May Comics / cómics de mayo

In May I celebrated Free Comic Book Day in the Turning Page, the comic book shop I used to go to when I was living in Milwaukee. Out of the 5 FCBD titles I got, my favorite was Deadly Class, in fact, I think it was even better than the first issue of the regular series. My Favorite Thing is Monsters by Emil Ferris was also extraordinary. Cinema Purgatorio’s final issue was amazing, it’s a shame this anthology has been canceled. I really enjoyed 2000AD Villains Takeover Special, and even more so because of the homage to legendary artist Carlos Ezquerra, who passed away last year. My favorite comic of the month is Spider-Man: Life Story. And now without further ado, here are May comics as per solicitations. 

2000 AD VILLAINS 
(W) Rob Williams & Various (A) Henrik Sahlstrom & Various. In time for Free Comic Book Day the bad guys take over the Galaxy's Greatest Comic with a nefarious new special full of criminal capers and villainous ventures: the 2000 AD Villains Takeover! At the low, low price point of 99 cents, this is the ideal shelf-stuffer to tempt roguish readers into the world of 2000 AD! In this improper issue we have the very best forbidden felons and outlandish outlaws - the lawman of the future faces a familiar rictus grin in Judge Death: The Judge Who Laughs by Rob Williams and Henrik Sahlstrom; there's fiendish fantasy with Lord Weird Slough Feg: Lord Of The Hunt by Pat Mills and Kyle Hotz; there's chem-wreathed criminality in the world of Rogue Trooper in Brass and Bland: The Professionals by Karl Stock and Kael Ngu; there's the malefactory mutant-bountyhunters-turned-bad-guys, The Stix, from Strontium Dog in Stix: Sleeping Dogs Lie by Matt Smith and Chris Weston; and all rounded off by Terror Tale: Last of the Hellphibians by that master of the mendacious Henry Flint!

24 PANELS
(W) Alan Moore & Various (A) Melinda Gebbie & Various (CA) Tula Lotay. In June 2017, the Grenfell fire killed 72 people in a 24-story tower block in West London. 24 PANELS is an anthology comic to support the PTSD needs of the survivors. Curated by KIERON GILLEN (THE WICKED + THE DIVINE), it features 24 stories, each no longer than 24 panels. Half drawn from professional creators who volunteered their time and half drawn from open submissions, 24 PANELS is about community, hope, and (most of all) raising as much money as possible.

AMERICAN GODS #2 
(W) Neil Gaiman, P. Craig Russell (A) P. Craig Russell & Various (CA) Glenn Fabry. The battling gods have a momentary ceasefire as they mourn a death in their ranks. However, the 'vigil' that Shadow wants to be a part of may end up being more than he can handle.

ASCENDER #1
(W) Jeff Lemire (A/CA) Dustin Nguyen. 'THE HAUNTED GALAXY,' Part One Powerhouse creative team JEFF LEMIRE and DUSTIN NGUYEN launch an all-new sequel series to DESCENDER with the launch of ASCENDER! Set ten years after the conclusion of DESCENDER's storyline, magic has taken the place of machinery and the rules are very different indeed… Mila, the daughter of Andy and Effie from DESCENDER, spends her days exploring the lonely wilds of the planet Sampson and trying to stay out of the clutches of the evil disciples of the all-powerful vampire witch known only as Mother. But, like her parents, Mila doesn't like to play by the rules, and when a certain robot pal of her dad's shows up, nothing will ever be the same! With all the scope and heart of the sci-fi classic DESCENDER, LEMIRE and NGUYEN reunite to take readers on an unforgettable fantasy quest!

CINEMA PURGATORIO #18
(W) Alan Moore & Various (A) Kevin O'Neil & Various (CA) Raulo Caceres. The end is upon us in the gut-wrenching final issue of this epic anthology! The final showing: 'Cinema Purgatorio' by Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill; 'A More Perfect Union' by Max Brooks & Gabriel Andrade; 'Code Pru' by Garth Ennis & Raulo Caceres; 'Modded' by Kieron Gillen & Nahuel Lopez; and 'The Vast' by Christos Gage & Gabriel Andrade. Each story has its own cover by the series artist and there is also an Ancient Tome Premium by Caceres.

CONAN THE BARBARIAN #6

En mayo celebré el Free Comic Book Day en Turning Page, la tienda de cómics a la que iba cuando vivía en Milwaukee. De los 5 ejemplares del FCBD que obtuve, mi favorito fue Deadly Class, de hecho, creo que fue incluso mejor que el primer número de la colección mensual. My Favorite Thing is Monsters de Emil Ferris también estuvo extraordinario. El final de Cinema Purgatorio fue asombroso, es una lástima que esta antología haya sido cancelada. Realmente disfruté el 2000AD Villains Takeover Special sobre todo por el homenaje al legendario artista Carlos Ezquerra, que falleció el año pasado. Mi cómic favorito del mes es Spider-Man: Life Story. Y ahora sin mayores preámbulos, aquí van los cómics de mayo.

2000 AD VILLAINS
En este asunto impropio tenemos a los mejores criminales prohibidos y forajidos extravagantes: El juez que se ríe por Rob Williams y Henrik Sahlstrom; hay fantasía diabólica con Lord Weird Slough Feg: Lord Of The Hunt de Pat Mills y Kyle Hotz; en el mundo de Rogue Trooper en Brass and Bland: The Professionals, de Karl Stock y Kael Ngu; están los malvados mutantes cazarrecompensas, The Stix, de Strontium Dog en Stix: Sleeping Dogs Lie, de Matt Smith y Chris Weston; y todo rematado por Terror Tale: Last of the Hellphibians de ese maestro de lo mordaz, Henry Flint.

24 PANELS
En junio de 2017, el incendio de Grenfell mató a 72 personas en una torre de 24 pisos en el oeste de Londres. 24 PANELS es una antología de cómic para apoyar las necesidades de los sobrevivientes. Editada por Kieron Gillen.

Mila, la hija de Andy y Effie, pasa sus días explorando las zonas salvajes solitarias del planeta Sampson e intentando mantenerse alejada de las garras de los malvados discípulos de la poderosa vampira bruja conocida sólo como Madre. Pero, al igual que a sus padres, a Mila no le gusta jugar de acuerdo con las reglas, y cuando aparece un cierto amigo robot de su padre, ¡nada volverá a ser lo mismo! Con todo el alcance y el corazón del clásico de ciencia ficción DESCENDER, Lemire y Nguyen se reúnen para acompañar a los lectores en una inolvidable búsqueda de fantasía.
