Sollicitation Avril 2015 : Image Comics

Et hop voici les sollicitations d’Image Comics pour le mois d’avril prochain !! Comme d’habitude, l’actu se partage entre lancement de nouvelles séries et suites de titres attendus !!

Coté nouvelles séries, je suis assez intéressé par :

– le prequel Jupiter Circle. Apparemment, Millar a compris qu’il avait besoin d’occuper un peu plus le terrain qu’une fois par an…Son monde est suffisamment riche et surtout la période de temps suffisamment large pour être pertinente. Cependant, il faudra que cette nouvelle mini apporte quelque chose à la série régulière.

– Pisces, nouvelle série du scénariste de Rat Queens. Apparemment, après la fantasy, il s’engouffre également dans la SF, un genre déjà très présent chez Image.

– le retour de Luther Strode pour une 3e mini série, qui sera en principe la dernière. Il est amusant de voir que Tradd Moore s’est fait un nom auprès d’un public plus large ces derniers temps, donc cette fois le succès pourrait être plus que d’estime pour cette série bien punchy dans ta face…

Du côté des séries régulières :

–  nouvel arc pour Birthright et Autumnlands, les deux séries fantasy d’Image.  Le secret qui englobe les épisodes de Chew en ce moment, est intriguant. Mais aussi la suite de Saga, Velvet, Invincible (je sens le largage d’une nouvelle bombe ici…), la tension monte apparemment dans Alex + Ada, etc !

 

JUPITER’S CIRCLE #1
STORY: MARK MILLAR
ART: WILFREDO TORRES
COVERS A / B: FRANK QUITELY
COVER C: BILL SIENKIEWICZ
COVER D: GORAN PARLOV
APRIL 8 / 32 PAGES / FC / M / $3.50
The most celebrated superheroes in mid-century America seem to have it all — fame, riches, adoration — but tensions simmer beneath the glossy surface, threatening to crack open the secrets behind their public AND private exploits. Before the family dynasty in JUPITER’S LEGACY began, there was JUPITER’S CIRCLE — a story about a team whose personal dramas collide with super-powered spectacle!

SAVIOR #1

STORY: TODD McFARLANE & BRIAN HOLGUIN
ART / COVER: CLAYTON CRAIN
APRIL 1 / 32 PAGES / FC / T+ / $2.99
What if the MOST DANGEROUS man on Earth was also the one trying to do the MOST GOOD?
The world is real. The people are normal. And then he appears!
A man appears with no background, no memory, and no place to call home. But he has powers. Powers that seem resemble those we learned about in Sunday School. Could it be?! Is it possible that this man is much, much more than that? Is it possible that he is our « SAVIOR » in the flesh? And if he is, then why doesn’t he know who he is or how he got his powers?
Strip away the spandex and trappings of the traditional comic superhero and ask yourself the simple question of, « How would I react if GOD suddenly appeared in front of me, but everything we had been taught about him seem out of whack? » What you would have left, beyond your own doubts, is the presence of a man who has to deal with the fact that his appearance in the world is seen as both a blessing and a curse.
Some will see him as a hero; a messiah. Other will see him as an enemy because there isn’t room for a person with god-like powers to disrupt the status quo of what we already believe. Some will rally behind him. Others will denounce him. But none of us will be able to ignore him.
