La DC ha cacciato Jeremy Adams da The Flash (ora in mano a Spurrier) e gli ha dato una testata GL con Hal Jordan.
Ora forse la DC ha cacciato PKJ da AC (forse in mano a Waid) e gli ha dato in mano una testata GL con John Stewart.

Ain't life a bitch, huh?

Anyway, primo numero davvero molto bello, siamo appena partiti e PKJ mi ha già spezzato il cuore con quella sequenza con la sua "sorellina" e sua madre...

Molto interessante anche la strada che ha preso con i Lanterns Multiversali, John questa volta è fortissimo.

[Hugostrange70]

Ma dici che é stata dc che ha "scaricato" PKJ? Mi sembra strano sta facendo un bellissimo lavoro su Action comics

[Man of Steel]

Diciamo che sia PKJ che Jeremy Adams sono ancora nuovi nel settore e devono ancora farsi valere, poi davanti ad un Mark Waid crollano in tanti, la decisione alla fine la prende sempre la DC a meno che il writer non abbia finito di dire la sua sul pg e questo non è il caso...nelle prossime solicits o diamine, per NYCC avremo la conferma.

[Hugostrange70]

Comunque nel caso mi sento di poter dire che con Mark Waid si cade in piedi

[Man of Steel]

Assolutamente, specialmente quando si parla di Superman!

[Clod]

Però Waid scrive già World's Finest, Shazam e Teen Titans: quest'ultima è una mini o una regular? Perché quasi sicuramente dovrà distaccarsi da una di queste.

[Man of Steel]

È una mini!

[Hugostrange70]

Meglio così

lel, ci ho visto un po' di Michael B. Jordan in Stewart.

Bel numero, ora che è ufficiale che PKJ lascerà AC questa è l'unica testata DC che scriverà, tant'è che da quanto dice, non smetterà di scrivere Superman e portare avanti le trame di AC in altri modi, tipo attraverso questa serie, cosa che ha dimostrato alla grande già da questo numero!
Forse userà questa testata per un qualche crossover con Supes nel 2024...

Altro bellissimo numero, c'è poco da fare, PKJ come writer spacca e sa entrare nella testa di questi pg.

Stewart is back as GL!
PKJ davvero perfetto per questa testata, in particolar modo visto il suo background e quello di John!
