#1 Lo que viene de Mark Millar...
WANTED (TOP COW)
Writer Mark Millar (The Ultimates)/ Artist JG Jones (Black Widow)
Get ready for the next generation of superhero comics. This mature readers title finishes what started with The Authority and continues with The Ultimates as Mark Millar gives you super-people as you've never seen them before. The gloves are off for this six issue series that's been described by the Sunday Times as 'Watchmen for Super-Villains'. Six issues. Monthly.
CHOSEN (DARK HORSE)
Writer Mark Millar/ Artist Peter Gross (Books of Magic)
Imagine you were a twelve year old boy from smalltown, USA, who just found out you were the returned Jesus Christ. Chosen is a three issue series that kicks off with this premise and explores where he and his family go from here. It's Stand By Me meets the Book of Revelations as a kid finds out he's the real deal and has a terrifying destiny ahead of him. This Harry Potter for fundamentalist Christians. Three issue horror series. Monthly.
THE UNFUNNIES (AVATAR PRESS)
Writer Mark Millar/ Artist Anthony Williams
Leave your taste at the door. The Unfunnies is a shock to the senses unlike anything we've ever seen before in the comic-book medium. 'Horror needs to be horror', insists Millar. 'The Unfunnies is the most uncompromising thing I've ever written and I'm immensely proud of it, but slightly worried about people reading it. It's really THAT fucked-up.'Imagine Magnolia or Happiness drawn in the style of Scooby Doo and using a combination of Looney Tunes art with real world photographs designed by animator Anthony Williams. Four issue horror series. Monthly.
IMAGE COMICS
Four self-contained one-shots coming out through 2004 and part of the new wave of superhero thinking that begins with WANTED. Essentially, these are all adult, 21st century updates of the old 20th century concepts Marvel and DC have had such success with since the 1930s. The first book is called RUN! and is a completely, completely new way of looking at super-speed. The artist for this book is the brilliant Ashley Wood and the title ships in December. The next three titles (next release being POW!) are also self-contained and will be drawn by John Cassaday (Planetary, Captain America), Frank Quitely (The Authority, New X-Men) and a fourth superstar artist who can't be named at the moment because he's still under contract elsewhere. Four self-contained one-shots starting in December and running through 2004.
La verdad tienen buena pinta casi todas estas cosas que se anuncian, le tengo mucho interes a The Unfunnies, Wanted, RUN! y Chosen. Al menos la premisa de todas esta realmente muy buena, y tengo mucha curiosidad por ver que tal es Unfunnies, y que tiene de especial RUN! , que lo anuncian como una completamente nueva manera de ver la supervelocidad. Habra que ver si sale algo bueno de todo esto, a lo que mas fichas le pongo es a Unfunnies, pero este a este tipo puede salirle tremendo algo con una premisa bastante aburrida, y tambien puede darse alBerre, asi que solo el tiempo dira....
