È in continuity, visto che:
A. Se ne parla da diverso tempo
B. Se leggete Action Comics troverete indizi sulla scrivania a non finire

We are called Cybermen. We were exactly like you once, but our cybernetic scientists realised that our race was getting weak. Our lifespan was getting shorter, so our scientists and doctors devised spare parts for our bodies until we could be almost completely replaced. Our brains are just like yours, except that certain weaknesses have been removed. Weaknesses like... emotions, pain. You will become like us. You will be upgraded.

Bello sapere che ci sarà anche Silencer.

Non vedo l'ora, promette assai :w00t:

You are right.

Nel team dei grandi detective avrei messo anche Tim Drake però :sisi:

Man of Steel

Letto Leviathan Rising Special #1
Prima storia di Bendis ok, la storia procede bene i guess, Clark ha fatto una figura di merda, ma...ci sta. :lolle:
Per quanto riguarda Leone, "Mr.Leviathan"...veramente poca roba, non ho niente da dire, anzi...dico solo che non mi è piaciuta come è stata scritta Talia. :nono:
Il confronto fra i primi due era molto...alla Bendis.

La storia di Fraction su Jimmy era simpatica, specialmente vista la sua spalla Dex Starr (heh) comunque niente di che...

Abbiamo visto pochissimo della Lois di Rucka, difficile da commentare, ma non vado matto per le matite tho.

Letto lo speciale Leviathan Rising.
Numero carino, continua a non piacermi Bendis, mentre le due storie di Lois Lane e Jimmy mi hanno convinto a ordinare entrambe le serie. La prima sembra esattamente  nelle corde di Rucka, la seconda promette di essere la tipica serie folle alla Fraction.
Superman cinese e Supergirl li ho ignorati.
Bene le matite.

Bruce Wayne

Potenzialmente è un evento con implicazioni grosse... Però per qualche motivo non riesco a "entrare" nella storia.

Clod

Sicuramente interessato: conoscendo pochissimo dell'organizzazione nata nelle serie di Morrison sul Pipistrello, non avrò modo di fare paragoni; perciò in questo caso sarà come se tutto mi fosse nuovo.

Event Leviathan #1

'Rama Rating: 7 out of 10

Team Daredevil reunites in the expository but intriguing debut of Event Leviathan. After being teased throughout the last arc of his Lois Lane-focused Action Comics, the prolific Brian Michael Bendis takes his first real crack at a DC event title, bringing the moody and cinematic pages of his long-time Marvel collaborator Alex Maleev with him. The result is an expectedly talky but still interesting opening, one that resells the stakes for those hopping on from Action and solidly sells the "superhero mystery" hook, kicking off Bendis' first "big" story for the Distinguished Competition off on a fun note.

For those out of the loop, the "super-intelligence" communities of the DCU are in shambles. After a sweeping night of attacks, Kobra, Task Force X, A.R.G.U.S., Spryal, and the Department of Extranormal Operations all lie in ruin, their leadership either dead or dying. The only clues point to new threat called Leviathan (not that Talia al Ghul-headed organization, the comic is quick to remind you) who has been quietly recruiting in support of their night of terror.

The baseline story is a very fun one and has sustained the recent Action for a bit now. But one of Event Leviathan's major strengths is it sweetens the plot further, using Bendis' engaging take on Batman and Lois Lane to do it. As the unlikely team-up start to investigate Leviathan's latest attack site, a souped-up new A.R.G.U.S. headquarters, they quickly realize that Leviathan isn't done "pulling the pillars of society down" and whatever they are planning is only meant to last the night. So Lois Lane and Batman, supported by Green Arrow and an incoming "team of detectives" only have one night to solve the mystery and save the world. As far as ticking clocks go, that's a damn fun one, and as you get there in the issue, it hits just as hard as the team wants it to.

Unfortunately, in order to get there, you have to get through a lot of dialogue. And I mean a lot of dialogue. Centering his story solely around Lois and Batman's questioning of a shell-shocked Steve Trevor, Bendis' gift for gab is in full display here. Occasionally it crackles, particularly when set against a massive Maleev splash page or when Lois delivers a particularly wicked turn of phrase. Bendis' Lois has been one of the great unexpected joys of his time at DC so far and I would be lying if I said I didn't love her being the co-lead of a major event. But that all said, I would have liked just a bit more dynamism for this opening issue.

Artist Alex Maleev however does what he can with the talky opening script. Instantly calling to mind the vibe and visual storytelling of he and Bendis's seminal Daredevil run, Maleev really makes a meal of the quieter moments and the chances he gets to deliver big visuals this time around. In particular, a fantastic "previously on" page made up of thick slatted panels of each "super-intelligence" group's leader being brought low, indicated by really cool logos of each in the margins.

Later on, Maleev delivers another epic vista, revealing the very A.R.G.U.S. base that was attacked bathed in hopeful, radiant sunlight. These flashback scenes are a welcome swath of color from the gray- and blue-scaled main action of Lois and Batman's questioning. But again, just a bit more pep in the scenes visually could have made a world of difference. The backgrounds are also a bit bare for my tastes. Though they really remind of the Daredevil days and his character models are still just as stylish as ever, seeing people talk on "bare stages" isn't fun no matter who is talking.

Armed with a monster hook and a sparkling take on Lois Lane, Event Leviathan #1 is a lot of fun - provided you don't mind seeing a lot of people talk in a single location for the duration, that is. That might sound harsh, but Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev's reunion tour really is a fine comic book, one that commits to it's super-crime fiction premise and aims to find a new take on event narratives. Can they sustain it over five more issues? Only DC's greatest detectives will be able to find out.
