Sollicitations DC Comics : Octobre 2011

Et oui, à quelques jours du San Comic-con, DC s’est enfin décidé à révéler ses sollicitations pour le mois d’Octobre. A ce jour, nous attendons encore celles de Marvel, mais je pense qu’ils se les gardent pour la fin de la semaine, au cas où ils auraient de nouveaux bouquins et de nouvelles équipes créatives, comme certaines rumeurs le laissent entendre.

J’ai assez peu de commentaires à faire ce mois ci, étant donné que pour le moment nous n’avons encore rien lu. Mais mon intérêt pour les titres Superman est désormais proche du néant, à la suite des dernières informations révélées.

Je suis toujours inquiet de voir que Bruce Wayne est le seul Batman en activité, avec une pelletée de titres à son nom seul. Bien entendu j’attends beaucoup de certains titres comme le Batman de Scott Snyder, la Batwoman de J.H.Williams III, mais aussi la Wonder Woman de Brian Azzarello (avec ou sans pantalon, c’est bien sur le débat essentiel du moment).

Par contre je suis inquiet de ne pas voir le relaunch de THUNDER agents de Nick Spencer, en Novembre ? Mais attention dans cette montagne de nouveaux titres, je vois le Spaceman de Azzarello et Risso !

Par contre du côté des TPB pas mal de choses intéressantes, avec bien sur le premier TPB justement des THUNDER agents, et le début d’une réédition de No man’s land, que perso j’ai raté.

  1. Comme prévu grosse déception avec ce qu’ils vont faire des personnages de wildstorm. C’est le background de l’univers ws qui faisait leur “âme” (io, bendix, les kherubim, le coda, halo corporation etc …), et sans ça c’est juste des caricatures de super hero.
    Y avait pas que du bon chez ws loin de là, mais rappelez vous pour ceux qui les ont lu les wildcats v2 et 3, point blank/sleeper, stormwatch phd, planetary et tant d’autres pépites …

    Peut être ça peut donner l’impression que je radote, chaque fois je viens pleurer sur wildstorm, mais ça m’énerve vraiment qu’ils annihilent les meilleurs trucs du début des années 2000 qui ont accompagné ma découverte des comics pour l’intégrer dans le mainstream.
