DC Comics: Sollicitations pour Novembre 2012

Le New Teen Titans Omnibus par Geoff Johns est enfin sollicité dans sa version définitive, c'est à dire un tome massif de 1440 pages et prix de couverture 150 dollars. Personnellement les omnibus de cette taille ne me dérangent pas, mais j'ai peur que si DC continue avec cette politique de prix, Marvel ne tarde pas à suivre.

L'"Absolute Top Ten" est sollicité officiellement aussi, et avec ce tome, pratiquement toutes les oeuvres d'Alan Moore chez DC (à l'exception de Swamp Thing) ont eu droit au format Deluxe ou Absolute. Aussi la Deluxe Edition de "Books of Magic" par Neil Gaiman apparaît ce mois ci.
