On continue de regarder aujourd’hui les sollicitations de l’éditeur DC Comics pour le mois de janvier arrivant, avec cette (petite, comme toujours) partie consacrée aux titres de l’Imprint Vertigo. Comme d’habitude, le nombre de sorties est très maigre, mais il y a quand même une ou deux choses à noter.
La première, c’est l’absence curieuse du titre Clean Room, qui n’a pas pourtant été officiellement annulé, mais qui s’octroie peut-être une pause d’un mois. En second lieu, après avoir co-écrit le précédent numéro, l’auteur Richard Kadrey devient le nouveau scénariste du titre Lucifer, en remplaçant donc Holly Black. On notera aussi de nouvelles éditions pour les titres The Invisibles et Kid Eternity – avec peut-être une chance de les voir arriver chez Urban Comics (surtout pour le premier) l’année prochaine. On vous laisse regarder tout ça ci-dessous !

KID ETERNITY BOOK ONE TPÉcrit par ANN NOCENTI Ever wonder who’s calling the shots? Ever wonder if those in control are reviewing all the résumés? If not, consider the case of Kid Eternity. Everyone knows someone like the Kid—the dude who seems just too cool to live. In his case, though, it’s true. Kid Eternity is dead, though he tries not to let that cramp his style. In a lot of ways, he’s a pretty typical teenager—more interested in the world in his head than in the job at hand, which is to help humanity raise its consciousness and climb the next rung of evolution’s ladder. This new trade paperback collects KID ETERNITY #1-9, plus a story from VERTIGO JAM #1. |

Collects issues #8-13. |

What started as the search for one man’s killer has turned into something much deeper, and everyone lost something in the violence that followed. Now Nassir is in the hands of the men who may have been responsible for all of it. What they want from him is unclear, but it’s a payment they intend to take in blood. Deals with the devil rarely go right, but in Baghdad, the wrong deal could get lots of people killed… |
