\"Comic[FRENCH] Un thriller qui se passe en Islande, \u00e7a a quand m\u00eame plus de gueule qu’un polar qui se d\u00e9roule en Ard\u00e8che… L’Islande, ses sources d’eau chaude, ses elfes et l\u00e9gendes qui insufflent du myst\u00e8re aux plus petits gestes du quotidien. Ses temp\u00e9ratures \u00e0 \u2013 30\u00b0 qui font de chaque sortie \u00e0 l’ext\u00e9rieur un acte h\u00e9ro\u00efque. En feuilletant en vitesse rapide la BD de Murphy et Hawthorne, je tombe sur des pingouins. Un comics qui contient des pingouins ne peut pas \u00eatre tout \u00e0 fait mauvais. La pr\u00e9sence des pingouins a un impact sur le suspens et la trame de l’histoire. Les pingouins sont plut\u00f4t rassurants quand l’oeil s’attarde un peu trop sur les noms des h\u00e9ro\u00efnes. Askja Thorasdottir et l’inspecteur de police Freya skulasdottir (que ceux qui ont r\u00e9ussi \u00e0 le prononcer sans b\u00e9gayer r\u00e9clament leur prix \u00e0 la r\u00e9daction de Comic Box). Et pourtant quand vous parvenez \u00e0 d\u00e9passer les barri\u00e8res patronymiques, vous d\u00e9couvrez avec d\u00e9lice une BD qui vous tient en haleine jusqu’\u00e0 la derni\u00e8re page…<\/p>\n

\"Umbra\"Askja est m\u00e9decin l\u00e9giste (un bien beau m\u00e9tier) pour la police islandaise. Elle va devoir se frotter \u00e0 une affaire abracabrandesque aussi simple \u00e0 d\u00e9m\u00ealer qu’une \u00e9nigme tordue du p\u00e8re Fouras. Un squelette est d\u00e9couvert dans une grotte par des sp\u00e9l\u00e9ologues du dimanche. Le squelette est un grand bavard et r\u00e9v\u00e8le que le corps appartenait \u00e0 une femme de N\u00e9anderthal. Jusqu’ici, tout va bien. Sauf que le corps \u00e9tait envelopp\u00e9 dans un manteau United Colors of Benetton (encore un coup m\u00e9diatique) et qu’une balle, provenant d’un r\u00e9volver d’un soldat de l’ex-URSS, est la cause de sa mort (Benetton, la Russie, la pr\u00e9histoire, \u00e7a fait beaucoup). Askja est entra\u00een\u00e9e malgr\u00e9 elle dans une enqu\u00eate polici\u00e8re \u00e0 rebondissement o\u00f9 les pi\u00e8ces du puzzle se mettent en place une par une pour sortir des sentiers du surnaturel et retrouver une explication logique au fil de l’histoire…<\/p>\n

Ombres et lumi\u00e8res…<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

Les amateurs de bons polars vont se r\u00e9galer. L’enqu\u00eate d’Umbra est bien ficel\u00e9. Les indices permettent de remonter le fil de l’affaire sans r\u00e9ussir \u00e0 trouver facilement le s\u00e9same de la solution. On flirte constamment entre policier et fantastique dans un parfait \u00e9quilibre qui m\u00e9nage le suspens. La richesse d’Umbra vient de la consistance du personnage d’Askja. Un portrait de femme tout en finesse. S\u00fbre d’elle quand il s’agit de diss\u00e9quer tout ce qui bouge, les failles apparaissent sous la forme d’une angoisse latente qui lui fait gober des anxiolitiques comme des bonbons. Des peurs qu’elle finira par affronter avec l’aide de sa derni\u00e8re rencontre amoureuse, la splendissime Freya, qui jouera les anges gardiens un peu trash (mais tellement sexy). Les dessins en noir et blanc plongent au coeur d’un bon vieux polar. Les traits sont coup\u00e9s au couteau (une dissection graphique o\u00f9 les personnages donnent l’impression d’\u00eatre vus sous microscope). L’action se profile d\u00e8s la premi\u00e8re page pour ne s’arr\u00eater qu’\u00e0 la derni\u00e8re bulle. Chaque d\u00e9tail est un indice dans cette enqu\u00eate o\u00f9 l’on se laisse entra\u00eener, attacher par les personnages et par l’histoire.<\/p>\n
