Sollicitations Novembre 2014 : Image Comics

Et voici les sollicitations Image pour le mois de novembre prochain, qui amènent comme toujours désormais son lot de nouvelles séries. Non, je ne ferais pas de commentaire sur la nouvelle série de Matt Fraction…mais je vois que la SF reste très en vogue chez les scénaristes en ce moment, si bien que je suis ravi de voir Busiek essayer de toucher un peu à la fantasy que je trouve délaissée ces derniers temps (oui je suis dans une phase fantasy…).

A noter au passage le 200e épisode de Savage Dragon, qui me rappelle que décidément j’ai pris du retard sur cette série…et le lancement de la mini série Prophet Earth War qui va conclure la série
