A quelques temps de la sortie de la s\u00e9rie TV American Gods, adapt\u00e9e du roman de Neil Gaiman, l’histoire devient \u00e9galement l’objet d’un comic-book publi\u00e9 chez Dark Horse Comics. M\u00eame si Gaiman n’a pas directement dans l’\u00e9criture de cette version, il en reste l’inspiration majeure, alors que son comp\u00e8re P. Craig Russell chapeaute le projet.<\/p>\n

\"\"American Gods #1 [Dark Horse Comics]<\/strong>
\nSc\u00e9nario de P. Craig Russell (d’apr\u00e8s Neil Gaiman)
\nDessins de Scott Hampton et P. Craig Russell
\nParution aux USA le 15 mars 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n

Petite s\u00e9ance de \u00ab\u00a0rattrapage\u00a0\u00bb… D\u00e9sol\u00e9 : ce n’est pas vraiment une \u00ab\u00a0avant-premi\u00e8re\u00a0\u00bb puisqu’American Gods #1 est sorti d\u00e9j\u00e0 la semaine derni\u00e8re dans les comic-shops mais que bizarrement il nous est parvenu, \u00e0 nous, seulement dans l’arrivage de ce mercredi. On voudra bien excuser le d\u00e9calage de quelques jours en la mati\u00e8re, qui n’est pas de notre fait mais dans le m\u00eame temps il semble important de parler de ce qui reste une \u0153uvre majeure dans le parcours litt\u00e9raire de Neil Gaiman. L’autre retard myst\u00e9rieux, finalement, c’est bien le comment et le pourquoi ce roman, paru il y a d\u00e9j\u00e0 16 ans, a mis autant de temps \u00e0 se retrouver adapt\u00e9 en comics. Pas \u00ab\u00a0seulement\u00a0\u00bb parce qu’il est sign\u00e9 Gaiman. Tout ce que touche Gaiman n’est pas forc\u00e9ment compatible avec une conversion en comic-book. Mais \u00e0 l’inverse, en lisant le roman, on avait d\u00e9j\u00e0 la sensation qu’on \u00e9tait devant quelque chose qui supporterait tr\u00e8s bien la transition. Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere a bien trouv\u00e9 la route de Vertigo Comics mais American Gods est rest\u00e9 aux abonn\u00e9s absents sur ce terrain… C’est d’ailleurs sans doute un gros loup\u00e9 pour Vertigo, apr\u00e8s s’\u00eatre fris\u00e9 les moustaches sur le Sandman Overture<\/a> de Gaiman, d’avoir laiss\u00e9 passer ce projet qui fait maintenant la joie de Dark Horse. C’est P. Craig Russell, plus connu pour ses talents de dessinateurs (Elric, Sandman…) qui se charge d’adapter le roman en s’occupant du script et d’un premier d\u00e9coupage, rejoint par Scott Hampton en ce qui concerne les images finales.<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0Shadow did not believe in anything he could not see.\u00a0\u00bb<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Les annonces autour de l’arriv\u00e9e du comic semblaient parfois un peu contradictoires (Dark Horse a communiqu\u00e9 aussi bien sur le titre \u00ab\u00a0American Gods\u00a0\u00bb que \u00ab\u00a0American Gods: Shadow\u00a0\u00bb) alors que l’on annon\u00e7ait que l’histoire d\u00e9butait quand Shadow Moon, le h\u00e9ros du roman, \u00e9tait encore en prison. On pouvait donc se demander s’il ne s’agissait pas d’une \u00ab\u00a0pr\u00e9quelle\u00a0\u00bb au roman mais il n’en est rien. Il s’agit bien de l’adaptation fid\u00e8le de ce qui existe, d’une mise en images du roman (ce qui veut dire aussi que si vous avez fait l’impasse sur le livre, tout ce qui est n\u00e9cessaire est \u00e0 l’int\u00e9rieur, vous n’avez rien manqu\u00e9… si ce n’est la prose de Neil Gaiman mais bon c’est de votre faute). L’effet, forc\u00e9ment, est subjectif mais la combinaison de Russell et Hampton nous donne un Shadow Moon tel qu’il \u00e9tait tout \u00e0 fait imaginable en lisant Gaiman, qui ressemble plus au personnage que ce que le teaser de la s\u00e9rie TV nous a laiss\u00e9 entrevoir (elle sera peut-\u00eatre bien, ou pas, c’est un autre sujet). Le comic-book d’American Gods n’est donc certainement pas le plus produit de la s\u00e9rie TV \u00e0 venir mais joue bien la carte de la fid\u00e9lit\u00e9. L’obsession de Shadow Moon envers son \u00e9pouse, le manque physique qu’elle lui inspire, tout cela est tangible et bien servi. M\u00eame si on notera pourtant un d\u00e9faut propre \u00e0 certaines BD adaptant des romans, c’est \u00e0 dire une tendance un peu verbeuse sur certaines pages (la deuxi\u00e8me, par exemple). Il est vrai qu’on y parle beaucoup et que c’est essentiellement contemplatif (amateurs de big guns et de coups de poings dans la figure, ce n’est certainement pas pour vous, c’est certain). Dans la derni\u00e8re partie de l’\u00e9pisode, Russell reprend la main en ce qui concerne les dessins, nous livrant une sorte de r\u00e9cit parall\u00e8le. La qualit\u00e9 de production est certaine, m\u00eame si tout le monde n’appr\u00e9ciera pas forc\u00e9ment le ton \u00ab\u00a0pos\u00e9\u00a0\u00bb de la chose. M\u00eame si Gaiman n’est pas directement impliqu\u00e9, on y retrouve bien son esprit et c’est \u00e0 conseiller \u00e0 ceux qui jusqu’ici se sont reconnus dans ses BD les plus marquantes. Bref, comme expliqu\u00e9 plus haut, c’est sorti la semaine derni\u00e8re mais sans doute encore trouvable dans la plupart des comic-shops. S’il est \u00e9vident qu’on s’adresse en priorit\u00e9 aux fans de Gaiman, ils ne manqueront pas d’appr\u00e9cier tant la fid\u00e9lit\u00e9 est de mise.<\/p>\n[Xavier Fournier]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
