FROM THE DC VAULT : DEATH IN THE FAMILY - ROBIN LIVES ! #1-4 (J.M. DeMatteis / Rick Leonardi)

Et si les lecteurs avaient voté pour la survie de Jason Todd dans la saga Batman : A Death in the Family en 1988 ?

Le scénariste J.M. DeMatteis et le dessinateur Rick Leonardi imaginent ce qui serait arrivé dans la mini-série From the DC Vault: Death in the Family: Robin Lives!, dont la publication débutera en juillet 2024.

J.M DeMatteis said the comic will explore the psyche of the heroes and that he’s excited to tell the alternate story: « Continuing this classic, and controversial, story and following in the footsteps of Jim Starlin and Jim Aparo, two creators I greatly admire, has been both a challenge and a joy, » he stated in a press release. « This is a great opportunity to tell a story that’s big on action but also takes a very deep dive into the heads of our main characters as we ponder what would have happened if Jason Todd had survived The Joker’s brutal attack. And having a master like Rick Leonardi bringing it to life visually? I couldn’t ask for anything more. »

Belle équipe.

Jim

Avec Leonardi, je fonce tête baissée.

C’est sur que cela n’a rien à voir avec ses délicieux Nightwing avec Devin Grayson ou même les JSA de l’époque Johns.

Les Nightwing sont dingues.
