Mark Millar Libri

Immaginate una realtà in cui la superpotenza più grande del mondo non è cresciuta a Smallville, in Kansas, né tantomeno in America... Superman: Stella Rossa è una narrazione fresca ambientata nei tempi paranoici della Guerra Fredda. Nel cuore dell'Unione Sovietica atterra un'astronave che porta a bordo un bambino. Il ragazzo viene cresciuto in una cooperativa agricola, diventando il simbolo di tutto il popolo sovietico; negli anni '50 diventa noto come Superman e cambia il mondo quasi irriconoscibilmente... Tuttavia, si trova dall'altra parte della barricata rispetto a Batman, Lex Luthor e molti altri vecchi amici.

Uno scontro tra superesseri causa la morte di quasi 900 persone a Stamford, Connecticut. Sull’onda del lutto, il governo rende obbligatoria la registrazione degli eroi mascherati. E se Iron Man è tra i sostenitori più convinti del provvedimento, Capitan America non sembra pensarla alla stessa maniera… È in arrivo una Guerra Civile tra supereroi!

Il miglior fumetto sui supereroi di tutti i tempi! Volevate mai diventare un supereroe? Ma sul serio? Dave Lizewski lo voleva. Ma, a differenza di voi o di me, non si accontentava di semplici sogni. Progettando il suo costume e adottando il soprannome di Kick-Ass, Dave ha deciso di intraprendere un'azione che avrebbe reso la sua grigia esistenza molto più eccitante. Magari, nel frattempo, potrebbe anche aiutare alcune persone. Ma poiché Kick-Ass non ha poteri speciali e i più spietati criminali di New York hanno un vantaggio numerico su di lui, il nuovo eroe si trova di fronte a una sfida inaspettata. Quando, grazie a un video di una delle sue azioni caricato su un popolare sito web, la sua identità da supereroe inizia a guadagnare sempre più fan, e in città compaiono altri giustizieri improvvisati, David si rende conto che la sua attività extracurricolare sta diventando pericolosa, forse persino stupida. Ma una volta iniziato, è difficile abbandonare questo impegno.

Avete mai desiderato essere dei supereroi? Avete mai sognato di indossare un costume, una maschera e uscire a spaccare qualche faccia? In questo secondo volume, si conclude la storia che inizia là dove nessun altro fumetto ha mai osato avventurarsi. Grazie a Mark Millar (“Civil War”, “Ultimates”) e John Romita, Jr. (“Spider-Man”, “World War Hulk”), gli stessi autori del successo “Wolverine: Nemico pubblico”, il realismo nei supereroi ha un nuovo volto.

In a dystopic future California, Wolverine seeks to live in peace, but is once again recruited as a mutant enforcer and battles super-villains including Kingpin, Doctor Doom, and Norman Osborn.

Začíná přituhovat. Iron Man se zamiloval, Hulk má být popraven za masakr v New Yorku, Thor si založil sektu, Giant-Man se spouští se skupinou druhořadých superhridnů, Wasp začíná chápat, že chodit s Captainem Americou, který si víc rozumí s lidmi kolem osmdesátky, nebude žádná sranda... a navíc je v týmu zrádce, který vynáší tajné informace. A to je jen rozjezd. Uplynul už rok od zastavení mimozemské invaze a první americký superhrdinský tým zase už zaplňuje pouze stránky bulváru. Kdo se rozvedl, kdo se oženil, kdo s kým chodí, kdo se zbláznil, prostě nic extra zajímavého – aspoň do chvíle, než se provalí, že Hulk, který zničil polovinu New Yorku, je ve skutečnosti člen Ultimates Bruce Banner… a brzo taky prvním superhrdinou, který dostane trest smrti. A to je jen začátek problémů.

Američané mají superhrdiny. To si Rusko, Čína a Blízký Východ nemůžou nechat líbit. A tak se objevuje konkurence týmu Ultimates, která má jediný cíl. Pokořit Ameriku. Pokořit své protivníky. A jelikož je Hulk mrtvý, Iron Man se žení, Thor je na cestě do blázince, Captain America obviněný ze zrady, většina ostatních superhrdinů za mřížemi nebo mrtvá, tak se zdá, že je se světem konec. Finále druhé sezóny Ultimates je monumentální tak, že vedle něj vypadají filmy Rolanda Emmericha jako komorní ibsenovská dramata.

Jeden z největších fenoménů poslední doby – historie Marvelu vzatá pěkně od začátku, moderně… a také dost drsně. Komiks míchá cool scény a monumentální souboje s temnou a cynickou vizí nejslavnějších superhrdinů světa. V první knize se hrdinové střetli se svým vlastním kolegou, v druhé už konečně přichází to, co tak potřebovali – protivníci. Na Zemi zaútočí mimozemská rasa – a do týmu přichází noví členové: Bleskový Quicksilver a magická Scarlet Witch (jejichž vztah není zřejmě jen sourozenecký), střelec Hawkey a tajemná Black Widow.
