Sollicitations Avril 2012 : Image Comics

Comme d »habitude, pas mal de bonnes choses chez Image au mois d »avril. Entre la nouvelle série de Bryan Hitch America got powers,  mais aussi le nouveau creator-owned de Jonathan Hickman intitulé Secret à la couverture assez space !

Ensuite il y a les absences remarquées comme Invincible, alors que le titre devait reprendre un rythme régulier, mais aussi Morning Glories. Pour ce dernier le dessinateur a indiqué qu »il sautait le mois d »avril car ils étaient un peu en retard… mouais quand on sait les retards que connait l »autre creator owned de Spencer, Infinite Vacation, on peut commencer à se demander si son travail chez Marvel ne lui prend pas trop de temps pour se consacrer à ses propres séries…
