August comic books / cómics de agosto


MORNING GLORIES # 1 & 21
Although slightly delayed, it’s time to talk about August comics, or at least some of them. First of all we have “The Boys” getting closer to its final issue, and there is so much going on here that I simply can’t wait for the next issue. Morning Glories continues to deliver a strong story, and with issue 21 artist Rodin Esquejo pays homage to Morning Glories # 1. Great stuff. Think Tank is August’s best new series (and I’ll review it soon). I’ll update this post when I finish reading everything. And now, without further ado, August comics as per solicitations.

Aunque con una ligera demora, es momento de hablar de los cómics de agosto, o al menos algunos de ellos. Primero, tenemos a “The Boys” acercándose al número final, pasan tantas cosas aquí que simplemente no puedo esperar hasta el próximo número. Morning Glories continúa entregando una historia fuerte, y con el número 21 el artista Rodin Esquejo rinde homenaje a Morning Glories # 1. Espectacular. Think Tank es la mejor nueva serie de agosto (y será reseñada pronto). Actualizaré este post cuando termine de leer todo. Y ahora, sin más preámbulos, los cómics de agosto.
