Et voici les sollicitations de DC Comics pour le mois de juillet prochain marquées par le début de Trinity War ! On attendait un crossover global, avec mini centrale et tout et tout, et heureusement DC a choisi une autre option. Le crossover sera limité aux trois séries Justice League et entièrement maîtrisé par Geoff Johns et Jeff Lemire ! DC reproduit donc ici le schéma utilisé pour le crossover Thrones of Atlantis qui à mon sens avait été une réussite.
Autre bonne nouvelle le crossover sera limité à 6 parties, en théorie cela fait beaucoup, mais comme il traverse 3 séries cela signifie qu’il sera fini en deux mois ! Pas de truc à rallonge qui n’en fini pas ! La seule mauvaise nouvelle est qu’apparemment ce crossover verra se dérouler l’affrontement entre les différentes ligues, et je ne sais pas pour vous mais des héros qui se bastonnent entre eux, perso j’en ai ras la casquette !
Dans les titres Superman, on note que pour le moment le successeur d’Andy Diggle n’est pas encore nommé, du coup c’est Scott Lobdell, déjà auteur de Superman, qui prend la relève pour le moment sur Action Comics. DC prend sont temps pour nommer le nouvel auteur du titre on dirait …
Enfin on dirait que pas mal de séries vont avoir des annuals ce mois-ci : Batman par Snyder, Detective Comics par Layman (qui après le 900 va nous pondre un nouvel épisode de grande taille !), Flash, Animal Man, Superman (toujours pas Lobdell…)
