Et voici les sollicitations Image pour le mois de novembre prochain, qui amènent comme toujours désormais son lot de nouvelles séries. Non, je ne ferais pas de commentaire sur la nouvelle série de Matt Fraction…mais je vois que la SF reste très en vogue chez les scénaristes en ce moment, si bien que je suis ravi de voir Busiek essayer de toucher un peu à la fantasy que je trouve délaissée ces derniers temps (oui je suis dans une phase fantasy…).
A noter au passage le 200e épisode de Savage Dragon, qui me rappelle que décidément j’ai pris du retard sur cette série…et le lancement de la mini série Prophet Earth War qui va conclure la série

Une petite question, peut être un peu bête mais tant pis :
Toutes les sorties de Image sont des formats de 32 pages ou bien cette pagination tient compte d’éventuelles pubs ?
Je demande, parce que tout ce que j’ai de chez eux (en VF), c’est des numéros de 22 pages, donc je me demande s’ils ont augmenté depuis.
Sinon, y’a des choses qui ont l’air vachement bien mais j’attendrai la VF pour voir ce qui sort ou pas. j’espère surtout qu’on aura Lazarus et j’attends Velvet pour la fin de l’année.
Il n’y a pas de question bête!
l n’y a pas de pub dans les publications Image à part pour… d’autres publications Image, à la fin du comic, ainsi que selon l’envie des auteurs, des pages de prose, de courrier de lecteurs, de bonus,… Les auteurs sont maîtres de ce qu’ils mettent dans leurs bouquins, comme le montre Brubaker et ses très inteessantes pages de dossier sur des thématiques propres à ses séries (sur Fatale, Velvet et Fade Out), , les hilarantes et loooooongues pages de courrier de lecteurs et de “Sex tips” de Fraction et Zdarsky dans Sex Criminals, les pinups et concours photos des lecteurs dans Chew,… D’ailleurs ce sont des choses qu’on ne retrouve jamais dans les TPB, c’est exclusif aux singles et souvent très sympa!
Point culture : un comic de 20 ou 22 ou 24 pages dessinées fera toujours 32 pages, c’est la règle de l’imposition en imprimerie qui veut cela : http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imposition_(imprimerie)
Merci pour la réponse et ces petits précisions, notamment sur les bonus, je savais pas que certaine séries y avaient recours de la sorte 😉
Je n’ai pas pris le temps de compter mais ils sortent tout de même un nombre de titres impressionnant.
Il me semble qu’il n’y a pas de publicités dans les publications image du moins dans le peu que je lis en vo ces derniers temps il n’y en avait pas.
