À propos de cet audio

 Comic book fans have plenty to be excited about this week, with major new releases, bold crossovers, hotly anticipated convention appearances, and a few surprise sellouts sending collectors scrambling. Most notably, the worlds of Marvel and DC are colliding in a way readers have waited decades to see. This Wednesday, two comic icons finally share the stage as Deadpool and Batman headline a historic crossover, featuring artistic heavyweights Zeb Wells and Greg Capullo. Alongside this A-list team-up, a powerful backup story throws Captain America and Wonder Woman together in a dramatic World War II adventure, reimagining heroism on two fronts and stirring speculation about how their universes might permanently intertwine. For completists, look out for extra one-shots pairing favorites like Daredevil with Green Arrow and even a delightfully offbeat team-up between Jeff the Land Shark and Krypto the Superdog.

Meanwhile, Marvel isn’t letting up on the suspense. This week’s New Avengers #4 promises doppelganger danger as the Killuminati unleash evil twins of Namor and Reed Richards on the team, raising questions about trust, identity, and what happens when a hero’s worst traits are weaponized against their friends. The stakes are escalating in other corners of the Marvel Universe as well, where Doom attempts to bend the world to his will in One World Under Doom #8, facing down the united might of the Avengers, X-Men, and Fantastic Four, and pushing both heroes and villains to new extremes.

Fresh talent and inventive storytelling are igniting the indie scene, too. Image’s Exquisite Corpses #1, from James Tynion IV and Michael Walsh, has sold out yet again and been rushed back to print—evidence that weird, psychological horror is finding a wide audience. Cul-de-Sac #1, another horror-tinged title, also couldn’t stay on shelves, and fans eagerly await its rapid return.

Collectors continue to chase “what’s hot,” as chart-tracking sites like Covrprice.com monitor eBay sales and highlight surprise winners. Some books make the leap from buzzy speculation to breakout hit; this week’s list includes the usual superhero suspects, but surprises lurk too, with new characters and variant covers heating up discussion among fans.

For those craving convention energy, the past few days have delivered. Fandom Kissimmee and West Tennessee Comic Con drew big crowds with cosplay, artist panels, and first looks at exclusive covers—reminding everyone that comics are as much about community and shared imagination as they are about single issues and spec lists. Looking ahead, Big Lick Comic Con teases star guests and more pop culture exuberance in October, proving there’s always another celebration just around the corner.

On the shelves, familiar heroes are facing bold new stories. Ultimate Wolverine and Ultimate Spider-Man continue to tangle with sentinels and secrets, while a new Spider-Verse vs Venomverse finale delivers the ultimate Spider-Venom hybrid—sure to fuel speculation and fan art for weeks to come. For a touch of lighthearted fun, the announcement that Popeye the Sailor Man will guest star in I Hate Fairyland #45 has both old-school and newer readers curious to see how Gert’s anarchic fairy tale clashes with spinach-fueled heroics.

This whirlwind of new releases, crossovers, sellouts, and live events proves one thing: no matter your favorite character or genre, comic books remain as vibrant and unpredictable as ever.
