Et voici les sollicitations Image pour le mois de Janvier prochain !!! avec son lot de nouveautés enthousiasmantes !!!
A noter ainsi le lancement d’une nouvelle série par Hickman, parce que Fuck It, avoir 4 séries en cours dont certains bimestrielles c’est pas encore assez !!! Encore une fois ça a l’air bien déglingué donc incontournable ! Du côté de chez Top Cow, j’ai un peu l’impression d’un cri de désespoir avec le lancement IXth Generation qui amalgame les différentes franchises de la maison…Bon c’est dessiné par Sejic, donc ça vaut la peine de jeter un coup d’oeil.
Je ne sais pas pour vous, mais je ne vais pas rater l’épisode spécial Criminal. Pour la première fois depuis presque 5 ans, Brubaker et Phillips reviennent dans cet univers en s’intéressant à une des familles les plus célèbres qu’ils ont crée. Le one shot sera ainsi centré sur le père Lawless, ordure connue et reconnue…
L’autre évènement c’est bien entendu le 250e épisode de Spawn. Une marque de longévité d’autant plus remarquable à l’heure où les grands éditeurs relancent sans complexe toutes leurs séries.
