Du très beau monde (Arcudi ! ), mais un peu réchauffé.
DC pour moi temporise en sortant des choses liés à ses succès, en attendant de trouver quoi faire dans le main universe (le retour de Sweet tooth et American Vampire, les relances de projets dans les tiroirs depuis un bout, la multiplication de tie-ins à l’event actuel, là où Marvel en a enlevé, …)
Ce Batman BW me semble aller dans le même sens de Greatest Hits Actuels.
