Sollicitations Mars 2014 : Image Comics

Et voici les sollicitations Image pour le mois de mars prochain ! Comme d’habitude :

– on prend connaissance des nouvelles séries, encore une fois nombreuses. On note ainsi le nouveau titre de Bryan Hitch où…ben il fait tout, histoire et dessin, donc attendons fin 2015 pour avoir le numéro 2…

– ou encore un nouveau titre signé Mark Millar cette fois associé à GORAN PARLOV. Espérons qu’ils auront moins de problèmes que l’autre série actuelle de Millar, Jupiter Legacy, qui arrive péniblement à son 5e épisode en mars…On y croira quand on le verra celui-à…

– au niveau des séries en cours…toujours pas d’épisode de Chew en mars…euhhh que se passe t-il ? Autre titre qui m’inquiète, mais là pour le contenu, Invincible qui annonce peut être un changement important dans le statut quo ! Sinon comme d’hab à ne pas rater East of West, Lazarus, Morning Glories et tellement d’autres !!!

– au niveau TPB, on soulignera la sortir du 8e TPB de Chew, du 7e de Morning Glories, le premier de Rat Queens, mon coup de coeur du moment !!! le 3e de Saga (dont la version française sortira …en avril !!!)
