	The steampunk pulp hero Rocketeer will return this April for a new series at IDW Publishing, as part of a broader celebration of the character's 40th anniversary. The Rocketeer: The Great Race is a four-issue series by writer/artist Stephen Mooney which will see our intrepid stunt pilot Cliff Secord take part in an air race that runs from California to France - that's right, from the US west coast to European west coast. This all happens as the drum beats for war are heightening in Europe, as the Rocketeer is a period piece set in just before the second World War. And yes, Betty (the character based on real-life pin-up model Bettie Page) will be appearing in this series. "Stephen Mooney has a love and affinity for the Rocketeer, and the time period the iconic character inhabits… all of which is abundantly evident in the story he has crafted," says series editor Scott Dunbier in the announcement. "It's a fun-filled romp, one I think Dave Stevens would enjoy!" Like Stevens, Mooney is both writing and drawing this Rocketeer story, and follows work on his own WW2-era series, Half Past Danger. "Writing and drawing a Rocketeer book has long been somewhat of a bucket-list item for me. I grew up on Dave Stevens' unique blend of swashbuckling derring-do and pulpy adventure with Cliff, Betty, and Peevy, and those seminal issues still stand today as one of my favorite series of all time," says Mooney. "It's incredibly daunting and yet also fantastically thrilling and a real challenge. Let's take to the skies!" Each issue of The Rocketeer: The Great Race will also include an oral history of the character, with contributions from Stevens' friends, family, and fellow artists - as organized by Kelvin Mao, who is working on a documentary of the writer/artist. Locke & Key's Gabriel Rodriguez has drawn the main cover for The Rocketeer: The Great Race #1, with a variant by Mooney. The Rocketeer: The Great Race #1 goes on sale in April, as part of a broader 'Rocketeer Month' planned by IDW to celebrate the character's 40th anniversary. As part of the celebration, IDW will be reprinting the long-sold-out Dave Stevens' The Rocketeer Artist's Edition.

Collin Kelly et Jackson Lanzing, on résume: dans les mois à venir ils seront sur le crossover Star Trek, Captain America/Cold War, Batman Beyond: Neo Gothic, Thor Annual, et Guardians of the Galaxy.
Et certains passent à côté de ce phénomène...

Xermanico m'a dit d'eux à Paris à propos de leur one-shot One Bad Day - Clayface, qu'ils étaient très intelligents et qu'ils savaient construire un récit, avec des consignes précises données au dessinateur. Il a bien raison, ce one-shot est clairement un des meilleurs de la série consacrée aux bat-vilains.

Ca donnerait presque envie de s'y mettre.

G. Willow Wilson et Chris Wildgoose débuteront en juillet The Hunger and the Dust, une ongoing où humains et orcs devront s'unir face à un ennemi commun.

	Citation:
	In a dying world, only humans and orcs remain, mortal enemies battling for territory and political advantage. But when a group of fearsome ancient humanoids known as the Vangol arrive from across the sea, the two struggling civilizations are forced into a fragile alliance to protect what they have built. As a gesture of his commitment to the cause, the most powerful orc overlord, Troth Icemane, sends his beloved cousin, Tara, a high-ranking young healer, to fight alongside brash human commander Callum Battlechild and his company of warriors. With a crisis looming, the success of this unlikely pair’s partnership and the survival of their peoples will depend on their ability to unlearn a lifetime of antagonistic instincts toward one another…and rise above the sting of heartbreak.

Amour et Kaiju en janvier chez IDW avec un one-shot Godzilla Valentine's Day Special.

GODZILLA VALENTINES DAY SPECIAL #1




(W) Zoe Tunnell (A) Dani Pendergast
Is there anything as romantic as seeing the world together? Hopping from country to country to take in the sights and splendor in the fleeting seconds before Godzilla smashes the skyline? Truly, there's nothing like the thrill of an international game of cat and mouse between an intrepid amateur kaiju researcher and a global kaiju-response lieutenant. But when you're up against Godzilla, it's hard to have a bigger "CRUSH."
In Shops: Jan 31, 2024
SRP: $4.99

Confirmation que Jason Aaron reprend Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles en juin (après l'arrêt de l'itération actuelle au #150).

	Citation:
	Jason Aaron is taking over the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Described as a relaunch, Aaron will begin with a 10-page prelude story in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Alpha #1 one-shot on sale in June. The official series will launch in July with an artist not yet named. This news comes just days after Paramount and IDW inked a renewal deal for more comics in the coming years.

Non mais après Transformers, voilà que je vais acheter du Tortues Ninjas. Incroyable.

[scarletneedle]

Je risque de tenter aussi.

Quelqu'un débauché chez les Big 2 ou une valeur sûre chez IDW style Gabriel Rodriguez?

Avec Jason Aaron et son carnet d'adresses, ça peut être sympa.

Une vraie Dream Team graphique pour accompagner Jason Aaron sur le relaunch de Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles : Rafael Albuquerque, Joëlle Jones, Cliff Chiang et Chris Burnham où chacun dessine un numéro dès juillet!

	Citation:
	Jason Aaron on TMNT After years spent as a Marvel-exclusive writer, Jason Aaron is branching out to other publishers. He's already launched new Batman and Superman comics at DC, and now Aaron is taking over as the writer of the monthly TMNT comic from departing Sophie Campbell. Aaron will make his debut via a 10-page story in June's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Alpha #1. From there, he'll be at the helm of the monthly series when it relaunches with a new #1 issue in July. "Launching a new TMNT comic series in the midst of the characters' 40th anniversary is clearly one of those dream jobs of all comic book dream jobs," Aaron said in a statement. "Especially for me, a kid who first fell in love with the Turtles all those years ago because of that original Mirage Studios series, buying those groundbreaking issues fresh off the rack, comics that kicked you in the face with their action-packed grit and gloriously raw attitude. I couldn't be more honored and thrilled to get to add to that esteemed legacy of comic book face-kicking, especially as part of an amazing IDW run that has expanded the world and timeline of the Turtles in such daring and exciting ways. In terms of what's to come, the kid in me wants you to know that you can expect some good old-fashioned grit, a sprinkle of dark, new attitude and all the bone-cracking action that four mutated ninja brothers can possibly handle." While Aaron's series is meant to serve as a fresh jumping-on point for readers, IDW is clear to point out that the series isn't a reboot, but a continuation of the current TMNT continuity. The first four issues of the new series will each spotlight a different Turtle, beginning with Raphael in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1. The artists each picked their favorite Turtle. If there's a common thread in this new creative lineup, it'sthat everyone involved is a huge fan of the franchise dating back to the '80s. "I almost couldn't believe it when these folks started saying yes," says IDW Editor-in-Chief Jamie S. Rich. "It's such a dream team of modern artists, folks responsible for some of my favorite comics of this century. All four of them were so enthusiastic to draw characters they love for the first time. It was cool to hear why they loved each of the individual turtles. Like Chris talked about the Donnie issue with the Jack Kirby homage, and Joëlle mentioned how she has always liked hotheads and fighters. It's comic book kismet!" IDW's Co-Publisher Mark Doyle adds, "These are some of the best artists and storytellers in modern comics bringing their style and action to characters they love. As a fan, I'm over the moon!" Raphael by Joëlle Jones "For me working on TMNT was first a nostalgia hit, being an '80s kid I consumed it all!" Jones tells IGN. "But at its heart, and why I think it still resonates with people today, is that it’s a story about a family of outcasts brimming with personality and the conflicts that come out of it! Or maybe I just like the giant rat father figure, which might be something for me to unpack with a therapist at a later date!" Michelangelo by Rafael Albuquerque "I'm thrilled to be working with Jason on such a special project, with so many talented artists," Albuquerque says. "Being a child from the ‘80s, the TMNT cartoon has a special place in my heart, so having the chance to draw them for the first time kind of completes a full circle, full of nostalgia and excitement. I can't wait to reveal what we're working on!" Leonardo by Cliff Chiang "I still remember the thrill of reading those early black-and-white issues and how they ushered in a new wave of independent comics, and I'm incredibly excited to be a part of this next chapter for the Turtles," Chiang tells IGN. "Even better, Jason and I have been friends for a long time but haven't yet worked together, so I get to kill two Mousers with one sword." Donatello by Chris Burnham “I am SO excited to be working on the Turtles!" Burnham says. "I’ve been a TMNT fan since the black and white days - Fugitoid is one of the first comics I ever owned, and the original Donatello One-Issue Micro Series is one of my favorite comics of all time! I discovered so many amazing artists as a kid reading the Turtles - beyond Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird there’s Mark Bodé, Rick Veitch, Mark Martin, Richard Corben, Michael Zulli, Eric Talbot, Jim Lawson, Sophie Campbell… the list goes on and on and it’s a great honor to add my name to it!” Look for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Alpha #1 to hit stores in June 2024, followed by the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 in July.

Bin, je vais acheter du TMNT...
