November comic books / cómics de noviembre

Rodin Esquejo

And now it’s time to talk about November comic books: Kick-Ass 2 # 5 was even more violent and shocking than the previous issue, but that didn’t prevent Mark Millar from writing a couple of very moving moments. I loved it. The Kapow Guinness special was also a pleasant surprise, each frame has been illustrated by a different artist, and I had so much fun recognizing the styles of dozens of pencilers. As usual, Image titles have been quite good, and I’ll be reviewing a couple of them in the following days. Meanwhile, feel free to make suggestions about the titles that I should review first. And now without further ado, here you have November comics as per solicitations.

¡Cómics de noviembre! Kick-Ass 2 # 5 fue más violento e impactante que el número anterior, pero además Mark Millar escribe un par de momentos realmente conmovedores. Me encantó. El especial Kapow Guinness fue una simpática sorpresa, cada viñeta es ilustrada por un artista diferente, y me divertí mucho indentificando los estilos de docenas de dibujantes. Como siempre, los títulos de Image fueron bastante buenos, así que reseñaré un par de ellos en los próximos días. Mientras tanto, siéntanse libres de sugerir qué títulos debería comentar en primer lugar.
