October comic books / cómics de octubre

October was a month full of surprises. First of all, I received the deluxe hardcover edition of The Last Temptation, an extraordinary graphic novel that deserves its own review. And, at the same time, I also got a few issues of my own comic book Un-American Chronicles (if you look closely, you can see my name on the cover, how cool is that?). I had fun reading Silver Surfer (although this will be the last issue for me) and Thor & Loki: the Tenth Realm. The first issue of Birthright was very good. And of course, Miracleman continues to be as impressive ever (if not more). So, without further ado, here are October comics as per solicitations.

Octubre fue un mes lleno de sorpresas. En primer lugar, recibí la edición de lujo en tapa dura de “The Last Temptation”, una extraordinaria novela gráfica que merece una reseña aparte. Y, al mismo tiempo, también recibí algunos ejemplares de “Un-American Chronicles” mi propio cómic (si miran de cerca, podrán ver mi nombre en la portada ¿no es algo sorprendente?). Me divertí leyendo “Silver Surfer” (aunque esta será el último número que compro) y “Thor & Loki: the Tenth Realm”. El primer número de “Birthright” fue muy bueno. Y por supuesto “Miracleman” continúa siendo tan impresionante como siempre (o más). Así que, sin mayores preámbulos, aquí están los cómics de octubre.

Magneto asesinó al hombre equivocado, liberando un gran mal. Ahora, ROGUE y SCARLET WITCH se enfrentarán a él.

AVENGERS AND X-MEN AXIS #2
Los héroes asedian los campos de reeducación de RED SKULL. Lo que descubren dentro de ellos será el inicio de una gran calamidad.
