Sollicitations Novembre 2012 : Image Comics

Et voici les sollicitations des sorties Image pour le mois de novembre. Comme d’habitude maintenant, l’éditeur lance pas mal de nouveaux titres avec des concepts tous très originaux.

Du côté des titres historiques, la sollicitation de Spawn m’a bien fait marrer entre l’hommage à Watchmen et la prise en compte des résultats de l’élection américaine. Cela fait maintenant quelques mois que l’on note que Todd McFarlane fait tout pour faire bouger sa création et surtout pour qu’on parle d’elle.

On note aussi le retour de Saga après une pause de quelques mois avec la sortie du numéro 7 et inutile de dire que l’attente va être longue pour nous tous !
