Sollicitations Décembre 2012 : DC Comics

 Au programme du mois de décembre chez DC, deux mots : crossover et event !

on commence avec le mini crossover entre la justice league et Aquaman, qui sera sans aucun doute le dernier arc de Johns sur Aquaman.
Du côté de chez Batman, l’event Death of the family se poursuit en étant présent dans la quasi totalité des titres Batman et affiliés ! il semblerait que DC veuille répéter le succès de night of the owl en début d’année, qui avait aussi traversé tous les titres de la même manière. Qu’ils fassent attention car j’ai l’impression qu’ils transforment tous les arcs de Batman de Snyder et Capullo en event. Le titre en question sera d’ailleurs à surveiller de près, notamment pour son back up dessiné par Jock, ce qui signifie que nous aurons une petite réunion de l’équipe créative de Black Mirror !

Chez Superman aussi de l’event, mais là qui va plutôt prêter à rire, avec H’el ! je sais pas pourquoi mais ça sent la daube quand même…. On continue au rayon event/crossover avec The Third army dans les titres GL, qui pour le moment ne m’attire guère, à voir sur pièces.

Si comme moi vous commencez un peu à saturer avec ces events, regardez du côté de WW et osez me dire que cette couverture et l’annonce du retour des New Gods ne donnent furieusement pas envie !!! Sinon aussi à signaler la fin de la mini série Punck Rock Jesus où Sean Murphy décide de finir l’histoire …à Jérusalem….je sais pas pourquoi mais je ne sens pas une fin très heureuse pour Jesus 2.0
