Jim Steranko qui revient pour présenter 13 pages de la nouvelle version de Red Tide, didiou !!!!!!

[john_constantine]

Ah tiens le DCP 3 aura des bouts du Steranko Red Tide, le titre j'ai du le précommander il y a plus de deux ans, bon je suppose qu'il va être annulé.

[FredGri]

Deux ans seulement... Tu sais c'est apparu dans les Preview il y a une quinzaine d'année ce truc, a la longue on a tous fini par comprendre qu'en effet ca devait etre annulé ))))) Là, Steranko en reparle, donc bon... On avait eu un peu d'espoir a la sortie du Tales from the edge special Steranko paru en 98, mais Dark Horse l'avait annulé en fin de compte... Peut-être est-ce réapparu ensuite... Il faut croiser les doigts, peut-être que cette fois...
En attendant, la première version vaut déjà pas mal le coup aussi !

[john_constantine]

Oui oui ça avait été resollicité il y a genre deux ans, et ça devait sortir en juillet dernier si j'ai bonne mémoire. J'espère que cette fois sera la bonne aussi : )
