Sollicitations Septembre 2013 : Image Comics

Et voici les sollicitations d’Image pour le mois de septembre, qui est un peu le mois des revenants avec des séries dont on n’attendait plus la suite :

– attention le Secret de Hickman revient pour un 4e épisode, oui je sais tachez de ne pas rire. Outre un pitch que je cherche encore à comprendre, la série aura connu des retards assez ahurissants, surtout si on compare le titre aux autres séries de l’auteur comme Manatthan Projects ou East of West qui sont très régulières …

– Whispers, d’un des frères Luna qui se traîne depuis deux ans pour sortir de nouveaux épisodes.

Comme d’habitude, pas mal de nouvelle séries, notamment un nouveau creator owned de Matt Fraction, qui manifestement à décider comme son confrère Joe Casey de s’intéresser à la chose…Pour ceux qui ont écouté le dernier weeklynews, ils sauront que nous nous interrogeons beaucoup sur les détails pratiques des pouvoirs des jeunes gens mis en scène…
