Sollicitations Novembre 2013 : Image Comics

Et voici les sollicitations d’Image pour le mois de novembre prochain, encore marquées par le lancement de nouveaux titres ! on peut se demander s’il ne va pas y avoir surchauffe à un moment. Plus sérieusement on se rend compte que seuls les titres lancés par des gros noms, comme ce mois-ci :

– Rick Remender avec Black Science, nouveau projet SF

– JMS et Protector Inc,

Seuls ces titres ont vraiment une chance de capter l’attention du public dans la masse immense de sorties mensuelles. Pour les autres il y a de grandes chances, sauf grosse surprise de type Revival l’année dernière, qu’il parvienne à s’extraire du fin fond du classement des ventes…C’est dommage et c’est un point qu’il faudrait qu’Image corrige, ainsi que les autres éditeurs, en arrêtant de lancer autant de séries à la fois. Le lectorat est limité et le noyer ne va rien aider.
