L’éditeur américain DC Comics a dévoilé dans la nuit les sollicitations de ses sorties pour le tout début d’année 2017, et nous regardons dans cette première partie l’ensemble des titres regroupés dans le relaunch Rebirth. Ce mois sera largement marqué par le crossover Justice League vs Suicide Squad, pour lequel les deux titres auront droit à des équipes créatives particulières en étant tie-in de cet event, alors que quatre one-shots serviront également d’amorce pour le lancement de la nouvelle série Justice League of America au mois prochain.
Mais il y a encore beaucoup de choses à dénoter ce mois-ci ! En premier lieu, un nouvel arc commencera pour All-Star Batman avec l’artiste Jock aux dessins, ce qui promet d’être très alléchant. On pourra également noter de nombreux changements d’artistes (sûrement temporaires ?) sur beaucoup de titres comme Batgirl (qui accueille son nouvel artiste Christian Wildgoose), Batman (qui s’offre les services de Stephanie Hans et Mitch Gerads) ou Green Arrow, pour lequel Peter NGuyen semble être un nouveau remplaçant pour l’équipe habituelle. On remarque aussi la présence en invité de Lee Weeks sur le titre Titans ainsi que le remplacement de Jonboy Meyers par Khoi Pham, alors que Nicola Scott devrait faire son dernier numéro pour Wonder Woman avec la conclusion du Year One. Enfin, curieusement, il n’y a qu’un seul numéro de Cyborg de publié ce mois-ci, ce qui pourrait être une indication que le titre passerait à un rythme mensuel (et ce serait le premier dans ce cas pour le moment).
On vous laisse découvrir tout ça et bien plus encore, en prenant garde de bien faire attention aux spoilers, bien entendu !

Titans qui commence enfin ce que l’on attend depuis Rebirth ! Sinon, globalement on est dans la droite ligne de ce qu’on a jusqu’à présent. Donc ça a l’air plutôt réjouissant tout ça.
L’annonce de Fabok sur JL vs SS était une belle arnaque…
Même réaction…
Enfinun mini retour de multiversity !!!!!
Cyborg passant en mensuel, est-ce une mauvaise nouvelle pour l’avenir du titre ?
Signé : un fan inquiet
Les chiffres communiqués par Diamond sont pas formidables. Tu as le Cyborg Rebirth #1 qui se place à la 31ème place à hauteur de 64,000 unités distribuées et le Cyborg #1 atteint la 37ème place pour 56,000 unités (comics qui sont d’autant plus retournables à l’éditeur).
Ce sont les plus mauvais résultats séries bimensuelles / mensuelles confondues.

Ça annonce encore du très bon, comme par exemple pour Titans. Il y a aussi pas mal de magnifiques couvertures, comme celle de Batman #14, Trinity #5 ou encore Wonder Woman #14 !
