Si vous avez entendu ce matin ou hier soir, dans le lointain, plusieurs cris du style « non mais c »est pas vrai !!!! ils se XXX de nous ou quoi !!! » et divers autres insultes et mots grossiers associés, c »est normal, c »était juste Steve, Bruno et moi découvrant les sollicitations DC de décembre prochain et quelques infos importantes sorties à peine avions nous fini l »enregistrement du weeklynews de cette semaine. …Comme d »hab, des infos importantes sont donc tombées juste après la fin de l »enregistrement, ce qui a tendance à être relativement frustrant…pour ne pas dire autre chose…
Alors quelles infos :
– la mauvaise nouvelle en premier : Geoff Johns quitte Aquaman au numéro 25…Triste nouvelle pour cette série que le scénariste a réussi à propulser en deux ans parmi les meilleures de l »éditeur et qui avait même survécu au départ d »Ivan Reis…C »est Jeff Parker qui récupère le bébé, donc au vu de son passif, on peut s »attendre à ce que le titre soit annulé dans le deux ans…oui je sais je suis méchant, mais soyons honnêtes le gros des lecteurs suivait le titre pour les scénarios de Geoff Johns et par le passé à chaque fois que le scénariste a quitté un titre qui tenait grâce à son nom, le titre n »a en général pas survécu longtemps : dans la liste des morts au combat : Teen Titans, JSA, Flash,…toutes ces séries se sont effondrées créativement et commercialement après le départ de Johns.
La question qui se pose est pour quel projet Johns quitte t-il Aquaman. Jusque là son ratio a toujours été de 3/4 séries écrites à la fois. Or une fois Forever evil achevé au début 2014, il ne travaillera plus que sur Justice League. JLA (puis JL Canada) passant plutôt sous pavillon Lemire et Dematteis récupérant JL Dark…Une nouvelle série Justice League ? et d »ailleurs quel avenir pour cette franchise qui compte maintenant 4 séries avec le lancement de Justice League 3000 ? le sauvetage de Superman clairement à la dérive ?
– la nouvelle qui va en décevoir certains mais qui m »a fait pousser un « youhouuuu » : Brian Buccelatto et Francis Manapul quittent Flash au numéro 25. Oui je suis content, car à part les premiers épisodes qui étaient assez intéressants, le reste de la série ne vaut pas tripette pour moi et cela faisait un moment que j »avais abandonné le titre…Pour le numéro 26 Christos Gage assure l’intérim, et DC ferait bien de le garder car Monsieur Gage lui sait écrire…
– le lancement donc de Justice League 3000, par Giffen, Dematteis et Porter…sans Kevin Maguire donc malheureusement prouvant encore une fois que certains responsables DC ont de la XXX dans les yeux et dans l »organe situé derrière leurs yeux…
– autre série qui devrait nous faire marrer (dans le bon sens, mon propos n »est pas ironique…) : Harley Quinn par Palmiotti et Conner (bien que je ne sais s »il faut dire Mme Palmiotti ou Mr Conner maintenant qu »ils sont passés la corde au cou…)
