Sollicitations Octobre 2014 : DC Comics

Et voici les sollicitations DC pour le mois d’octobre prochain. Au programme :

– un nouveau Weekly, consacré à Earth 2, en temps normal je dirais que c’est une bonne chose car Tom Taylor a développé beauuuuuucoup d’intrigues dans le titre…sauf que j’ai l’impression que le scénariste prend ses distances avec la série, puisqu’il accueille une co-scénariste sur le titre principal+ il n’a pas l’air impliqué dans le Weekly…

– d’autres nouvelles séries. On notera les deux nouveaux titres du Bat-Verse, qui semblent très différents de l’ambiance  sombre habituelle…apparemment l’influence du nouvel éditeur des titres Batman qui se révèle ici. Il y a bien entendu la nouvelle série consacrée à Deathstroke, que nous allons tous nous faire un plaisir d’éviter puisque elle est écrite par Tony Daniel…Après ses bides consécutifs sur Hawkman et Detective Comics, on aurait pu penser que la leçon avait été comprise…

Je suis plus intéressé par la nouvelle série consacrée à Lobo…oui je sais c’est la nouvelle version du personnage qui a perdu bien de sa saveur…mais elle est écrite par Cullen Bunn qui entre Magneto, Sinestro et maintenant Lobo se spécialise dans les anti-héros !!! à tendance très méchant !!! Etant donné la qualité de ses autres séries, cela vaut vraiment la peine d’aller voir.

– de nouvelles équipes créatives, ce qui concerne Green Arrow (on va pleurer longtemps là dessus) mais aussi Batgirl. Gail Simone cette fois s’en va pour différents créatifs…avec la précédente équipe édito !!!! Apparemment elle voulait rendre la série plus légère, ce dont DC ne voulait pas entendre parler alors…donc elle est partie, et pile à ce moment la nouvelle équipe édito a été nommée bien plus ouverte à ce type de direction !!!!

A world they can only save from the forces of Apokolips through great personal sacrifice! Death and destruction will follow each week, and you’ll never know who will live and who will die!

With all of the world’s threats having been handled long ago by their parents, the next generation of supers – including Chris Kent, Damien Wayne, Alexis Luthor, Offspring, Megamorpho, Donna Troy and more – find themselves labeled as superstars more often than super heroes. But with that fame comes complacency, and when a massive threat unlike anything they’ve ever seen surfaces, this pampered crew finds themselves in way over their head. What secret is Damien keeping from Chris that could tear the world’s finest friends apart? Who is the mysterious killer lurking behind the scenes among these spoiled super-children? And what chance do they stand against the monstrous villain that’s murdering its way cross the Multiverse? All that and more in this exciting stand-alone issue which also acts as chapter three of the MULTIVERSITY saga. Join us, if your dare, for THE MULTIVERSITY!
