L'attente est finie : Fire Power revient en juillet!

	Citation:
	oday Skybound announced that Fire Power by Kirkman & Samnee will return for an all-new story arc this summer. The high-octane comic series from the superstar team of creator/writer Robert Kirkman, creator/artist Chris Samnee, colorist Matthew Wilson and letterer Rus Wooton kicks off a fifth arc with issue #25 arriving July 26, 2023. Fire Power will return with a double-sized 44-page story picking up where the previous arc’s shocking finale left off, with readers reeling for the Johnson family. After learning Wei Lun killed his parents, Owen cannot let the past go. “No lie, Issue #25 might be my favorite of Fire Power yet,” said Amanda LaFranco, Editor, Skybound Entertainment. “The battle might be over, but the war is not yet won, and the tension between Owen and Wei Lun is palpable as the group recovers from the epic finale of our last arc. We’re building to something BIG in these next issues, and Robert and Chris are putting on a masterclass of character and stakes in this double-sized return, you won’t want to miss it!” Fire Power by Kirkman & Samnee #25 (Diamond Code MAY230222 | $4.99) will be available at comic book shops and digital platforms including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, comiXology, and Google Play on Wednesday, July 26, 2023.

Tony Daniel ne s'arrête plus chez Image : après Nocterra (qui se met en pause ou qui se va se conclure?) avec Scott Snyder, l'artiste lance un nouveau creator-owned baptisé Edenwood débutant en septembre.
Le titre voit la lutte des démons contre les sorciers aux Etats-Unis où chacun a un territoire dont Edenwood est le territoire des sorciers.

	Citation:
	Bestselling writer/artist Tony S. Daniel (Nocterra, Batman, Deathstroke) will launch an all-new fantasy series titled Edenwood. This ongoing war-ravaged epic will feature coloring by Natália Marques (Rogue Sun) and debut in September from Image Comics. Edenwood—An eons-long series of multiverse wars between demons and witches has found earth as its latest battleground. The battle pits Necronema, the demonic land which supplanted the Midwest twenty years ago, against Edenwood, the witchcraft controlled area of land that protects the rest of the U.S. In the first story arc of this ongoing series readers are introduced to Rion, a young man born during the apocalyptic events of southern Illinois, who is thrust into the role of hero and leader after killing a Gather, a transient demon with the powers to cross any barrier or dimension. "Edenwood is a series three years in the making, one that I was beginning to craft right before Scott Snyder and I crossed paths in NYC and fate took me in another direction, co-creating Nocterra with one of comics' finest writers,” said Daniel. “This series represents what I love most about comics: excitement, drama, big action, heroes we can relate to and fall in love with, and villains we’ll love to despise. This series is very high concept—yet its characters remain relatable and grounded in reality—all while we have an epic, large-scale battleground of demonic tanks, floating battleships and demon soldiers pitted against witchcraft-infused weaponry and armored soldiers. And away from all of the violent magic and mayhem between Edenwood and Necronema, we have the 'Open Lands' (the rest of the United States) where just as much evil is happening but in a quiet, deliberate way, to further the demon expansion. All of this is the backdrop for our hero, Rion, and his cast of fun and exciting demon hunters. So to say that I’m excited to be working on this new series would be one of the biggest understatements of my career!” Summoned by the Witch War Council, Rion must assemble an elite team of demon hunters tasked with infiltrating Necronema with a list of targets to annihilate. The men and women he selects happen to all be the most famous and revered demon hunters of all time, dating back to the 1700s. But Rion has his sights set on a young and powerful witch being held prisoner deep within Necronema. The mission is one of search and destroy… however Rion feels he’s been chosen for more than that. Edenwood #1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, September 27. Edenwood #1 will also be available across many digital platforms, including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play

Je ne retrouve plus le topic dédié aux fournisseurs donc je le mets ici : Image rejoint Lunar pour sa distribution à partir de septembre!

https://imagecomics.com/press-releas...t-distribution

	Citation:
	Image Comics is pleased to announce a worldwide exclusive distribution deal with Lunar Distribution, effective with September on-sale titles (which will open for order on the Lunar site for retailers on Wednesday, June 14), for Direct Market/comic shop distribution. Previously exclusive to Diamond Comic Distributors, Image Comics will join DC as one of Lunar’s largest periodical publishers and will work in partnership with Lunar to share further communications with the Direct Market, including “next steps” details, to ensure a seamless transition for comic shop retailers. “First and foremost we want to thank Steve Geppi, Chuck Parker, and everyone at Diamond for their ongoing service and all that they’ve done for Image over the years. For over three decades, they have been at our side, supporting our books from the moment we founded our company back in 1992,” said Todd McFarlane, President of Image Comics. “Every Image comic published, since our inception in ’92, has been distributed to thousands of retail outlets by Diamond, and they have played a very important role in our company’s evolution.” "We have enjoyed our relationship with Diamond over the decades and we have made some wonderful friends there, so this decision has been a difficult one,” added Erik Larsen, Chief Financial Officer at Image Comics, who served as Publisher at Image from 2004-2008. “It was not a move that we made lightly, though, and ultimately, the change was made because of the benefits to readers and retailers who are our real customers. There are services Lunar will provide that will make it easier for stores to buy our titles, and for fans to find our books. This is a big win for them, and we hope this new partnership is as strong and long-lasting as the previous one. We wish Diamond nothing but the best as we look toward the future.” “We leave with nothing but the deepest respect for Steve, Chuck and all of the folks at Diamond, both past and present,” said Jim Valentino, Image’s Vice President and former Publisher at Image from 1999-2004. “This is a big change, but we will still be working with Diamond in other capacities and look forward to maintaining those relationships with the Diamond team for years to come,” noted Eric Stephenson, the company’s current Publisher and Chief Creative Officer. “Lunar is an impressive new player in the Direct Market, and we are eager to work with them on the next phase of our development, as well as joining DC in leading the industry toward what we believe are positive changes for everyone.” Christina Merkler, Co-owner at Lunar Distribution stated: “We are thrilled to announce our exclusive worldwide distribution deal with Image Comics. We are constantly seeking innovative ways to expand our reach and bring exceptional content to our retail accounts around the world. This partnership will allow us to further expand our offerings and provide unparalleled access to the most exciting and sought-after titles in the industry. We look forward to working closely with Image and continuing to provide top-notch service to our Direct Market accounts." Lunar Distribution was first launched in 2020, when it became the home distributor to DC, and provides distribution services to the Direct Market with an emphasis on quality, efficiency, and customer satisfaction.

Une perte de plus pour Diamond...

C'est savoureux, je trouve...

	Citation:
	Image Comics Publisher Eric Stephenson has responded to DC's move to cut ties with Diamond Comic Distributors, calling it "a hasty, sociopathic decision made by people who do not care about the long-term welfare of our marketplace, let alone about comics."

Hypocrisie...

C'est la période des OMnibus et autres du même genre...

kurt Busiek viens d'annoncer pour décembre :


Opus Edition de Astro City qui reprends les 9 premières années de la série ...

[Dhargo]

Mais comment qu'ça va être sans moiiiiiiiiiii !

[EsseJi]

Les omnibus sont le format parfait pour les jeunes générations, celles qui veulent le tout, tout de suite, et en intégralité, pas le temps d'attendre. Pour faire du binge-reading.
Si on adhère pas, c'est en partie qu'on n'est pas dans le cœur de cible, et qu'on vit une autre époque où on savait attendre un mois entre chaque partie. Inconcevable pour le nouveau public.

[ollieno]

un mois..tu es gentil...

il y a certaines séries j'ai attendu des ANNéESSSSSSS pour lire la fin ^^
