Dans le cadre de sa campagne de publicité pour la seconde vague de titres « All New » Marvel Now, l’éditeur Marvel Comics dévoile au compte-goute plusieurs « aperçus » des nouvelles séries qui sortiront à partir de janvier prochain. Il semble que la plupart de ces « teasers » fassent références à la première promo « Inhumanity » présentant les héros que l’éditeur mettra en avant pendant l’année 2014.
Le scénariste Al Ewing (Mighty Avengers) est associé avec le dessinateur Lee Garbett (X-O Manowar) à un nouveau projet marvel intitulé « Trust » (« confiance »).
Plus d’informations sur « Trust » seront dévoilées lors du New York Comic Con de ce mois.
Inspiré par le succès du personnage dans les films Thor, Avengers et Thor: The Dark World, le demi-frère du Dieu du Tonnerre sera le protagoniste d’une nouvelle série régulière « Loki: Agent of Asgard » avec le scénariste Al Ewing (Mighty Avengers) et le dessinateur** Lee Garbett **aux manettes.
Sur la première couverture réalisée par Frank Cho, le Dieu du mensonge a perdu son adolescence au profit dune version plus âgée, proche de celle présentée originellement dans « Journey into Mystery #85 ».
[quote=« Al Ewing »]We kill Thor. He’s dead on page one. Dead is dead, and he’s dead forever. Pushing up daisies. Joined the choir invisible. He’s deady dead dead. We’ve got a whole bag of dead with his name on it. D-E-A-D spells dead. Jason Aaron’s writing the decomposition. He’s worm food. Killed off. He’s a Thorpse. He’s dead dead dead dead dead dead dead dead DEAD.
[quote=« Lee Garbett »]I’d have loved to get the chance to design Loki’s costume, but Jamie [McKelvie] had already taken care of it as he appeared in his Young Avengers book first, and he did a great job with it. It’s young and dashing but very Loki. He did apologize to me about all the “scale mail,” though.
There will be other characters showing up in the book, new ones and others we haven’t seen in a while so I’m getting to design those. It’s always great fun to do that and to think they’ll remain in the Marvel U. forever.[/quote]
