\"Comic[FRENCH] Erreur strat\u00e9gique c\u00f4t\u00e9 martiens. Vouloir envahir l’Angleterre c’est comme forcer une ceinture de chastet\u00e9 \u00e0 la serrure grip\u00e9e. Les deux sont compl\u00e8tement imprenables. Les martiens se sont cass\u00e9s les dents sur la belle Albion et en plus ils\u00a0y ont laiss\u00e9 des plumes de leur technologie moderne. Les Anglais sont les rois de la r\u00e9cup’. A la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 victorienne un peu guind\u00e9e, se sont fondues dans le d\u00e9cor les avanc\u00e9s martiennes, pour donner \u00e0 la ville un paysage baroque. Mais derri\u00e8re ce cadre idyllique londonnien se cache une affaire de meurtres en s\u00e9rie qui, pour une fois, ne fera pas la Une des tablo\u00efds anglais.<\/p>\n

\"ScarletQuand Israeli m\u00e8le avec talent l’architecture victorienne \u00e0 la technologie martienne, Londres est plong\u00e9e dans une uchronie qui ouvre une voie royale au myst\u00e8re de l’intrigue. Dix ans apr\u00e8s la guerre, la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 anglaise semble avoir assimil\u00e9 la culture martienne dont elle n’a gard\u00e9 que le meilleur, sans pour autant se priver de son tea-time. Tout va donc pour le mieux dans le meilleur des mondes (Aldous Huxley si tu nous \u00e9coutes). Les Anglais vivent dans une apparente f\u00e9licit\u00e9 mais la prosp\u00e9rit\u00e9 technologique comporte ses revers. Les machines ont mis les hommes au chom\u00e2ge, la pauvret\u00e9 pousse les jeunes filles des campagnes \u00e0 r\u00e9pondre aux petites annonces douteuses de femmes de m\u00e9nage et \u00e0 venir travailler en ville. Les jeunes na\u00efves disparaissent dans la nature, des corps morts se ramasssent \u00e0 la pelle (Yves Montant si tu nous lis) sur les berges de la Tamise. Mais l’affaire est \u00e9touff\u00e9e dans une indiff\u00e9rence g\u00e9n\u00e9ralis\u00e9e (si on commence \u00e0 pleurer pour une Cosette…). Heureusement parmi les citoyens robotis\u00e9s, se trouvent encore des esprits libres pour combattre le fl\u00e9au des morts en s\u00e9rie et mener l’enqu\u00eate…<\/p>\n

A la trace…<\/strong><\/p>\n

En p\u00e9riode de paix, les militaires s’ennuient \u00e0 compter leurs blessures de guerre. Le major Robert Autumn en profite pour \u00e9crire ses m\u00e9moires, pendant que le sergent Archibald Currie a rang\u00e9 sa mitrailleuse pour enfiler son petit tablier sexy de majordome. Bref, calme plat et petite d\u00e9prime… Heureusement que le fr\u00e8re d’Archibald d\u00e9barque en effraction avec une affaire br\u00fblante sous le bras. Sa fille, qui avait r\u00e9pondu \u00e0 une petite annonce, a disparu. Il n’en faut pas plus aux deux militaires pour reprendre du service et se transformer en Sherlock Holmes et docteur Watson. Ils finissent par remonter le fil de l’histoire qui les m\u00e8nent \u00e0 l’horreur de la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 (Mars Attacks, le retour).<\/p>\n

Mauvais sang…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Les cadavres des jeunes vierges, retrouv\u00e9s \u00e0 l’abandon sont effroyablement pomp\u00e9s de leur sang (pauvres vierges). Tueurs en s\u00e9rie ou terrible vampire ? L’affaire n’agite pas les foules. Jack l’\u00e9ventreur avait plus de succ\u00e8s avec ses prostitu\u00e9es (la virginit\u00e9 ne fait plus commerce). Les jeunes femmes se cachent pour mourir. Elles servent d’ap\u00e9ritif \u00e0 un cerveau de martien qui alimente \u00e0 son tour les technologies utilis\u00e9es par l’empire. Il assure la maintenance, on lui assure le g\u00eete et le couvert. Que du premier choix : le sang de vierge c’est r\u00e9g\u00e9n\u00e9rant, nutritif, exsang de tout impuret\u00e9. En plus, la vierge sur le march\u00e9, ce n’est pas ce qui manque. Donc pas de rupture de stock.<\/p>\n

Y’aura toujours une vierge pour tomber dans la panneau. Mais pas toujours de justicier pour les aider. Robert Autumn finit dans le caniveau comme un clodo qui radote ses v\u00e9rit\u00e9s d’ivrogne que personne n’\u00e9coute pendant que les politiques galvanisent les foules pour repartir dans une guerre contre les martiens (rien de tel qu’une bonne guerre pour \u00e9touffer un scandale). Un h\u00e9ros condamn\u00e9 \u00e0 la d\u00e9ch\u00e9ance (\u00e7a devenait lassant les happy end), une masse silencieuse aveugl\u00e9e par les diversions d’un Etat qui r\u00e9forme \u00e0 tour de bras pour son seul int\u00e9r\u00eat personnel (toute ressemblance avec la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 ne serait que fortuite), le cynisme du sc\u00e9nario de Ian Edginton offre une critique en filigrane des soci\u00e9t\u00e9s modernes, parfaitement servi par les dessins d’Israeli, truff\u00e9s de clins d’oeil et d’intertextualit\u00e9 (le retour de Tintin au pays des martiens).<\/p>\n
