August Comics / Cómics de agosto

In August I received many great comics, such as Sacred Creatures, The Shaolin Cowboy and Astonishing X-Men. I was also very excited to get my hands on The Legion of Super-Heroes Silver Age Omnibus HC, I’m reading only a few pages per week, so it’ll last me for a while. I also enjoyed Marvel's reprints of classic Kirby stories. Busiek’s Astro City was impressive, but if only by a slight margin, I’d say the best comic of the month was Silver Surfer # 13. And now, without further ado, here are August comics as per solicitations:

AMERICAN GODS: SHADOWS #6 
(W) Neil Gaiman, P. Craig Russell (A) Scott Hampton, P. Craig Russell (CA) Glenn Fabry. As Wednesday attempts to rally his fellow gods to fight, Shadow is kidnapped by men in black-Mr. Wood and Mr. Stone, who brutally interrogate and beat him for answers on the coming god war. The Hugo, Bram Stoker, Locus, World Fantasy, and Nebula Award-winning novel and upcoming Starz television series by Neil Gaiman is adapted as a comic series for the first time! o A Starz TV show! 'Russell's lyrical layouts bring Gaiman's visual, vivid prose to life like no other artist.'-Comic Book Resources

ASTONISHING X-MEN #2 
(W) Charles Soule (A/CA) Mike Deodato. ENTER: THE ASTRAL PLANE! In the next chapter of this action-packed X-Men epic, PSYLOCKE, ROGUE, OLD MAN LOGAN and the rest of their impromptu team travel to the astral plane in pursuit of the dastardly SHADOW KING. But on the astral plane, not everything is as it seems, and reality is only as reliable as what you think it is… Will the X-Men be able to contain the chaos from spilling out into the world? From superstar writer CHARLES SOULE and rock-star artist MIKE DEODATO JR., ASTONISHING X-MEN is the book you cannot afford to miss! Rated T+ 

ASTRO CITY #46
(W) Kurt Busiek (A) Brent Eric Anderson (CA) Alex Ross. The final chapter in the Broken Man's century-spanning revelations about Astro City, music, rebellion, heroes and the threat of the Oubor. The Broken Man is mounting a defense-but does it stand a chance, or is it as cracked as he is? Featuring Honor Guard, the First Family and more, in a story that sets the stage for everything that is to come for Astro City.

DEFENDERS #4 
(W) Brian Michael Bendis (A/CA) David Marquez. The streets of the Marvel Universe have exploded into chaos, and the only thing standing in between the innocent people of New York and that chaos are the Defenders. But can a group of socially maladjusted heroes actually trust each other enough to continue as a team? Can the Defenders partner up with a stranger in a devil costume? And what is Diamondback's big plan? Rated T+

LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES SILVER AGE OMNIBUS HC
(W) Otto Binder & Various (A) Al Plastino, Curt Swan (CA) J. Bone. The tales that introduced the teen-team known as the Legion of Super-Heroes are collected in an Omnibus Edition for the first time! Don't miss these stories from the pages of ADVENTURE COMICS #247, #267, #282, #290, #293 and #300-328; ACTION COMICS #267, #276, #287 and #289; SUPERMAN #147; SUPERMAN ANNUAL #4 and SUPERMAN'S PAL JIMMY OLSEN #72, #76; and SUPERBOY #86, #89, #98 and #117.

SHAOLIN COWBOY WHOLL STOP #2
(W/A/CA) Geof Darrow. The Shaolin Cowboy hits town, and it hits back. With King Crab in hot pursuit, he runs straight into the not-so-kosher menace of HOG KONG and his twisted tale of ham-fisted revenge. High-cholesterol-fueled action served up hot with plenty of chasers!

SILVER SURFER #13 
(W) Dan Slott (A/CA) Mike Allred. • Once upon a time, a strange device scanned the Silver Surfer and found him the one being who was his 'most important person in the universe,' Dawn Greenwood. • And, it turned out, he was her 'most important person in the universe' too. • This is the story of a love that ended before it started, and began after it ended.

En agosto recibí muchos cómics estupendos, como Sacred Creatures, The Shaolin Cowboy y Astonishing X-Men. Fue emocionante sujetar en mis manos el The Legion of Super-Heroes Silver Age Omnibus HC, estoy leyendo sólo algunas páginas por semana, así que me durará bastante. También disfruté las reediciones de Marvel de historias clásicas de Kirby. Astro City de Busiek fue impresionante, pero aunque sea por escaso margen, diría que el mejor cómic del mes fue Silver Surfer # 13. Y ahora, sin mayores preámbulos, aquí están los cómics de agosto:

AMERICAN GODS: SHADOWS #6
Mientras Mr. Miércoles intenta reunir a sus compatriotas para luchar, Shadow es secuestrada por hombres de negro, que lo interrogan brutalmente y le pegan a la espera de respuestas sobre la guerra de dioses que está por llegar.

ASTONISHING X-MEN #2
PSYLOCKE, ROGUE, LOGAN y el resto de este equipo improvisado viajan al plano astral en busca del malévolo SHADOW KING. Pero en el plano astral, no todo es lo que parece, y la realidad no es tan confiable como se piensa... ¿Podrán los X-Men contener el caos?

ASTRO CITY #46
El último capítulo de las revelaciones del Hombre Roto: allí están la música, la rebelión, los héroes y la amenaza del OUBOR. El Hombre Roto mantiene la defensa, pero ¿tiene una oportunidad, o todo es tan agrietado como él mismo? Con la Guardia de Honor, la Primera Familia y más, en una historia que prepara el escenario para todo lo que está por venir.

DEFENDERS #4
El caos ha estallado en las calles, y lo único que se interpone entre el pueblo inocente de New York y ese caos son los Defensores. ¿Pero puede un grupo de héroes socialmente inadaptados realmente confiar el uno en el otro lo suficiente para trabajar en equipo? ¿Pueden los Defensores asociarse con un extraño con un disfraz de diablo? ¿Y cuál es el gran plan del enemigo?

LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES SILVER AGE OMNIBUS HC
Los relatos que introdujeron al equipo adolescente conocido como la Legión de Superhéroes son recogidos en una Edición Omnibus por primera vez. No te pierdas estas historias de las páginas de ADVENTURE COMICS # 247, # 267, # 282, # 290, # 293 y # 300-328; ACTION COMICS # 267, # 276, # 287 y # 289; SUPERMAN # 147; SUPERMAN ANNUAL # 4 y SUPERMAN'S PAL JIMMY OLSEN # 72, # 76; Y SUPERBOY # 86, # 89, # 98 y # 117.

SACRED CREATURES #2
Adrian hace una llamada telefónica. Josh recibe algunas respuestas.

SHAOLIN COWBOY WHOLL STOP #2
Él golpea la ciudad, una y otra vez. ¡Acción con alto contenido de colesterol!

SILVER SURFER #13
Una vez, un extraño aparato escaneó a SILVER SURFER y descubrió que para él la "persona más importante en el universo", era Dawn. Y resultó que para ella, él también lo era. Esta es la historia de un amor que terminó antes de que comenzara, y comenzó después de que terminara. ¿Pero es un amor que puede durar más que el universo? Porque el universo está a punto de desaparecer. De verdad.
