Pour Titans: Beast World #6 (écrit par Tom Taylor) qui est son dernier boulot chez DC Comics (direction Image Comics, Ghost Machine et Geoff Johns), Ivan Reis est épaulé par Eduardo Pansica et Lucas Meyer :

3 artistes pour conclure un event...
Si DC veut éviter un tel écueil pour le prochain, qu'ils mettent Dan Mora. :D

Rumeur de Rich Jonston : plutôt que d'avoir le retour de la Justice League, la formation d'un Justice Gang avec des membres plus inhabituels (avant le retour de la "vraie" équipe).

https://buzzpreview.buzzcomics.net/2024-01/DC/justice-gang.png



Sinon, ce qui m'attriste, c'est cela :

There were also plans for the Justice Society Of America to be reformed, as well as a new Legion Of Super Heroes series spinning out of Geoff Johns and Mikel Janin's JSA 12-issue series, but John's decision to go exclusive with Ghost Machine at Image Comics changed those plans at DC.

:'(:'(

[mugiwaraya]

C'est triste que l'existence de la JSA semble reposer uniquement sur Johns. Cette équipe multigénérationnelle, c'est pourtant ce qu'il y a de mieux chez DC.
Justice Gang: ils vont encore essayer de caser Wolverley Quinn à tous les coups.

[scarletneedle]

Bin, à un moment, Scott Snyder l'avait en tête vu qu'il a utilisé l'équipe lors de son run de Justice League.
Pas la chasse gardée de Geoff Johns mais il faut un super auteur.
Mark Waid me semble idéal pour cela.

WTF??

DC Comics Have Told Marvel That They Own Machine Man

https://bleedingcool.com/comics/dc-comics-have-told-marvel-that-they-own-machine-man/

DC Comics has now informed Marvel that they believe that they own Machine Man, and future publication may entail some elaboration manoeuvers in the copyright indicia on Marvel's part in order to comply with various copyright and trademark requirements. And also DC Comics might just reprint the 2001 adaptation by Jack Kirby if they feel so minded…

Jack Kirby wrote and pencilled both the adaptation of 2001: A Space Odyssey and the ten-issue series which followed in 1976, and the project was part of the agreement of Kirby's return to Marvel, after working for DC Comics in the Fourth World titles. Kirby incorporated additional dialogue to the adaptation from the Arthur C Clarke novel and an earlier draft of the screenplay.

In issue #8, Kirby introduces Mister Machine, the robot X-51. who gains sentience and thanks to an encounter with a Monolith, takes the name Aaron Stack and tries to hide amongst humanity. When 2001: A Space Odyssey would soon come to an end, but the character was given his own series shortly after, reportedly renamed Machine Man due to a naming conflict with an Ideal Toys robot named Mr. Machine. Subsequently and the character would then appear in the likes of Thor, Iron Man, Machine Man 2020, Nextwave: Agents of H.A.T.E, NextWAVE and the Iron Man 2020 event.

[EsseJi]

"Future publication" ça inclut les reprints comme les Epic? Je pense notamment à ses apparitions dans Avengers.

[mugiwaraya]

Alors plus aucune chance d'un retour de Nextwave avec le robot alcolo?
Merde! Ça aurait pas pu tomber sur Wolverine, plutôt?

[ollieno]

Si ca peut permettre (accord avec Clarke) une réédition (reliée) des 2001 .. je m'en contrebat du reste ...

[Fred le mallrat]

"Future publication" ça inclut les reprints comme les Epic? Je pense notamment à ses apparitions dans Avengers.

Je ne pense pas.
Ce qui appartiendrais à DC ce sont les histoires crees par Kirby dans 2001. Par contre ca rendrait toutes les apparitions de Machine man chez marvel non reeditables... puisque le reste des personnages appartient à Marvel (Peter Sloane par exemple.. Madame Menace..)
Tout ce qui n apparait pas dans 2001 reste propriété de marvel.
et même là j y crois peu.. sinon.. purquoi shang chi n appartiendrais pas aux yants droits de fu manchu? pourquoi tous les persos apparus dans rom ou micronauts pas à Hasbro?
En plus l origine de manchine man a changé légerement entre Mister Macine et machine man..
Bref.. c est comme Mickey ou si les heritiers de Kirby et Simon recuperait Captain merica.. ils recupererait ce qui apparait dans cap comics 1 donc pas le bouclier rond, pas la banniere à l arriere du costume , le casque sans la cote de maille, pas sharon, pas peggy, pas falcon... Bucky mais tel qu el en 1941!.. Machine man depuis nextwave c est déjà tres loin de celui de kirby

[captain Kimchi]

Dans le même ordre d'idée est ce que Marvel peut publier les DC vs predator et/ou alien ?
Tout dépendra des accords passés entre les big two, mais cela serait une révolution

[captain Kimchi]

Sinon quand j'entends cela, je me dis que Jason AARON a tout de même de bonnes idées pour DC :huhu:

The excitement begins on April 9 with Action Comics #1064, written by Joshua Williamson with art by Rafa Sandoval. This next part of DC’s Superman Superstars publishing initiative finds Brainiac’s Czarnian army invading Metropolis in this action-packed, oversize (40 pages) issue! The Super-Family and all the superheroes of Metropolis join the fight, but will they be enough to hold off Brainiac’s lethal and crazed soldiers?! Can Superman and Lex Luthor learn what Brainiac is searching for? He’s not bottling Metropolis, so what is he collecting instead? This blockbuster issue features a main cover by artist Sandoval, with variant covers by Batman artist Jorge Jiménez, Paolo Rivera, Michael Walsh, and Ariel Colón.

Also on sale April 9, the House of Brainiac saga continues with Green Lantern #10. DC art legend Kevin Maguire joins series writer Jeremy Adams for a three-part backup story, “Guy’s Bogus Lobo Adventure.” This creative combination means guaranteed hilarity and Maguire’s trademark facial expressions galore, as Green Lantern Guy Gardner is on the hunt to find and arrest Lobo, who’s rumored to be competing against some of the toughest wrestlers the universe has to offer! Green Lantern #10 features a main cover by Xermánico, with variant covers by Evan “Doc” Shaner, Jorge Fornés, and Michael Walsh.

Williamson and Sandoval continue the action on April 16 in Superman #13. Superman and Lobo travel across the universe on a hunt for the “Lobo Army” and Brainiac. But can the pair get along long enough to find them before Brainiac enacts the next stage of his dangerous plan? Sandoval also provides the main cover for this issue, which connects with the main cover of Action Comics #1064 to create a massive display of Metropolis’s superheroes from the Superman Family squaring off against Brainiac’s Czarnian forces. Lee Bermejo, Sebastian Fiumara, Alan Quah, and Jerry Gaylord provide variant covers, plus an artist spotlight variant cover by fan-favorite artist and DC president, publisher, and chief creative officer Jim Lee.

On April 23, writer Leah Williams and artists Eduardo Pansica and Júlio Ferreira continue the action in Power Girl #8. After an unexpected attack by Brainiac and his forces, everyone with superpowers in Metropolis has been kidnapped or imprisoned, leaving Power Girl the only superhero to protect a city full of helpless civilians. Will she be up for the challenge, and will the arrival of Crush, Lobo’s daughter, make things even tougher? Wonder Woman: Earth One artist Yanick Paquette provides the main cover, with variant covers from Mark Brooks, W. Scott Forbes, and Irvin Rodriguez.

The first month of “House of Brainiac” concludes on April 30 with Superman: House of Brainiac Special #1. Award-winning writer Mark Russell joins Joshua Williamson as co-writer, with breakout artist Edwin Galmon teaming up with Steve Pugh (Peacemaker Tries Hard!) on art. Featuring cover art by Superman artist Jamal Campbell, this essential part of the Action Comics/Superman crossover reveals Brainiac’s secret history with both Lobo and his homeworld, Czarnia, answering several important questions, including how Brainiac created a bottled city full of Czarnians, Lois Lane confronting Perry White about his own secrets during his campaign for mayor of Metropolis, how Amanda Waller is part of all this, and more! And amidst all the chaos of a Metropolis in need of new champions, Bibbo Bibbowski, Metropolis’s favorite bartender, organizes the locals to protect the city they call home!

Superman and Lobo’s battle against Brainiac has got them battling across the galaxy, so The Man of Steel needs help from his fellow Kryptonian super heroes as parts three and four of DC’s “House of Brainiac” continue this May!

On May 14, the House of El takes up the struggle against Brainiac himself in Action Comics #1065. With Supes and “The Main Man” taking on Brainiac’s Czarnian army, it’s up to Supergirl and Connor Kent to stop Brainiac himself! It’s an impossible battle, but will the intervention by some unexpected (and deadly) allies make things better, or worse? Find out in this issue, written by Joshua Williamson, with art by Rafa Sandoval. Action Comics #1065 also features a main cover by Sandoval, variant covers by Jorge Jiménez, Paolo Rivera, Ivan Talavera and Mark Spears, and a Brainiac family back-up story drawn by Mirko Colak (Spawn).

It takes a lot to anger Superman in even the direst of situations, so when Lobo betrays him, a partnership that’s shaky at best turns into a full-scale brawl that’s guaranteed to rattle entire planets! Even if they can stop punching each other long enough to save the day, it might be too late, because Brainiac has what he needs, and the Brainiac Queen is alive! On sale May 21, Joshua Williamson also writes Superman #14, with art and main cover by Rafa Sandoval. Variant covers are provided by Salvador Larroca, Dave Johnson, Carla Cohen and Chuma Hill.

On May 28, Power Girl comes out to play in Power Girl #9, a “House of Brainiac” tie-in issue. With the Czarnians seizing control of Power Girl’s Metropolis neighborhood, Crush offers herself up as a diplomat to reason with her unreasonable relatives. But these aliens are as corrupt as they are crude and decide they’ll just add Crush their growing number of hostages. Can Power Girl save the day solo, or will she fall prey to Goblin and intergalactic biker gang? Find out in this issue. Written by Leah Williams with art by Eduardo Pansica and Julio Ferreira, with a main cover by Yanick Paquette, plus variant covers by Tony S. Daniel and David Talaski.

New York Times best-selling writer Jay Kristoff (Empire of the Vampire, The Aurora Cycle, The Nevernight Chronicle) and artist Tirso Cons make their DC series debut, in Dark Knights of Steel: Allwinter.

In this new series, the snows fall thick, blood runs black, and color itself is only a distant memory. The legendary assassin Deathstroke stalks a frozen wasteland, killing for coin among a nation of ever-warring jarls. But when our murderer for hire finds himself cast in the role of reluctant guardian, will he fight to end the icy curse destroying his land, or be consumed by the sins of his own dark past?

Inspired by Norse myth and set in Tom Taylor’s ground-breaking world of Dark Knights of Steel, Dark Knights of Steel:Allwinter continues the tradition of casting iconic DC characters in a thrilling epic fantasy setting.

At New York Comic Con, DC announced the return of its ELSEWORLDS line of comics, revealing upcoming comic book titles Gotham by Gaslight: The Kryptonian Age, Batman the Barbarian, Green Lantern: Dark, with more to come. Scheduled to publish in 2024, DC’s new ELSEWORLDS lineup will also include sequels to best-selling series Dark Knights of Steel and DC vs. Vampires.

DC’s original ELSEWORLDS line was established in 1991, with the release of Batman: Holy Terror, by Alan Brennert and Norm Breyfogle. For the next two decades, ELSEWORLDS became the host for new and innovative stories featuring DC Super Heroes in settings outside regular DC comic book continuity. This new direction produced enduring and iconic stories, such as Kingdom Comeby Mark Waid and Alex Ross, Batman & Dracula: Red Rain, by Doug Moench and Kelley Jones, Superman: Red Sonby Mark Millar, Dave Johnson and Killian Plunkett, Justice League: The Nail, by Alan Davis, and more.

“Out-of-continuity stories have always been a pillar of DC publishing, granting creators the ability to explore all the wild corners of the DC Universe,” said DC Executive Editor Ben Abernathy. “We’re excited to bring a whole new slate of titles under the ELSEWORLDS banner in 2024, combining some all-new titles from top storytellers, as well as sequels from the current DC line that fit that same out-of-continuity aesthetic.”

DC’s new ELSEWORLDS lineup will include:

DC semble lancer une collection comparable aux Epic (softcover, assez gros) avec un prix de départ à 34,99$. Cela commence en novembre. Il semble par contre que ce ne soit pas complet (le volume sur Flash me semble trop petit pour 6 années entières mais je peux me tromper.

DC also announced DC Finest, a new line of comprehensive collections of the most in-demand periods, genres, and characters from across DC history. Scheduled to launch in November, these affordably priced, large-size paperback collections start at $34.99, and will take full advantage of DC’s extensive backlist and appeal to casual and completist fans alike. Focusing on characters and storytelling genres instead of creators or prior series will give casual fans the chance to discover full continuities for their favorite characters, while offering completist readers an affordable option to build out their ultimate collection of stories based on their favorite DC Super Hero or genre.

DC Finest Spine mockup
Character-focused collections will spotlight multiple iterations of fan-favorite DC Super Heroes throughout the decades; for example, a “Robin” collection may include volumes featuring Dick Grayson, Tim Drake, Damian Wayne, or Jason Todd, depending on chronology, while a “Green Lantern” collection may include classic stories featuring Hal Jordan, John Stewart, Kyle Rayner, Alan Scott, or other fan-favorite ring slingers. Genre fans can curate collections of their favorite tales from specific genres, which may include of science fiction, romance, war, westerns, horror, and other genres; many of these volumes will feature material reprinted for the first time, by some of comics’ greatest storytellers.

The first wave of DC Finest collections include:

DC Finest – The Flash: The Human Thunderbolt: Collects classic adventures of Barry Allen, the Silver Age Flash, by John Broome and Carmine Infantino, including 1956’s iconic Showcase #4.

Enfin, ça faisait un bout de temps que DC ne proposait plus de oldies en collection.

[ollieno]

Concernant Flash, le Silve Age Vol 1 (Souple), 423 pages va de 1956 à 1960... Showcase 4 à Flash 116.
Le dos que tu présentes montre Flash of 2 Worlds (123) ce qui nous ferait un volume de 600 pages...

Les Silver Age en 17*26 se font de plus en plus rares... (ce sont les OMni coupés en 2 plus petits en format).

J'attends de voir, si comme les Epics ils vont taper dans les périodes pas souvent réimprimées, ...

Car pour le Flash... Archives, Chronicles, Silver Age ...et maintenant Finest... ca fait beaucoup pour toujours les mêmes histoires (et rarement les épisodes mi 70's).

Le Batsou est interessant (pas pour Year 1 et 2, mais pour le reste), et Superman j'ai les chronicles...


(Wonder WOman excellente période mais j'ai les Issues)


Après le choix de Papier chez DC (Chronicles, et les Silver Age souple) est bien meilleur pour les vieux briscards que nous sommes, que le papier utilisé par la maison des idées.

La grosse information d'hier aussi est que DC dès juillet va ressortir les comics le mercredi!!

[scarletneedle]

Source Bleeding Cool (https://bleedingcool.com/comics/dc-comics-announces-25-absolute-power-comics-all-written-by-mark-waid/)

Absolute Power, l'event estival est entièrement piloté par Mark Waid qui en écrirait l'intégralité, tie-ins inclus, soit un total de 25 numéros!
En plus des numéros annoncés hier, il va y avoir 3 mini-séries de 3 épisodes dédiées chacune à Wonder Woman, Batman et Superman.
De plus, il y aura Absolute Power: Task Force Seven, une mini-série en 7 épisodes (hebdomadaire?) et Absolute Power: Origins, une mini-série en 3 épisodes.

La collection DC Finest s'annonce alléchante: un équivalent DC aux excellents Marvel Epics, une maquette soignée et une première vague qui couvre différentes périodes (Golden Age, Silver Age, Post Crisis, 90s et 2000s).

[softverre]

Oui, et perso les périodes/persos en question m’intéressent bien ! Plus que les Chronicles de chez Urban par exemple. Ils doivent se mordre les doigts de pas avoir attendu d’avoir cette collection «*clé en main »

Argh, l'arc de Nightwing est le dernier pour Bruno Redondo (et pour Tom Taylor?)... :ouin:

We are back for our last run. Nightwing: Fallen Grayson (before you ask, yes, I’m doing interiors on this arc :)

Et c'est bien le cas, Tom Taylor s'en va aussi après cet arc... :'(:'(

It began with the leap. It ends with the fall.
Bruno Redondo, Adriano Lucas, Wes Abbott and my Eisner award-winning run on Nightwing ends with the 5 part 'Fallen Grayson' in May.
Final order cutoff is the 24th of April.
Don't miss this.

Je me demande si le départ de Jessica Chen a eu un quelconque impact.

[scarletneedle]

My next DC project is aesthetically closer to the way Swampy read / felt. Delving more into the metaphysical and cosmic side of DC.

Faites vos jeux.

[ollieno]

Doctor Fate ?

Deadman ?

[Dhargo]

The Spectre of course. :D

[captain Kimchi]

Phantom stranger ?

Sinon j'aimerais bien hawkman.

Je viens de voir l'info reprise par Mike Gold et Comix Mix (qui reprennent l'article de Them)

DC comics vient d'annoncer un special DC Pride dédié à Rachel Pollack (décédée il y a 1 an)..

Dans ce gros volume on retrouvera le Doom Patrol 70, avec la première apparition de Coagula.Et surtout, pour tout ceux qui ne l'ont pas, une réédition du Vertigo Vision: The Geek, illustré par Mike Allred (et pas réédité depuis 1993).

- Coagula avait été tuée, avec d'autres membres un peu trop bizarres de la DP, dans un Flashback du run de Arcudi et Huat, elle est réapparue dans le DC pride de l'année dernière. (https://www.cbr.com/doom-patrol-kate-godwin-coagula-triumphant-return/ - dans le segment par Devin Grayson et Nick Robles)

De plus Chris Weston, à lancé un KickStarter, pour une réédition du Time Breakers que les 2 auteurs avaient publiés chez DC en 1997.

[chouetteunhibou]

c'est très bien les Time Breakers
