March comic books / cómics de marzo

For the first time in almost a century, there will be no new comic books released, Diamond, the US main comic book distributor has been temporarily shutdown amid the pandemic. Fortunately, DCBS was still able to send March’s comics as well as comics that were scheduled to come out the first week of April. So that means that next month’s post about April comics will probably be the last for a while. I was very satisfied with the first issue of Marvels Snapshots and I’ll try to write a review about it, Marvels X continues to be good, and Ennis continues to amaze me in Punisher Soviet. However, my favorite comic of the month doesn’t come from Marvel but rather from DC, and I’m talking about Strange Adventures # 1, Tom King has done it again, great story and great art by Mitch Gerads and Doc Shaner. And now, without further ado, here are March comics, as per solicitations: 

MARVELS X #3
(W) Alex Ross, Jim Krueger (A) Well-Bee (CA) Alex Ross. There's something hunting the last boy on Earth. Something that doesn't want him to be the cure and restoration of humanity. And no matter what Spider-Man or Daredevil or even Doctor Strange do to try to protect him, they can't save him from an entire world of monsters. Alex Ross, Jim Krueger and Well Bee continue this fantastic prequel to the EARTH X Trilogy. Rated T

PUNISHER SOVIET #4
(W) Garth Ennis (A) Jacen Burrows (CA) Paolo Rivera. Valery Stefanovich has put himself on a collision course with The Punisher. The roots of this issue go back to Afghanistan in the 1980s where Valery spent time in the Russian Special Forces and some of the most horrific things you can imagine. Things that CHANGED him. Frank and Valery have so much in common, but that never bodes well, does it? Explicit Content

PUNISHER SOVIET #5
(W) Garth Ennis (A) Jacen Burrows (CA) Paolo Rivera. Frank and Val have fought side-by-side against not only a Russian mob but also against the tide of history and these issues will make you see The Punisher (and possibly the world) differently than you do now. Explicit Content

STRANGE ADVENTURES #1
(W) Tom King (A) Mitch Gerads, Evan Shaner (CA) Mitch Gerads. After winning five Eisner Awards and topping year-end 'best of lists,' the comic book of 2019 was Mister Miracle. The comic book of 2020 will be Strange Adventures. The Mister Miracle team of writer Tom King and artist Mitch Gerads are joined by fan-favorite artist Evan 'Doc' Shaner to bring you an epic tale in the tradition of Watchmen, The Dark Knight Returns, and DC: The New Frontier-a story of blood, war, and love that readers will be talking about for years to come. Adam Strange is the hero of Rann, a man famous throughout the galaxy for his bravery and honor. After leading his adopted home to victory in a great planetary war, Adam and his wife Alanna retire to Earth, where they are greeted by cheers, awards, and parades. But not all is as happy and nice as it seems, as the decisions Adam made during battles on Rann come back to haunt his family and threaten the entire DC Universe. And now a surprise DC hero will have to choose between saving Adam Strange and saving the world. A story like no other, Strange Adventures is an ambitious, thrilling, shocking, and beautiful 12-issue saga that will push Adam Strange to the breaking point-and beyond!

SUB-MARINER: MARVELS SNAPSHOT #1
(W) Alan Brennert, Kurt Busiek (A) Jerry Ordway (CA) Alex Ross.

To kick it all off, best-selling novelist and Emmy Award-winning TV writer Alan Brennert (L.A. LAW, TWILIGHT ZONE) and superstar artist Jerry Ordway (All-Star Squadron, Crisis on Infinite Earths) to tell a story of Marvel's debut superstar: Prince Namor, the Sub-Mariner. It's 1946, and the boys are back from World War II. But they haven't left the battlefields behind, as reporter Betty Dean discovers when she and Namor reunite for an outing at Palisades Park, only to find themselves under attack.

Por primera vez en casi un siglo, no habrá nuevos cómics, Diamond, el principal distribuidor de cómics de Estados Unidos, ha cerrado temporalmente a causa de la pandemia. Afortunadamente, DCBS todavía pudo enviarme los cómics de marzo, así como los cómics que estaban programados para salir la primera semana de abril. Eso significa que el post del próximo mes sobre cómics de abril probablemente será el último por un tiempo. Quedé muy satisfecho con el primer número de Marvels Snapshots e intentaré escribir una reseña al respecto, Marvels X sigue estando bien y Ennis continúa asombrándome con Punisher Soviet. Sin embargo, mi cómic favorito del mes no proviene de Marvel, sino de DC, y estoy hablando de Strange Adventures # 1, Tom King lo ha logrado de nuevo, una gran historia y estupendo arte de Mitch Gerads y Doc Shaner. Y ahora, sin más preámbulos, aquí están los cómics de marzo:

MARVELS X #3
Hay algo cazando al último niño de la Tierra. Algo que no quiere que sea la cura y la restauración de la humanidad. Y no importa lo que Spider-Man o DAREDEVIL o incluso el DOCTOR STRANGE hagan para tratar de protegerlo, no pueden salvarlo de todo un mundo de monstruos. Continúa la fantástica precuela de la Trilogía Tierra X.

PUNISHER SOVIET #4
(W) Garth Ennis (A) Jacen Burrows (CA) Paolo Rivera. Val se ha puesto en curso de colisión con el Castigador. Las raíces de este problema se remontan a Afganistán en la década de 1980, donde Val pasó un tiempo en las Fuerzas Especiales rusas y vio algunas de las cosas más horribles que podáis imaginar. Cosas que lo cambiaron. Frank y Val tienen mucho en común, pero eso nunca es un buen augurio, ¿verdad? 

PUNISHER SOVIET #5
Frank y Val han luchado codo con codo no solo contra la mafia rusa sino también contra la corriente de la historia y estos problemas te harán ver al Castigador (y posiblemente al mundo) de manera diferente a como lo haces ahora.

STRANGE ADVENTURES #1
Una historia de sangre, guerra y amor de la que hablarán los lectores en los años venideros. Adam Strange es el héroe de Rann, un hombre famoso en toda la galaxia por su valentía y honor. Después de llevar a su hogar adoptivo a la victoria en una gran guerra planetaria, Adam y su esposa Alanna se retiran a la Tierra, donde son recibidos con vítores, premios y desfiles. Pero no todo es tan feliz y agradable como parece, ya que las decisiones que Adam tomó durante las batallas en Rann vuelven para atormentar a su familia y amenazar a todo el Universo DC. Y ahora un héroe sorpresa de DC tendrá que elegir entre salvar a Adam Strange y salvar al mundo. Una historia como ninguna otra, Strange Adventures es una ambiciosa, emocionante, impactante y hermosa saga de 12 ejemplares que empujará a Adam Strange al punto de ruptura, ¡y más allá!

SUB-MARINER: MARVELS SNAPSHOT #1
La historia del debut de la superestrella de Marvel: el Príncipe Namor. Es 1946, y los muchachos están de vuelta de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Pero no han dejado atrás los campos de batalla, como la reportera Dean descubre cuando ella y Namor se reúnen para una excursión en Palisades Park, solo para encontrarse bajo ataque. Un recorrido dramático, inesperado y revelador a través del Universo Marvel.
