November comic books / cómics de noviembre

I’ve always been a Busiek fan, and Tooth & Claw reminded me why. A great first issue and also the best comic I’ve read this month. Millar continues to surprise me with his Millarworld titles: Starlight and MPH. The Wicked + The Divine is as good as usual. And The Unwritten keeps getting better. This month I also had the chance to catch up with some back issues: I read the final chapter of The Wake, Moon Knight and a couple of Crossed Badlands issues. Pretty good stuff. So, in a way, I’ve already unwrapped my Christmas gifts.

Siempre he sido fan de Busiek, y “Tooth & Claw” me recordó por qué. Un gran primer número y también el mejor cómic del mes. Millar continúa sorprendiéndome con sus títulos de Millarworld: “Starlight” y “MPH”. “The Wicked + The Divine” es tan bueno como siempre. Y “The Unwritten” sigue mejorando. Este mes también tuve la oportunidad de leer algunos números atrasados. Leí el capítulo final de “The Wake”, “Moon Knight”, y un par de números de “Crossed Badlands”. Bastantes cosas buenas. Así que, en cierto modo, ya abrí mis regalos navideños.
