Unlike previous months, in June I only got a few comics. Doctor Strange and Cinema Purgatorio were quite good. I bought Rebirth # 1 because it was a giant-sized issue with a very low price (which I always appreciate), and some of my favorite artists were in it; I have to admit it was surprisingly satisfactory. However, the best issue of the month was Alan Moore’s Providence # 9. And now, without further ado, here are June comics as per solicitations:
CINEMA PURGATORIO #2

A diferencia de meses anteriores, en junio hubo poquitos cómics. "Doctor Strange" y "Cinema Purgatorio" me gustaron bastante. Compré "Rebirth" porque era un especial extra grande a un precio bajo (algo que siempre valoro), y algunos de mis artistas favoritos estaban allí; debo admitir que fue sorprendentemente satisfactorio. Sin embargo, el mejor cómic del mes fue "Providence" de Alan Moore. Así que sin más preámbulos los dejo con los cómics de junio:

There were only 9 comics for me this month. But the good thing is that most of them were absolutely great. Garth Ennis and his All Star Section 8 is the funniest comic I’ve read in 2015, I literally couldn’t stop laughing when I was reading it. On a similar vein, Airboy was also hilarious, and much better than what was expected. And my favorite comic of the month is Crossed Plus Hundred # 5. And now, without further ado, here are June comics as per solicitations.
AIRBOY #1 (of 4) (MR)
Worlds and minds explode in a brand-new series! When acclaimed comics author JAMES ROBINSON (Starman, Fantastic Four) is hired to write a reboot of the 1940s action hero Airboy, he's reluctant to do yet another Golden Age reboot. Just what the hell has happened to his career-?! His marriage?! His life?! Hey, it's nothing that a drink can't fix. It's after one such night of debauchery with artist GREG HINKLE that the project really comes into its own. Quite literally. Because Airboy himself appears to set the two depraved comic book creators on the straight and narrow. But is the task too much for our hero?
ALL-STAR SECTION 8 #1 (of 6)

He gathers old friends Bueno Excellente, Baytor and the seemingly reborn Dogwelder, along with some new faces - but he still needs that elusive eighth member. And that's when the Dark Knight Detective gets an offer he can't refuse in part one of this unforgettable six-issue miniseries.

Este mes sólo hubo 9 cómics para mí. Pero lo bueno es que casi todos fueron estupendos. Garth Ennis y su All Star Section 8 es el cómic más divertido que he leído en el 2015, literalmente no pude dejar de reírme mientras lo leía. De manera similar, Airboy también fue hilarante, y mucho mejor de lo que había esperado. Y mi cómic favorito del mes es Crossed Plus Hundred # 5. Y ahora, sin mayores preámbulos, aquí están los cómics de junio.
AIRBOY #1 (of 4) (MR)
Cuando el aclamado autor de cómics JAMES ROBINSON (“STARMAN”, “FANTASTIC FOUR”) es contratado para darle un nuevo giro a AIRBOY, héroe de acción de 1940, él es reacio a hacer otro refrito de la Edad de Oro. ¿Qué demonios ha pasado con su carrera? ¿Su matrimonio? ¿Su vida? No es nada que un trago no pueda arreglar. Es después de una de esas noches de libertinaje con el artista GREG HINKLE que el proyecto realmente cobra vida. Literalmente. Porque el mismísimo AIRBOY aparece para guiar por el buen camino a estos dos depravados creadores de cómics.
ALL STAR SECTION 8 #1 (of 6)
¡Los más grandes superhéroes de todos los tiempos, desaparecidos desde el final de la saga de HITMAN, están de vuelta!

Y es entonces cuando el Caballero Oscuro recibe una oferta que no podrá rechazar.
