À propos de cet audio

Comic book fans had plenty to celebrate this week as new releases hit shelves and big industry news made headlines. The most talked-about debut was Infernal Hulk #1 from Marvel, which has already sold out at distribution before even reaching stores. Written by Phillip Kennedy Johnson, this issue marks the start of a bold new direction for the Hulk, and its instant popularity shows just how much anticipation there is for Johnson’s take on the character.

Speaking of Phillip Kennedy Johnson, the acclaimed writer recently signed an exclusive, multi-year contract with Marvel, making waves across the industry. Johnson, known for his work on both Marvel and DC titles, shared that he’s excited to dive deeper into Marvel’s universe, especially as his current runs on Batman & Robin and Adventures of Superman: The Book of El wrap up at DC. His move signals a major shift, and fans are eager to see what he brings to Marvel in the coming years.

On the release front, Marvel fans found plenty to love with new issues of Black Cat, Cloak or Dagger, and the debut of Daredevil/Punisher: The Devil’s Trigger. DC’s offerings included new chapters of Batman Detective Comics, Superman, and the conclusion of Trinity Daughter of Wonder Woman. Image Comics also released new issues, including the much-anticipated I Saw Santa: A Spawn Universe Christmas Story #1, which brings a festive twist to the Spawn universe.

The week also saw a surge in interest around classic characters. A rare copy of Superman No. 1 from 1939, discovered in an attic, sold for a record-breaking $9.12 million, highlighting the enduring legacy and collectible value of vintage comics. Meanwhile, Elastigirl, the beloved hero from Pixar’s The Incredibles, continues to inspire fans and creators alike. Rapper and singer Lisa recently released a song titled “Elastigirl” on her debut album, drawing inspiration from the character’s strength and style. Elastigirl’s popularity extends beyond the screen, with her likeness featured in toys, collectibles, and even a recent Happy Meal promotion.

Cosplay and fan art remain vibrant parts of comic culture, with Elastigirl being a popular choice at conventions and Disney Parks. The character’s impact was also felt in media, as Katy Perry cosplayed as Elastigirl during a Disney-themed episode of American Idol, delighting fans and showcasing the character’s broad appeal.

Overall, the past week has been a testament to the enduring power of comic books and their characters. From record-breaking sales and exclusive writer deals to new releases and pop culture crossovers, the world of comics continues to captivate and inspire fans of all ages.
