Et voici les sollicitations d’Image pour Février prochain !!! comme d’habitude pas mal de nouvelle séries et la suite de nos titres préférés !!!
Au programme non pas le relaunch de Spawn, puisque Todd McFarlane déteste cette pratique, mais un one shot spécial pour apparemment réintroduire le personnage auprès des fans et notamment présenter la nouvelle équipe créative du titre. En gros un bon jumping point toujours pour 3$…Nouvelle série pour Grant Morrison qui retrouve son compagnon de Batman Inc, l’excellent Chrs Burnham pour un titre…encore bien mystérieux. Bon en même temps, on en attendait pas moins du scénariste…
A surveiller aussi the empty, pour l’idée du monde post apo. La SF est très présente chez Image mais je crois que nous avons peu de titres dans cette veine.
Du côté des séries régulières, nous pouvons à nouveau respirer : Saga est de retour avec son 25e épisode !!! Mais aussi une conclusion, avec la fin du premier arc de Death Vigil que j’attends fébrilement. Le titre de Sejic est devenu l’une de mes lectures préférées ces derniers mois et je suis ravi que l’auteur ait rencontré suffisamment de succès pour lancer après cela d’autres arcs autour de la série. A priori au minimum 2 plus des épisodes spéciaux consacrés à certains personnages.
Je constate que cela va pas mal bouger du côté de Chew…en même temps, vu l’issue présentée dans l’épisode 44…
Enfin côté TPB, je vois beaucoup de choses…qui vont débarquer sans aucun doute en VF en 2015. En effet, désormais la plupart des hits d’Image trouvent une maison dans notre beau pays. Apparemment Urban a récupéré les séries de Remender et Hickman. Panini, celles de Millar, et Delcourt bien entendu Walking Dead, Chew, Spawn et je me demande si l’acquisition de Ghosted ne préfigure pas l’arrivée chez cet éditeur de titres comme Nailbiter ou encore et surtout Birthright.

Tucked away in a crime-ridden corner of New York City, he’s beginning to forge new alliances, preparing defenses, and testing out his newly acquired powers… because there’s a battle coming, and it’s something that makes the Heaven/Hell thing seem like a petty squabble. So just who did Al piss off so badly while he was away?
Introducing a bold new direction for SPAWN, as creator TODD McFARLANE hands the reins over to BRIAN WOOD (Star Wars, X-Men, DMZ) and JONBOY (Marvel Adventures, Araña). It all starts right here, and continues next month in SPAWN #251!

Eden operates as a haven for fugitive criminals who remain here while new identities, often including facial reconstruction, are created for them. There is zero tolerance for any illegal activity that might draw attention to the town and an “official murder” is the last thing they want. A single, tight-knit family runs Eden with the youngest oddball son Mark Shiffron overseeing the postal branch, the only means of shipping in or out of the city. THE FBI has repeatedly been foiled trying to insert an undercover here; they see Mark as the weak link to exploit. This murder gives them a new opportunity.
