Après les numéros 0 du mois de septembre, le mois d’octobre est celui des annuals apparemment ! si la plupart d’entre eux s’annoncent comme hautement dispensables, comme celui d’Action Comics, je sens que celui de Swamp Thing sera à ne pas manquer.
Conformément au news communiquées ces derniers jours, nous verrons arriver en octobre John Layman sur Detective Comics, à ne pas manquer donc. Toujours chez Batman le début de la nouvelle série Talon inspirée par le récent Court Of Owls qui a agité le titre Batman ces derniers mois. On pourrait se dire que l’on avait déjà assez de séries dans la franchise, mais comme c’est co-écrit par Scott Snyder il faudra sans doute aller jeter un coup d’oeil.
Snyder qui continue d’écrire batman et qui débute en octobre un nouvel arc intitulé « Death of the Family » qui voit le retour du Joker. Le titre fait bien sur écho à l’arc « Death in the family » qui relatait la mort de Jason Todd sous les coups du Joker.
