DC UNIVERSE PRESENTS #12

Fonte: HQM.
Em agosto, a nova versão do Kid Flash correrá solo pela primeira vez nas páginas de DC Universe Presents #12, com roteiro de Fabian Nicieza, arte de Jorge Jimenes e capa por Ryan Sook. A trama envolverá as consequências do crossover Culling, que envolveu os Novos Titãs, Superboy e os integrantes da Legião dos Super-Heróis presos no presente.

Depois de uma visita à Ilha Misteriosa, os Titãs voltam para casa com alguns souvenirs, o que resulta na aventura do Kid Flash envolvendo dinossauros adolescentes. Embora a história ocupe apenas uma edição de DC Universe Presents, ela continuará em histórias backups em Teen Titans #11 e 12, com a mesma equipe criativa.

Criado em 1994 por Mark Waid e Mike Wieringo, o adolescente superveloz Bart Allen é o neto de Barry Allen, o Flash, vindo diretamente do futuro. Começou sua carreira como Impulso, integrando os Novos Titãs e sendo um dos fundadores da Justiça Jovem. Mais tarde adotou o codinome Kid Flash e chegou até a agir como Flash por pouco tempo.

Na nova cronologia da DC Comics, ele continua sendo Kid Flash e Bart Allen e integrando os Novos Titãs, mas suas origens ainda são obscuras, embora aparentemente continue tendo vindo do futuro. Entretanto, nesta nova linha cronológica, Barry Allen nunca sequer namorou com Íris West, que originalmente era a avó de Bart.

DC UNIVERSE PRESENTS #9

Fonte: Terra Zero.

Na semana passada a DC Comics colocou nas lojas (físicas e virtuais) a revista DC Universe Presents #9. O título, colocado dentro do DCnU como uma forma e reapresentar personagens marginais aos Novos 52, já flertou com o Desafiador e com os Desafiadores do Desconhecido em suas últimas edições. O escolhido para protagonizar as próximas histórias foi ninguém menos que o imortal vilão Vandal Savage.

Sob a batuta do escritor inglês James Robinson, Savage finalmente tem sua vida apresentada no presente, diferente do que acontece em Demon Knights, que mostra o vilão agindo séculos e séculos atrás. Mais que isso (e é exatamente por este motivo que Robinson foi escolhido para estas histórias), a nova fase também apresenta a filha do vilão, Kassidy Sage, e trabalha o que o escritor sabe fazer de melhor: legados.

Muitíssimo elogiada pela crítica (O CBR deu 4,5 de 5 para a revista), DC Universe Presents #9 conseguiu o impossível: pegar um vilão que muitos desconhecem e tratá-lo como um protagonista de respeito, além de preparar terreno para um futuro cheio de possibilidades ao abrir o leque do legado com uma filha no presente. A história, chamada simplesmente de Savage, fará o leitor escolher com qual dos membros da família ele se identificou mais nesta jornada de três partes.

DC Universe Presents será lançada pela Panini Comics no Brasil a partir de junho

Vingadores vs X-MEN não dá chance para ninguém. O evento do ano da Marvel Comics colocou a sua segunda edição no topo da lista de HQs mais pedidas à distribuidora Diamond Comics no mês de abril nos EUA. Segundo o site de análise ICV2, apesar de queda (normal) de 22% em relação à primeira edição, a número 2 ainda fez quase 160 mil pedidos.
Todas as séries dos universos mutante e vingador estão integradas à saga e, assim, também ganharam um impulso de vendas durante o mês. Mas AVX: Versus, minissérie só de pancadaria entre os heróis, é a primeira destas derivadas - na quarta posição, com mais de 100 mil unidades.
A DC Comics, contudo, tem seis posições no Top 10. A grande novidade é que Justice League perdeu a supremacia para Batman. Isso aconteceu por dois motivos: O Homem-Morcego começou a saga "Court of Owls" e Justice League entra na sua segunda edição sem Jim Lee. As duas pegaram o segundo e o terceiro lugar, respectivamente. E, para competir com Vingadores vs. X-Men, lembre-se que a DC está vindo com Before Watchmen.

Enquanto isso, nas graphic novels e coletâneas, o fenômeno Walking Dead continua forte: 15 das 25 primeiras posições no gráfico são da série de Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore e Charlie Adlard. Mas é interessante ver que Flex Mentallo, coletânea do primeiro trabalho de Grant Morrison e Frank Quitely, que levou 16 anos para sair lá fora, achou espaço para alcançar a quarta posição (mesmo com um volume relativamente caro: US$ 22,99).

Marvel e DC estão aproximando-se nos gráficas de vendas: a primeira ficou com 34,64% em arrecadação, contra 30,12% da DC. Em unidades vendidas, deu 39,07% contra 34,06%.

O mercado cresceu 16,3% em relação ao mesmo período no ano passado, o que é reflexo das cinco quarta-feiras de lançamento que o mês teve este ano. Mas o crescimento do primeiro trimestre também é positivo em relação a 2011, o que é bom prognóstico para o resto do ano.
