November Comics / Cómics de noviembre

There were only a few comics for me in November. I was quite excited to get a bunch of heavily discounted Avatar Press trades. My favorite comic of the month was American Gods My Ainsel # 8. And now, without further ado, here are November comics as per solicitations:

AMERICAN GODS: MY AINSEL #8

The Hugo, Bram Stoker, Locus, World Fantasy, and Nebula award-winning novel and hit Starz television series by Neil Gaiman is adapted as a comic series!

BAD SIGNAL
(W) Warren Ellis (A) Jacen Burrows Continuing the series, this graphic novel features the latest Bad Signal columns profusely illustrated with dozens of stunning new illustrations by celebrated artist Jacen Burrows. Warren Ellis's e-mail column shows that he is a modern master of the short form essay as his biting wit makes even the most esoteric of topics must reads. Ellis describes the work as 'Bad Signal is me on the move, emptying my head of thoughts and shoving them into a handheld computer with a wireless modem plugged into it, so that I can instantly bug four thousand people with useless email from public toilets all over the world.'

FRANKENSTEIN'S WOMB
The newest addition to Warren Ellis' Apparat line of original graphic novels has arrived! 1816 was called 'The Year Without A Summer.' In the weird darkness of that July's volcanic winter, Mary Wollestonecraft Godwin began writing Frankenstein on the shore of Lake Geneva in Switzerland. But that is not where Frankenstein began. It began months earlier when, en route through Germany to Switzerland, Mary, her future husband Percy Shelley, and her stepsister Clair Clairmont approached a strange castle. Castle Frankenstein, some one hundred years earlier, had been home to Johann Conrad Dippel, whose experiments included the independent invention of nitroglycerin, a distillation of the elixir of life - and the transfer of a live soul into an awful accretion of human body parts. Mary never spoke of having entered the real Castle Frankenstein, stark on its hilltop south of Darmstadt. But she did. And she was never the same again - because something was haunting that tower, and Mary met it there! Fear, death and alchemy - the modern age is created here, in lost moments in a ruined castle on a day never recorded. Following up the huge successes of Crecy and Aetheric Mechanics, Ellis turns his spark of mad genius to bring us a fantastical tale in this all new original graphic novel illustrated in atmospheric perfection by newcomer Marek Oleksicki. Also available in a Direct Market exclusive Hardcover edition limited to just 1,000 copies.

THOR #7 

(W) Jason Aaron (A) Tony Moore (CA) Michael Del Mundo. A TALE OF YOUNG THOR FROM THE VIKING AGE! Every time Thor comes to Midgard, he gets all the mead, battle and romance a young god could possibly want. But he still can't figure out how to prove himself worthy of Mjolnir. And now Odin is determined to keep his son away from Midgard for good. And young Loki knows just the way to do it. Rated T+

Hubo pocos cómics para mí en noviembre. Me encantó haber conseguido varios trades de Avatar Press con descuentos especiales. Mi cómic favorito del mes fue American Gods My Ainsel # 8. Y ahora, sin mayores preámbulos, ahí van los cómics de noviembre:

AMERICAN GODS: MY AINSEL #8

BAD SIGNAL

La columna de correo electrónico de Warren Ellis muestra que él es un maestro moderno del ensayo de forma corta, ya que su ingenio mordaz hace que incluso los temas más esotéricos deban ser leídos. Ellis describe el trabajo como 'Bad Signal soy yo en movimiento, vaciando mi cabeza de pensamientos y metiéndolos en una computadora de mano con un módem inalámbrico enchufado, para que al instante puede molestar a cuatro mil personas con correos electrónicos inútiles desde baños públicos. en todo el mundo'.

CHRONICLES OF WORMWOOD LAST ENEMY

El 26 de agosto de 1346, la guerra moderna cambió para siempre. Esta es la historia de la batalla más grande de Inglaterra. Con el arte increíblemente detallado de Raulo Cáceres.

DARK BLUE
El violento y perturbado policía Frank tiene demasiados problemas. Tiene un compañero que está convencido de que padece una enfermedad mental, un comandante en jefe y un asesino a quien nadie más quiere atrapar. La presión de su vida salvaje está provocando arrebatos y alucinaciones asesinas. Frank está de cuesta abajo. Y él podría llevarse a todos con él. Nada es lo que parece.

FRANKENSTEIN'S WOMB
1816 fue llamado 'el año sin verano'. En la extraña oscuridad del invierno volcánico de ese mes de julio, Mary Wollestonecraft Godwin comenzó a escribir Frankenstein en la orilla de Lake Geneva en Suiza. Pero ahí no es donde comenzó Frankenstein. Comenzó meses antes cuando, en el camino a través de Alemania a Suiza, Mary, su futuro esposo, Percy Shelley, y su hermanastra Clair Clairmont se acercaron a un extraño castillo. Castle Frankenstein, unos cien años antes, había sido el hogar de Johann Conrad Dippel, cuyos experimentos incluyeron la invención independiente de la nitroglicerina, una destilación del elixir de la vida, y la transferencia de un alma viva a una creación terrible de partes del cuerpo humano. Mary nunca habló de haber entrado en el verdadero Castillo Frankenstein, austero en su colina al sur de Darmstadt. Pero ella lo hizo. Y nunca volvió a ser la misma, porque algo estaba acechando esa torre, ¡y Mary lo encontró allí! Miedo, muerte y alquimia: la era moderna se crea aquí, en momentos perdidos en un castillo en ruinas en un día nunca registrado.

THOR #7 
Cada vez que Thor viene a Midgard, obtiene toda la aguamiel, la batalla y el romance que un joven dios podría desear. Pero todavía no puede entender cómo demostrar que es digno de Mjolnir. Y ahora Odin está decidido a mantener a su hijo alejado de Midgard para siempre. Y el joven Loki sabe exactamente la manera de hacerlo.
