	Par encore cette année pour Sharp sur Green Lantern. Désolé pour lui.

En même temps, y a du très lourd en face.
Ian Bertram, Simon Gane, Steve Pugh et Rosemary Valero-O'Connell, ça tabasse pas mal.
Et même Colleen Doran et Bilquis Evely, c'est pas de la roupie de sansonnet.
Perso, quand je vois cette sélection, j'aurais pas mis Sharp.

Un bon premier arc. Un sleeper en puissance au scénario assez étonnant. J'ai aimé.

[Fletcher Arrowsmith]

Une sélection très intéressante qui fait la part belle aux "indés". Excitant.

Merci. Je vais tenter…

[scarletneedle]

En tout cas, ça confirme tout le bien que je pense de TKO avec Sentient qui fut une superbe lecture.

Sa nomination m'est incompréhensible.

En effet. Excellente lecture. J'ai néanmoins préféré Goodnight Paradise. Sara était pas mal également.

[scarletneedle]

J'ai aussi Sara. Epting est juste whaou!
(les 2 en édition coffret, les singles sont magnifiques)

[Fletcher Arrowsmith]

Epting est bon. Le scénario de Ennis peu surprenant par contre.

[bukowski]

	Un bon premier arc. Un sleeper en puissance au scénario assez étonnant. J'ai aimé.

Je viens de lire les 6 premiers numéros et en effet, c'est très bon. L'intrigue est prenante et tient bien la route, avec une belle palette de personnages. Ca fait longtemps que je n'avais plus trouvé le travail de Larroca aussi réussi.

Je viens de tester le premier tp et effectivement c'est très bon.
Rien de révolutionnaire dans les thèmes abordés, ça reste même des histoires à la Doom tout ce qu'il y a de plus classique, mais c'est sur la réalisation que ça se démarque.
Une narration très inspirée et un Larroca qui renaît sans couleurs fadasses.
