Esta semana se han hecho públicas la última tanda de
solicitations de Marvel Comics, con la información de los títulos que publicarán durante el mes de diciembre de 2008, salvo cambios o retrasos de última hora. Añadimos también el especial
Iron Man/Hulk/Fury #1, que también tiene fecha de salida de diciembre, y aunque no aparece en las
solicitations publicadas en diferentes webs, sí lo hace en la
web de Marvel Comics (descubierto vía
Universo Marvel).
Para este diciembre hay pocas variaciones respecto a lo anunciado para noviembre, y todos los autores españoles continúan con los encargos ya iniciados, con cinco únicas novedades:
- Rafa Sandoval: Se encarga del Young X-Men #9 (el #8 estaba anunciado con dibujo de Yanick Paquette, el dibujante titular de la serie).
- Ramon Bachs: Vuelve a Spiderman en Spiderman Family #3.
- Salva Espín: Le encargan la cubierta del Marvel Adventures Fantastic Four del mes, y editan en papel una historieta de Nick Furia y Hulk que había realizado para ser publicada en Marvel.com (ver noticia en CBR).
- Daniel Acuña: Le encargan la cubierta del Dark Reign: New Nation, un especial realizado por diferentes autores y que está relacionado con el nuevo status quo del Universo Marvel tras Secret Invasion.
A continuación, los textos completos de las
solicitations en inglés (aviso: pueden contener
spoilers, el que avisa no es traidor), ilustrados con las portadas facilitadas por la editorial que están dibujadas por españoles. Haz clic en las imágenes para verlas ampliadas.
