini permits both characters to shine (Punisher cleans a crowded bar on his own, Daredevil stops a car just by throwing his billy club). And just look at the last page of chapter five. Isn't it an arresting splash page ? Quite reminding of DD emerging from fire in Born Again.&lt;br /&gt;- Lapham writes a badass DD ("It's never fun hurting the dogs. The handler on the other hand...") and a tortured yet solid Punisher&lt;br /&gt;- The worst consequences of the Punisher's methods are addressed (bad role-model and stray bullets)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;- The backstory (a boy fascinated by guns trying to protect his family) is predictable yet touching&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SfdlOlW5inI/AAAAAAAAAsw/dzZbejVaqR8/s1600-h/DaredevilvsPunisher5-14.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 260px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SfdlOlW5inI/AAAAAAAAAsw/dzZbejVaqR8/s400/DaredevilvsPunisher5-14.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329839985237002866" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;How to stop a car the DD's way&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Comment arrêter une voiture : la méthode DD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;- L'histoire est bien racontée : même si on ne s'attend pas à des bouleversements, on est pris dans le récit et on tourne certaines pages bien vite pour connaître la suite.&lt;br /&gt;- L'auteur apporte une attention particulière aux détails (d'ailleurs, chaque chapitre a un titre) et les caractères de tous les personnages sont assez bien rendus et transparaissent à travers les scènes de dialogues comme les scènes d'actions&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;- Certaines scènes sont très réussies : le concept du terrain neutre permet quand même aux deux persos de briller à tour de rôle (le Punisher nettoie un bar à lui tout seul, Daredevil arrête une voiture en lançant son bâton). Et jetez un oeil à la dernière pleine page du chapitre 5. Saisissant, non ? Elle me rappelle le DD émergeant des flammes dans Born Again.&lt;br /&gt;- Lapham livre un Daredevil pas piqué des vers ("Ce n'est jamais drôle de blesser les chiens. Leur maître, en revanche...") et un Punisher torturé mais solide.&lt;br /&gt;- Les pires conséquences possible des méthodes du Punisher sont abordées (mauvais exemple donné et balles perdues)&lt;br /&gt;- La trame de fond (un garçon fasciné par les armes essaie de protéger sa famille) est prévisible mais reste très touchante&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SfdlOlkW0BI/AAAAAAAAAs4/NkVnKjoM6Cc/s1600-h/DaredevilvsPunisher5-21.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 260px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SfdlOlkW0BI/AAAAAAAAAs4/NkVnKjoM6Cc/s400/DaredevilvsPunisher5-21.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329839985293447186" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Last page from issue 5 /&lt;/span&gt; Dernière page du numéro 5&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;So what's the verdict ? Between Hornhead and Skullchest, it ends with a draw. As for the series itself,  it's a mixed bag. I'm kinda feeling Lapham didn't have the right means (established villains, borderline cartoony art) to reach the ends (noir tale, bloody action) he had in mind. It seems he aimed for a higher standard than you might expect from a mainstream book but someone didn't let him or he lost some steam somewhere down the road. So the series ends with only a mean-value score. But as it's not short of good moments, this series is worth reading.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Alors, quel est le verdict ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; Le match DD-Punisher se termine par un nul tandis que la série obtient un bilan contrasté. J'ai l'impression que Lapham n'a pas disposé des bons moyens (méchants intuables, dessin parfois inadéquat) pour atteindre les fins (un conte noir, de l'action plutôt saignante) qu'il s'était fixé. Il semble qu'il visait un standard bien supérieur à ceux du mainstream habituel mais on ne lui a pas laissé toute latitude nécessaire ou alors il a perdu ses idées en route. Aussi, la série se termine sur une note plutôt moyenne. Cependant, pour toutes les bonnes scènes dont elle est parsemée, cette série vaut la peine d'être lue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SfdgwIVkFFI/AAAAAAAAAsQ/6C-OjKFRyOI/s1600-h/MeansAndEndscovers456.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 208px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SfdgwIVkFFI/AAAAAAAAAsQ/6C-OjKFRyOI/s400/MeansAndEndscovers456.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329835064004187218" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Note : I found &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);" href="http://johnnytriangles.blogspot.com/2006/05/daredevil-vs-punisher-means-and-ends.html"&gt;another review&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt; online, expressing views similar to mine but giving the series a better overall  score (sorry Frenchies, it's in english only).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Catégorie : Blogging_Comics&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2028892231567609462-5994141849555211290?l=redshaker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://redshaker.blogspot.com/feeds/5994141849555211290/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2028892231567609462&amp;postID=5994141849555211290' title='4 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2028892231567609462/posts/default/5994141849555211290'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2028892231567609462/posts/default/5994141849555211290'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://redshaker.blogspot.com/2009/05/hornhead-skullchest-means-and-ends.html' title='Hornhead &amp; Skullchest - Means and Ends'/><author><name>JP Nguyen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03451668699641615987</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/TMvr46bhnwI/AAAAAAAABBo/hbUA2jhhsj0/S220/Profil.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/Sfdgv3adLpI/AAAAAAAAAsI/tmqoXdT5ANI/s72-c/MeansAndEndscovers123.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2028892231567609462.post-6766616784970527211</id><published>2009-05-01T07:53:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2009-05-01T07:53:01.044+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='punisher'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='daredevil'/><title type='text'>Hornhead &amp; Skullchest - by Bendis and Hester</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-style: italic;"&gt;They serve justice, only in different ways : Matt Murdock aka Daredevil and Frank Castle aka the Punisher.

This one takes place in Daredevil v2 #65, written by Brian Michael Bendis, an anniversary issue including scenes from the "Lost year" after DD declared himself King of Hell's Kitchen. DD's new title leads the Punisher to question his morality : has DD become just another mobster? It's a multiple guest-artists  issue but the one drawing the confrontation is Phil Hester.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Voilà un autre round entre Tête-à-cornes et Tête-de-mort. Celui-ci se passe dans Daredevil v2 #65, écrit par Bendis avec un tas de dessinateurs invités. L'épisode explore l'année "blanche" après que DD se soit proclamé roi de Hell's Kitchen. Ce nouveau titre lui vaut la suspicion du Punisher : DD est-il devenu un parrain ? Phil Hester dessine la scène confrontant Frank et Matt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SfR_7oC1RDI/AAAAAAAAAqs/BvmKPvSpJz0/s1600-h/Daredevil65-23.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 253px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SfR_7oC1RDI/AAAAAAAAAqs/BvmKPvSpJz0/s400/Daredevil65-23.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329024921424446514" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;"Put the gun down and get out of New york."

We're in the Daredevil series, so he has to win and look cool. Writing and art are good but overall, it seems the Hornhead-Skullchest relationship has become stale. The sole twist is that Frank tries to stop DD because he thinks he's gone to the other side. But he tries to do it in a clumsy way and it seems to be just an excuse for Hornhead to shine by beating the Punisher.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Cette histoire est en quelque sorte le contrepoint de la confrontation dans "Welcome Back Frank". Nous sommes dans la série de DD, donc c'est lui qui doit gagner et avoir le dernier mot. Les dialogues et le dessin sont bons mais la relation Daredevil-Punisher semble devenir quelque peu stérile. La variante vient du fait que cette fois, c'est le Punisher qui essaie d'arrêter Daredevil car il croit que DD est passé du mauvais côté. Mais sa tentative semble bien maladroite et apparaît plus comme un prétexte pour donner à DD l'occasion de briller en lui flanquant une raclée.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;A good setup, not entirely well exploited.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Un bon pitch, pas tout à fait bien exploité.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Catégorie : Blogging_Comics&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2028892231567609462-6766616784970527211?l=redshaker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://redshaker.blogspot.com/feeds/6766616784970527211/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2028892231567609462&amp;postID=6766616784970527211' title='1 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2028892231567609462/posts/default/6766616784970527211'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2028892231567609462/posts/default/6766616784970527211'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://redshaker.blogspot.com/2009/05/hornhead-skullchest-by-bendis-and.html' title='Hornhead &amp; Skullchest - by Bendis and Hester'/><author><name>JP Nguyen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03451668699641615987</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/TMvr46bhnwI/AAAAAAAABBo/hbUA2jhhsj0/S220/Profil.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SfR_7oC1RDI/AAAAAAAAAqs/BvmKPvSpJz0/s72-c/Daredevil65-23.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2028892231567609462.post-1974861983908249925</id><published>2009-04-29T07:31:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2009-04-29T18:47:15.625+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='punisher'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='daredevil'/><title type='text'>Hornhead &amp; Skullchest : Marvel Knights</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-style: italic;"&gt;They serve justice, only in different ways : Matt Murdock aka Daredevil and Frank Castle aka the Punisher.

The story taking place in the Punisher series and being written by Garth Ennis, we can see a bias : the Punisher is cool, he is right and other characters are goofies. This approach will make for other midly entertaining yet uninteresting tales as "Confederacy of dunces"before the series gets cancelled and relaunched in the MAX Imprint (for a darker and much more interesting take on the Punisher, still by Ennis).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;C'est sans doute la première victoire du Punisher lors de ses face-à-face avec tête-à-cornes. Le dialogue est plutôt bien écrit, la scène est très fluide et les arguments du Punisher font toujours réfléchir. Mais on sent quand même que les dés du scénario ont été pipés, à l'instar du "faux-choix donné par le Punisher". L'histoire se passant dans la série du Punisher et étant écrite par Garth Ennis, il y a comme un biais : le Punisher est cool, il voit juste et les autres persos ne sont que des bouffons. Cette approche donnera des récits parfois amusants mais plutôt inintéressants comme "La conspiration des imbéciles" avant l'arrêt de la série et son relaunch sous le label MAX (pour une série plus noire et bien plus intéressante, toujours par Ennis).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Catégorie : Blogging_Comics&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2028892231567609462-1974861983908249925?l=redshaker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://redshaker.blogspot.com/feeds/1974861983908249925/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2028892231567609462&amp;postID=1974861983908249925' title='2 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2028892231567609462/posts/default/1974861983908249925'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2028892231567609462/posts/default/1974861983908249925'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://redshaker.blogspot.com/2009/04/hornhead-skullchest-marvel-knights.html' title='Hornhead &amp; Skullchest : Marvel Knights'/><author><name>JP Nguyen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03451668699641615987</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/TMvr46bhnwI/AAAAAAAABBo/hbUA2jhhsj0/S220/Profil.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SfR1ARX7XOI/AAAAAAAAAqE/u7DJmPLpl2M/s72-c/The_Punisher_v3_3_c01.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2028892231567609462.post-5650317183480577440</id><published>2009-04-26T18:07:00.015+02:00</published><updated>2009-04-26T20:20:17.236+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='daredevil'/><title type='text'>Graphic cocktails</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Before reviewing more Daredevil-Punisher stories, I'm taking a small pause and showing you two of my recent drawings (with DD only).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Avant de reparler de Daredevil et du Punisher, je prends une pause et pour vous montrer deux de mes récents dessins (avec DD seulement).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;The first was inspired by a DD from Rick Leonardi, in Daredevil V1 #248.

But well, it didn't turn out so bad.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le premier est inspiré d'un dessin de Rick Leonardi, dans Daredevil 248. J'ai changé le fond en redessinant une photo trouvée dans FlickR et, bien sûr, mon trait est bien moins arrondi et dynamique que celui de Leonardi...

They're some of my favorite characters though they seem to be polar opposites.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Ils recherchent la justice, chacun à leur façon : Daredevil et le Punisher. Ce sont deux de mes personnages préférés et pourtant tout semble les opposer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-style: italic;"&gt;This belongs to a series of posts exploring their common history.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Ceci fait partie d'une série d'articles évoquant leurs rencontres.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Issue 344 is part two of a big crossover : "Over the Edge". The story is that the Punisher loses his mind (well, I don't mean that normally he's a 100% sane person but...) and blames Nick Fury for the murder of his family at Central Park.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Writer is JM de Matteis  and penciler is Ron Wagner, with inks by Bill Reinhold.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le numéro 344 est la deuxième partie d'un crossover : "Over the Edge". Dans cette histoire, le Punisher pète les plombs (enfin, si on considère qu'il est sain d'esprit en temps normal...) et croit que Nick fury est le responsable du massacre de sa famille à Central Park. L'histoire est écrite par JM De Matteis avec des dessins de Ron Wagner et un encrage de Bill Reinhold.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;At the beginning of this issue, we can see that Daredevil isn't at his best either : he's in his "motor-cross days" (having faked his death, he took a darker, armored-costume) and is having a more and more violent behaviour towards criminals.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Au début de l'épisode, on peut voir que DD n'est pas au mieux non plus : il arbore à cette époque son "costume de moto-cross" (après avoir simulé sa mort, il portait un costume plus sombre, plus proche d'une armure) et adopte un comportement de plus en plus violent face aux criminels.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SfQucjYI-dI/AAAAAAAAAos/nNm3frWqTEM/s1600-h/Daredevil344_02-03detail.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 364px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SfQucjYI-dI/AAAAAAAAAos/nNm3frWqTEM/s400/Daredevil344_02-03detail.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328935327153846738" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;FYI : those thieves were only stealing paintings !&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pour info : ce ne sont que des voleurs de tableaux !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;But his mind's not totally gone and he has remorse, knowing something's wrong with him but having no clue on how to fix it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mais DD n'est pas encore totalement maboul et éprouve du remord, étant conscient qu'il a un problème mais ne sachant pas trop comment le solutionner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SfQuc90sqgI/AAAAAAAAAo0/mo59qTp4rho/s1600-h/Daredevil344_04detail.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 396px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SfQuc90sqgI/AAAAAAAAAo0/mo59qTp4rho/s400/Daredevil344_04detail.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328935334252947970" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Without fear but full of doubts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sans peur mais plein de doutes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Meanwhile, the Punisher is targeting "Scorpio", Nick Fury's son. His inner monologue shows is also quite conflicted and disturbed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pendant ce temps, le Punisher vise "Scorpio", le fils de Nick fury. Son monologue intérieur montre aussi qu'il est assez perturbé.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SfQuczfa5BI/AAAAAAAAAo8/U4vmMmJXK6c/s1600-h/Daredevil344_05detail.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 371px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SfQuczfa5BI/AAAAAAAAAo8/U4vmMmJXK6c/s400/Daredevil344_05detail.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328935331479348242" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Frankie hesitates to pull a trigger : clearly, he's not in his normal state ;-)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Frank hésite à presser la détente : il est clairement perturbé ;-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;And the other guest-star of the issue is, of course, Nick Fury. He knows he's wanted by Frank Castle but he's also quite moody, so, instead of hiding or tracking the Punisher, he's wandering in his old neighborhood : Hell's Kitchen, chasing ghosts from his past and talking with his former kid-self.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L'autre invité de l'épisode est bien sûr Nick Fury. Il sait que Frank Castle cherche à l'abattre mais il est aussi d'humeur assez mélancolique et au lieu de se cacher ou de traquer le Punisher, il se ballade dans le quartier de son enfance, parmi les fantômes du passé, en dialoguant avec son "moi" enfant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SfQudKwiuhI/AAAAAAAAApE/Bvt1e8Z9sho/s1600-h/Daredevil344_09detail.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 218px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SfQudKwiuhI/AAAAAAAAApE/Bvt1e8Z9sho/s400/Daredevil344_09detail.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328935337725180434" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Nick Fury grew up in Hell's Kitchen.

We get to see a borderline Daredevil relishing on nearly random violence facing a crazier than usual yet forgiving Punisher. Nick Fury provides the link between Hornhead and Skullchest. An old soldier like Castle and former Hell's Kitchen kid, like Matt.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;All three of them are damaged goods. The issue is filled with nostalgia and melancholy, but in the end, it delivers a message of hope.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Comme crossover, "Over the Edge" est loin de casser des briques mais ce chapitre est plutôt un bon épisode. On retrouve un Daredevil au bord de la crise de nerfs, tenté par l'ultra-violence irréfléchie face à un Punisher plus fou que jamais mais pourtant magnanime. Nick Fury sert de lien entre les deux. Vétéran comme Castle et ancien gosse de Hell's Kitchen, comme Matt.&lt;br /&gt;Tous trois trainent un lourd passé. L'épisode est plein de nostalgie, empreint de mélancolie mais délivre quand même, à la fin, un message d'espoir.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Catégorie : Blogging_Comics&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2028892231567609462-7434465908610833282?l=redshaker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://redshaker.blogspot.com/feeds/7434465908610833282/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2028892231567609462&amp;postID=7434465908610833282' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2028892231567609462/posts/default/7434465908610833282'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2028892231567609462/posts/default/7434465908610833282'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://redshaker.blogspot.com/2009/04/hornhead-skullchest-over-edge.html' title='Hornhead &amp; Skullchest : Over the Edge'/><author><name>JP Nguyen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03451668699641615987</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/TMvr46bhnwI/AAAAAAAABBo/hbUA2jhhsj0/S220/Profil.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SfQucjYI-dI/AAAAAAAAAos/nNm3frWqTEM/s72-c/Daredevil344_02-03detail.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2028892231567609462.post-4054897402383776039</id><published>2009-04-19T20:09:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2009-04-19T20:09:00.117+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='punisher'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='daredevil'/><title type='text'>Hornhead &amp; Skullchest : Chichester/Weeks part 2</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-style: italic;"&gt;They serve justice, only in different ways : Matt Murdock aka Daredevil and Frank Castle aka the Punisher.

All in all, these two issues  don't add much to the DD-Punisher relationship. Yet, there are a plenty of action-scenes but also short but good insights to Matt/Daredevil personality through his inner narration. Plus, we get to see a very proactive Daredevil that I'm kinda missing these days.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ce round est clairement remporté par Tête-à-cornes. Globalement, ces deux numéros n'apportent rien de neuf à la relation entre DD et le Punisher. Cependant, si les scènes d'action abondent, le récit comporte aussi des éclairages pertinents sur la personnalité de Matt/Daredevil à travers son monologue narratif. De plus, on retrouve un Daredevil très proactif, un aspect qui, de nos jours,  manque un peu au personnage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Catégorie : Blogging_Comics&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2028892231567609462-4054897402383776039?l=redshaker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://redshaker.blogspot.com/feeds/4054897402383776039/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2028892231567609462&amp;postID=4054897402383776039' title='2 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2028892231567609462/posts/default/4054897402383776039'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2028892231567609462/posts/default/4054897402383776039'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://redshaker.blogspot.com/2009/04/hornhead-skullchest-chichesterweeks_19.html' title='Hornhead &amp;amp; Skullchest : Chichester/Weeks part 2'/><author><name>JP Nguyen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03451668699641615987</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/TMvr46bhnwI/AAAAAAAABBo/hbUA2jhhsj0/S220/Profil.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SemiUax6qEI/AAAAAAAAAnM/5_U78lDvnOo/s72-c/Daredevil+-+293+-+Murder+by+Numbers+-+01detail.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2028892231567609462.post-2730949638885556530</id><published>2009-04-18T07:33:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2009-04-18T07:33:00.568+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='punisher'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='daredevil'/><title type='text'>Hornhead &amp; Skullchest - Chichester/Weeks part 1</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-style: italic;"&gt;They serve justice, only in different ways : Matt Murdock aka Daredevil and Frank Castle aka the Punisher.

Chichester had a knack for writing Hornhead's senses. I like his Daredevil being "in charge" of things. No pawn nor victim. He's protecting his city, braving danger... without fear!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seulement 5 pages lues et on peut sentir que ça va être fun.&lt;br /&gt;Le truc du gars coriace dégommé par un gars encore plus coriace n'est pas révolutionnaire mais c'est marrant et, ici, vite-fait et bien fait.&lt;br /&gt;Quand à la scène avec DD... Chichester avait un talent pour retranscrire les sens de tête-à-cornes. J'aime le côté volontariste de son Daredevil. Ni pion, ni victime. Il protège sa ville, bravant le danger tel... un homme sans peur!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;DD interrogates the thug about recent  murders in the underworld and learns Taskmaster killed Ernie Saltes. Then, there are subplot scene with the Kingpin and another with Foggy (at the time working for Matt's reintegration, as he had been disbarred...). DD tracks Taskmaster and finds him in a warehouse discussing with Tombstone. We learn they're engaged in a contest to determine who's the better killer from the two. We don't get to know who are the judges of this sick competition.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DD interroge le malfrat à propos de récents meurtres dans le milieu et apprend que le Taskmaster a tué Ernis Saltes. Vient une scène de transition avec le Caid puis une autre avec Foggy (en train d'oeuvrer à la réintégration de Matt, à l'époque rayé du barreau...).

A psycho-killer was poisoning medicines and had to be stopped. It turned out the killer was a former employee of the drug firm that had been fired after he failed to adapt to the technical evolvutions of his job (computers). A little departure from the classic crossover formula is that the same story was told in two issues, each with a different point view.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Leur deuxième rencontre survint lors d'un crossover entre leurs deux séries. Un pyschopathe empoisonnait des médicaments à New York. Le tueur se révéla être un ancien employé d'une société pharmaceutique, renvoyé suite à l'informatisation de son poste et incapable de retrouver un autre job. Ce crossover était un peu spécial car dans deux numéros, il racontait la même histoire mais sous deux angles différents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SeMwLTTSBfI/AAAAAAAAAlI/nAI-tziW3bI/s1600-h/Daredevil+-+257+-+The+Bully+-+12detail1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 143px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SeMwLTTSBfI/AAAAAAAAAlI/nAI-tziW3bI/s400/Daredevil+-+257+-+The+Bully+-+12detail1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324152155199899122" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;DD v1 #257 was written by Ann Nocenti and the art was by JRJR and Al Williamson.&lt;br /&gt;We were treated with another duel on a rooftop, commented by a inner monologue by the Killer himself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;L'épisode 257 de DD était par l'équipe Nocenti-Romita Jr-Williamson qui nous servit un nouveau duel sur les toits, commenté par un monologue interne du tueur lui-même.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SeMwLdb_HyI/AAAAAAAAAlQ/nPr1C9fNbJs/s1600-h/Daredevil+-+257+-+The+Bully+-+12detail2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 123px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SeMwLdb_HyI/AAAAAAAAAlQ/nPr1C9fNbJs/s400/Daredevil+-+257+-+The+Bully+-+12detail2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324152157920763682" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;First, eye contact... /&lt;/span&gt; Duel à coup de regards&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SeMwLhgeyXI/AAAAAAAAAlY/uurGfBWGabY/s1600-h/Daredevil+-+257+-+The+Bully+-+13detail1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 129px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SeMwLhgeyXI/AAAAAAAAAlY/uurGfBWGabY/s400/Daredevil+-+257+-+The+Bully+-+13detail1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324152159013357938" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;then fists contacts ! /&lt;/span&gt; ... puis à coups de poing !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;In a way, where Frank Miller said DD and the Punisher were half-right, Nocenti is stating they're half-wrong : because they're behaving like bullies, refusing to consider another point of view. They pretend to fight for justice but only follow their own law.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;D'une certaine manière, là où Frank Miller avait rendu un jugement semi-positif, Ann Nocenti donne un avis semi-négatif : DD et le Punisher se comporte comme des tyrans, ne considérant que leur seul avis.

Is he so different from the Punisher ?

To stop dealers who were selling drug at school, Daredevil wanted to find the head of the organization and have him arrested. The Punisher just wanted him dead. Simple plot but very efficient.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Leur première rencontre remonte au run de Frank Miller, dans un arc intitulé "Jeux d'enfant" (numéro 182 à 184). Pour arrêter un trafic de stupéfiants dans une école, Daredevil cherche à faire arrêter un gros bonnet de la drogue que le Punisher essaye d'abattre.

So it shouldn't be too bad (I have a weak spot for ninjas).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;C'est officiel depuis quelques temps, Brubaker quittera la série Daredevil à la fin de l'histoire en cours : "Return of the King". Un récit avec DD, le Caïd, Lady Bullseye et la Main (terrible clan Ninja) !

Too bad she's dating Winter Soldier-Cap these days... Hey Bru, can't you fix that ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;C'est ma copine de DD préférée. Mais elle est branchée avec le nouveau Captain America... Ed Brubaker la ramènera-t-elle un jour dans la vie de Matt ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;So Natasha Romanov is a redhead woman, russian super-spy with an arachnean name ? Where should we go from there ?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;There's a known cocktail called Black Widow (based on sambucca, vodka and other stuff). I don't have Sambucca in my bar and never tasted it. And at 70+ bottles, I'm trying to limit my purchases for "sure things". I don't want to track down and buy a bottle that will collect dust.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;There's also the "Widow's Kiss" (apple brandy, yellow Chartreuse, Benedictine and angostura).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Natasha Romanov, super espionne russe et rousse avec un nom d'araignée... où cela pouvait bien mener ?&lt;br /&gt;Un cocktail Black Widow est assez connu, composé, entre autres,  de vodka et de sambucca.  Mais ce dernier manque à mon bar et ne fait pas partie de mes achats planifiés (je ne sais plus où mettre toutes les bouteilles).&lt;br /&gt;J'ai aussi trouvé le "Widow's Kiss" (calvados, chartreuse jaune, bénédictine et angostura).&lt;br /&gt;"A partir de là", je suis allé vers... le Black Widow's Kiss&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;So... what about the Black Widow's kiss ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SbgZYMsTXEI/AAAAAAAAAi4/PpsiLAwdOpE/s1600-h/IMG_1149.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SbgZYMsTXEI/AAAAAAAAAi4/PpsiLAwdOpE/s320/IMG_1149.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312023663998098498" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;3cl of Blackberry Brandy &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;(Crème de mûres)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;1,5 cl of Green Chartreuse&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;1,5 cl of Benedictine&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Angostura Bitters&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Shake - Cocktail Glass - Suggested garnish : Blackberry (had none, out of season).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pas de déco, je pensais à des mûres mais j'en avais plus (c'est au pied du mur que...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SbgaVd60ztI/AAAAAAAAAjA/Bye2uRjowLY/s1600-h/IMG_1153.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SbgaVd60ztI/AAAAAAAAAjA/Bye2uRjowLY/s320/IMG_1153.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312024716594433746" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;This drink turned out a tad too sweet but not too bad.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Un peu trop sucré mais pas si mal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;As a contingency plan, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);" href="http://www.scienceofdrink.com/2009/03/07/taste-of-some-russian-names/"&gt;Science of Drink&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt; gave me the Natasha :&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En plan B, le blog &lt;a href="http://www.scienceofdrink.com/2009/03/07/taste-of-some-russian-names/"&gt;Science of Drink&lt;/a&gt; m'a fait découvrir le Natasha :&lt;br /&gt;3 cll vodka&lt;br /&gt;1,5 cl Cointreau&lt;br /&gt;1,5 cl creme de banane&lt;br /&gt;1,5 cl strawberry liqueur&lt;br /&gt;Shake.

Like 2D fighting games.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bien qu'étant amateur de cocktails et de breuvages un peu complexes, j'aime aussi les choses simples. Comme les jeux de baston. &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, when I discovered a Daredevil character had been developped on &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M.U.G.E.N"&gt;MUGEN&lt;/a&gt;, I had to download it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alors quand j'ai vu qu'un perso de DD existait pour &lt;a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/MUGEN_%28jeu_vid%C3%A9o%29"&gt;MUGEN&lt;/a&gt;, je l'ai vite téléchargé.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SV-kzYDBG5I/AAAAAAAAAf8/zsNsO_xLBTQ/s1600-h/OldDdcap1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SV-kzYDBG5I/AAAAAAAAAf8/zsNsO_xLBTQ/s320/OldDdcap1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287125690091641746" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;But the thing is, the standard character in MUGEN is only developped with one "view" (facing left or right, the same image is used). And for DD, it's a bit frustrating as we can see the DD logo reverted or the billy club holster shifting from one leg to the other...&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;So, something had to be done to fix that.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;I asked permission from the original authors of the character and here is my version, with asymetric sprites so DD can look right on both sides of the screen.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SV-lNfz85WI/AAAAAAAAAgE/nv0Z5SqKgbM/s1600-h/NewDdcap13.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SV-lNfz85WI/AAAAAAAAAgE/nv0Z5SqKgbM/s320/NewDdcap13.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287126138852533602" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SV-ixklCcbI/AAAAAAAAAfs/bIOho5pRq04/s1600-h/NewDdcap7.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SV-ixklCcbI/AAAAAAAAAfs/bIOho5pRq04/s320/NewDdcap7.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287123460072567218" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Mais, en standard, les persos MUGEN sont uniquement développés avec une seule vue (la même image est utilisée que le personnage soit sur la gauche ou la droite de l'écran). Et pour DD, c'est un peu gênant, car on voit son logo inversé et son étui de lasso-canne se balader d'une jambe à l'autre.&lt;br /&gt;Il fallait donc faire quelque chose.&lt;br /&gt;Avec la permission des  auteurs de la version existante, j'ai updaté le personnage avec des images complémentaires, afin que le logo et l'étui apparaissent toujours "à l'endroit".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SV-i6gBvvjI/AAAAAAAAAf0/dTrXHF4jPMI/s1600-h/NewDdcap9.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SV-i6gBvvjI/AAAAAAAAAf0/dTrXHF4jPMI/s320/NewDdcap9.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287123613469621810" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;It's been a lot of work just to fix a perhaps un-noticed detail but I felt I had to try.

La défiance de Matt Murdock envers l'alcool pourrait s'expliquer par quelques exemples très négatifs que lui ont donné certains de ses proches...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;First, his father Jonathan "Battling Jack" Murdock was an occasional drinker.

When will a DD writer explore this ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On peut donc comprendre que DD soit peu porté sur l'alcool mais je pense que c'est dommage pour un personnage au goût et à l'odorat surdéveloppés, il passe à côté de chouettes trucs.

He ended with a splinter of glass shoved in his chest. When he pulled it out, his lung was sucking blood and air and the bakery's owner came with waxed paper to try to slow down the sucking...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Miller introduit la scène par un souvenir d'enfance de Matt : il avait vu un homme nommé Guido Contavespi traverser la vitrine  d'une boulangerie. En retirant un éclat de verre de sa poitrine, le sang et l'air étaient aspirés par le poumon perforé (c'est du pur Miller, pas gore du tout...). Le boulanger avait accouru avec du papier sulfurisé pour freiner l'aspiration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SUUyuM9jXvI/AAAAAAAAAdQ/nOgadtGFNIM/s1600-h/z20b.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 136px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SUUyuM9jXvI/AAAAAAAAAdQ/nOgadtGFNIM/s400/z20b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279681907496541938" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" &gt;"Hey, are they having cocktails ?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;We don't get to see Matt at his most heroic, but the scene, though a bit too cliché, makes him a very human character (some would say a stone cold player and a jerk but that's just a p.o.v.), more relatable than many heroes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Peter Parker would probably have refused the drink because he had to go back home to see his Aunt May.&lt;br /&gt;Clark Kent would have had an already busy agenda shared between Lois Lane and Wonder Woman.&lt;br /&gt;Bruce Wayne would not have had the drink either... because he would have known what was coming next.&lt;br /&gt;That's the thing about the Batman, he thinks of everything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt; Ce n'est pas une facette très héroïque du personnage mais ce genre de scène contribue à le rendre plus humain (certains diront "salaud") que beaucoup d'autres héros.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;Peter Parker aurait sans doute du refuser pour aller s'occuper de Tante May.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;Clark Kent aurait décliné, son agenda étant déjà réservé pour Lois Lane et Wonder Woman.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;Bruce Wayne aurait dit non car il savait comment les choses s'enchaîneraient (oui, Batman sait tout et prévoit tout).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SUUzKTURjUI/AAAAAAAAAdY/pmzjZILzHSk/s1600-h/z21a.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 369px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SUUzKTURjUI/AAAAAAAAAdY/pmzjZILzHSk/s400/z21a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279682390238793026" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"Ce n'était pas de l'amour.

A "human" moment that doesn't seem forced or fake.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On ne saura pas trop ce que boivent Matt et Foggy (ils tiennent des verres à whisky, avec des glaçons). Mais si le description des boissons est négligée, l'ambiance de bar est assez bien rendue. Cette histoire dans son ensemble est assez peu appréciée par les fans de DD mais j'aime plutôt bien cette scène finale. Matt et Foggy partagent un verre, parlent des femmes, plaisantent et passent un bon moment. Une scène où ressort le côté humain de Daredevil, sans que cela paraisse forcé ou artificiel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Catégorie : Blogging_Comics&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2028892231567609462-3316250687209359789?l=redshaker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://redshaker.blogspot.com/feeds/3316250687209359789/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2028892231567609462&amp;postID=3316250687209359789' title='2 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2028892231567609462/posts/default/3316250687209359789'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2028892231567609462/posts/default/3316250687209359789'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://redshaker.blogspot.com/2008/12/daredevils-drinks-episode-2.html' title='Daredevil&apos;s drinks - Episode 2'/><author><name>JP Nguyen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03451668699641615987</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/TMvr46bhnwI/AAAAAAAABBo/hbUA2jhhsj0/S220/Profil.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SUUKwN4_z_I/AAAAAAAAAcw/h8HXxXI35QQ/s72-c/267a.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2028892231567609462.post-9039184166451339473</id><published>2008-12-14T11:32:00.009+01:00</published><updated>2008-12-14T16:46:50.441+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='beer'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='daredevil'/><title type='text'>Daredevil's drinks - Episode 1</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;From now on, posts will be both in English &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;and&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;French &lt;/span&gt;!&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Daredevil has super-senses, including super-taste, so his choices of drinks should be refined, yes ?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Nope.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;First, most of the time, authors prefer to use the Bretzel to illustrate how sharp DD's tasting is (like the Bretzel was the universal measuring scale for taste).&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Then, there's n&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;ot a lot of pictures of Matt drinking (well, he's not Tony Stark, after all).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Daredevil a des sens surdéveloppés, dont celui du goût, en matière d'alcool, cela en ferait-il un homme de goût ?

During my first trip in 2003, I got to be on the East Coast (NYC, Boston) and drank all kind of stuff (mainly beers, coffee and chemical fruit juice) but no Manhattan. Yes, even while I was in Manhattan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, as I went back to the USA to visit the parks of the West for our honeymoon, I had this line on my to-do-list : have a Manhattan in a cocktail lounge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had to wait til the very last days of the trip (not many cocktail lounges in National Parks), when I was in San Francisco. There I got to meet a cousin (Hi David!) and we went to the &lt;a href="http://www.westinstfrancis.com/clock_bar/index.cfm"&gt;Clock Bar&lt;/a&gt;, located in the lobby of the Westin St Francis, on Union Square.&lt;br /&gt;My cousin took a Chartreuse Swizzle (green chartreuse, velvet falernum, pineapple,&lt;br /&gt;fresh lime) and my wife had a Hemingway Daiquiri (la favorite rhum, maraschino,&lt;br /&gt;fresh grapefruit, fresh lime, grapefruit bitters).&lt;br /&gt;And I treated myself with an Uptown Manhattan : maker’s mark bourbon, amaro nonino,&lt;br /&gt;orange bitters, cherry brandy, served up with brandied cherries and burnt orange.&lt;br /&gt;The choice of amaro instead of classic vermouth was unusual. Orange bitters were a welcome change to the classic angostura.&lt;br /&gt;This Manhattan was good. My first concern was the glass didn't seem to have been pre-chilled, so my drink was warming up rather quickly. Also, Maker's Mark is not my number one choice for a Manhattan. Anyway, it must have been the most sophisticated Manhattan I ever had on my trips.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SQYD68bn3DI/AAAAAAAAAYI/hzhdEkujGL8/s1600-h/clock5a.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 284px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SQYD68bn3DI/AAAAAAAAAYI/hzhdEkujGL8/s400/clock5a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261897525818285106" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Catégorie : Blogging_Cocktails&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2028892231567609462-1894562044401109285?l=redshaker.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://redshaker.blogspot.com/feeds/1894562044401109285/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2028892231567609462&amp;postID=1894562044401109285' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2028892231567609462/posts/default/1894562044401109285'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2028892231567609462/posts/default/1894562044401109285'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://redshaker.blogspot.com/2008/10/my-manhattans-around-world-episode-4.html' title='My Manhattans around the world - Episode 4 : San Francisco'/><author><name>JP Nguyen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03451668699641615987</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/TMvr46bhnwI/AAAAAAAABBo/hbUA2jhhsj0/S220/Profil.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j2S2jt5TgbE/SQYD68bn3DI/AAAAAAAAAYI/hzhdEkujGL8/s72-c/clock5a.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2028892231567609462.post-6694456048475905550</id><published>2008-10-27T08:00:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2008-10-27T19:11:13.119+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='manhattan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='travels'/><title type='text'>My Manhattans around the world - Episode 3 : Prague</title><content type='html'>It was in July 2005.&lt;br /&gt;A friend (the one who had the Pina Colada in HK) and I went to "La Perle de Prague", a restaurant run by a french chef.&lt;br /&gt;Before the dinner, he ordered a Brandy Alexander.
