Un récapitulatif d'informations sur les équipes artistiques de Wednedsay Comics :


1) Neil Gaiman and Mike Allred sur Metamorpho

2) Kyle Baker sur Hawkman

3) Adam and Joe Kubert sur Sgt. Rock

4) Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso sur Batman

5) Lee Bermejo sur Superman

7) Ben Caldwell sur Wonder Woman


Paul Pope sur une histoire style 50's

9) Sean "Cheeks" Galloway sur Teen Titans?


10) Ryan Sook sur Kamandi?

11) Karl Kerschl sur Flash?

12) Dave Bullock sur Deadman?

13) Metal Men

14) Catwoman

15) Supergirl

16) The Demon

12 numéros mais 16 histoires ?

Ca va donner des histoires tronquées ou des mini histoires de 8 pages

déjà ça serait dans un format tabloïd donc beaucoup plus grand comic normal et les histoires seront soit en stand alone soit à suivre sur tous les numéros mais chaque personnage apparaitra dans les 12 numéros.

ouais pas convaincu par le format, la periodicite, les histoires et les artistes, je pense que je ferai l'impasse

Oui ça ne me tente pas plus, mais faut bien en parler pour de possible interressé.

ça ne me fait vraiment pas envie en tout cas, pour ma part.

tout a fait, ca peut me faire changer d'avis

je partage le même avis

je partage le même avis

lequel??

Je trouve le principe très intéressant, le format innovant et tentant et les équipes artistiques attirantes. On peut quand même donner à DC la palme de l'innovation en matière de comics : après le comics hebdomadaire annuel aux délais tenus (!), voilà qu'ils tentent le comics hebdomadaire sur un autre format mais avec des équipes de qualité. C'est bien.

DC n'a toujours pas statué sur le prix mais vu les récentes augmentations il y a fort à parier qu'on le trouve à 4$

DC ne gagnera pas d'argent là-dessus, ils doivent le savoir. Toute la question pour eux maintenant est de décider s'ils vont perdre encore plus d'argent sur ce titre en le faisant à moins de 4$, mais ainsi gagné l'appréciation des lecteurs et peut-être une plus grande audience, ou s'ils jouent la sécurité financière.
A leur place, je tenterais la première solution pour bien se montrer comme l'éditeur avant-gardiste et de qualité face à Marvel qui balance titre sur titre à 4$.

WEDNESDAY COMICS #1-4

DC Comics gives a fresh twist to a grand comics tradition with Wednesday Comics, a new, weekly 12-issue series by some of the greatest names in comics today!

Wednesday Comics is unique in modern comics history: Reinventing the classic weekly newspaper comics section, it is a 16-page weekly that unfolds to a sprawling 28" x 20" tabloid-sized reading experience bursting with mind-blowing color, action and excitement, with each feature on its own 14" x 20" page.

Spearheaded by DCU Editorial Art Director Mark Chiarello, whose past editing credits include Batman
Black & White, Dc: The New Frontier and Solo, each page of Wednesday Comics spotlights the continuing adventures of DC heroes, including:

* Batman, Wednesday Comics' weekly cover feature, by the 100 Bullets team of writer Brian Azzarello and artist Eduardo Risso
* Adam Strange, by writer/artist Paul Pope.
* Metamorpho, written by writer Neil Gaiman with art by Michael Allred.
* The Demon and Catwoman, written by Walter Simonson with art by Brian Stelfreeze.
* Deadman, written by Dave Bullock and Vinton Heuck, art by Bullock.
* Kamandi, written by Dave Gibbons with art by Ryan Sook.
* Superman, written by John Arcudi with art by Lee Bermejo.
* Wonder Woman, written and illustrated by Ben Caldwell.
* Green Lantern, written by Kurt Busiek with art by Joe Quinones.
* Teen Titans, written by Eddie Berganza with art by Sean Galloway.
* Supergirl, written by Jimmy Palmiotti with art by Amanda Conner.
* Hawkman, written and illustrated by Kyle Baker.
* Sgt. Rock, written by Adam Kubert, ilustrated by legendary comics artist Joe Kubert.
* The Flash, written by Karl Kerschl and Brenden Fletcher, illustrated by Kerschl.
* Metal Men, written by Dan DiDio with art by Ian Churchill.

Wednesday Comics will arrive in stores folded twice to 7" x 10".

16 pages, $3.99, in stores on July 8, July 15, July 22 and July 29.

le concept est intéressant mais il y a très peu de choses qui m'interpellent.

moi c'est le prix et le nombre de page qui m'interpellent

16 pages pour quasiment 4$ !
mais après le format de 14" sur 20", ça correspond à quoi en cm ?

Un pouce équivaut à 2,54 cm donc 14 pouces nous donne 36,56 cm sur 20 pouces soit 50,8 cm

ça va faire quelque chose de très imposant.
limite on l'accroche au mur pour le lire.

je pense que ça va être de la même taille que les focus d'alex Ross sur la trinité DC
