November Comics / cómics de noviembre

I read quite a few good comics in November. The new arc of Eternals is shaping up to be great. The first issues of Laura, The Human Target and What’s the Furthest Place From Here were very promising! I continue to enjoy Batman Reptile and The Blue Flame, and I particularly loved the reedition of Batman Noel. However, my favorite comic of the month was, again, The Nice House on the Lake, in this 6th issue, James Tynion IV creates a fascinating conclusion for the first arc of the series. And now without further ado, here are November comics as per solicitations:

March comics / cómics de marzo

In March I had the opportunity to get my hands on some classic material like New Mutants and James Robinson’s The Golden Age. I also enjoyed reading Silver Surfer, Jessica Jones, Doctor Strange and Infamous Iron Man, and most especially Cinema Purgatorio (Alan Moore and Garth Ennis continue to deliver amazing stories). And I have to say that the first issue of American Gods was very good. However, my favorite issue of the month was Astro City #41, a touching story with a unique take on the superhero genre that only an author like Kurt Busiek could’ve created. And now without further ado here are March comics as per solicitations:

Collects THE GOLDEN AGE #1-4 in a Deluxe hardcover for the first time.

En marzo tuve la oportunidad de revisar material clásico como los New Mutants y The Golden Age de James Robinson. También disfruté leyendo Silver Surfer, Jessica Jones, Doctor Strange e Infamous Iron Man, y especialmente Cinema Purgatorio (Alan Moore y Garth Ennis continúan produciendo historias asombrosas). Y tengo que decir que el primer número de American Gods fue muy bueno. Sin embargo, mi favorito del mes fue Astro City #41, una historia conmovedora con una mirada única sobre el género superheroico que sólo un autor como Kurt Busiek podría haber contado. Y ahora sin mayores preámbulos, aquí están los cómics de marzo:

AMERICAN GODS: SHADOWS #1
Shadow Moon acaba de salir de la cárcel, sólo para descubrir que su esposa está muerta. Derrotado, golpeado y sin la certeza de a dónde debe ir, se encuentra con el misterioso Sr. Miércoles, que lo emplea para servir como su guardaespaldas - empujando a Shadow a un mundo letal de lo sobrenatural, donde los fantasmas del pasado vuelven de la muerte, y una guerra entre viejos y nuevos dioses está en el punto de ebullición.

ASTRO CITY #41
¿Quién es realmente el Astro-Nauta?

CINEMA PURGATORIO #8

Preparaos para estos cuentos retorcidos.

JSA: THE GOLDEN AGE DELUXE EDITION HC
Es el comienzo de uno de los períodos más oscuros de la historia de los Estados Unidos, la infame "Era McCarthy", JSA: THE GOLDEN AGE es una reflexión sobre lo que podría haberle sucedido a la primera generación de superhéroes de DC más allá de sus hazañas durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, mientras la paranoia impregna América. La primera generación de superhéroes de DC han sido obligados a jubilarse o a esconderse, o a enloquecer, con la excepción de unos pocos que están dispuestos a cambiar con los tiempos. Pero detrás de estas escenas se despliega algo aún más siniestro: una sutil trama que puede envolver al planeta y rehacerlo a la imagen de un hombre.

MR. PUNCH 20TH ANNIVERSARY TP

February comics / Cómics de febrero

February may be the shortest month, but certainly there was no shortage of comics supply! It was great to finally receive Byrne’s Alpha Flight Omnibus as well as Alan Moore’s Another Suburban Romance. There are some quite good Marvel monthly series but once again I was surprised by the quality of Invincible. My favorite comic of the month is Jason Aaron’s Unworthy Thor #4. And now, without further ado, here are February comics as per solicitations:

ALPHA FLIGHT BY JOHN BYRNE OMNIBUS HC 
(W/A) Various (CA) John Byrne. Legendary writer/artist John Byrne steers one of his greatest creations to glory! Exploding from the pages of X-MEN, Canada's premier super-team Alpha Flight takes the Marvel Universe by storm before starring in its own Byrne-helmed series! Guardian, Shaman, Snowbird, Sasquatch, Aurora, Northstar, Puck and Marrina fight to protect Canada from injustice and evil - including Master of the World, the maniacal alchemist Diablo and the terrifying Great Beasts! But they'll face their darkest defeat at the hands of rival Omega Flight. And when an Alphan falls, can the team fight on? Plus: Loki! The Hulk! And more!

Rated T

ANOTHER SUBURBAN ROMANCE
(W) Alan Moore (A/CA) Juan Jose Ryp. One of the seminal works from the writer who defined modern comics, Alan Moore, is re-mastered for the first time in breathtakingly vibrant color! Alan Moore's performance works making up the play Another Suburban Romance are translated into print and lavishly illustrated as full sequential stories. Comprised of three major pieces, adapted from Moore's original presentations by frequent collaborator Antony (Fashion Beast) Johnston, this original graphic novel is completely illustrated by Juan Jose Ryp. Running from the 1920's Chicago style killings in Old Gangsters Never Die, to the ruminations on modern life in the namesake piece Another Suburban Romance, this powerful work is an essential piece of the Alan Moore graphic novel library that no fan will want to miss!

CHAMPIONS #5
(W) Mark Waid (A/CA) Humberto Ramos. Oh, great! Just when the Champions had a nice little movement going on, here comes Gwenpool to ruin - I mean, 'improve' - it all, with her patented brand of consequence-less violence and disregard for human life! Rated T+

DOCTOR STRANGE #16 
(W) Jason Aaron (A) Chris Bachalo (CA) Kevin Nowlan. 'Blood in the Aether' reaches its jaw-dropping conclusion. Doctor Strange has run the gamut of his most powerful villains, and waiting at the end? The scariest of all… The dread Dormammu is back and bringing the hurt to his archenemy! Rated T+

DOCTOR STRANGE #17

Aunque febrero sea el mes más breve, eso no significa que hubiese escasez de cómics. Fue estupendo recibir por fin el Alpha Flight Omnibus de Byrne así como el Another Suburban Romance de Alan Moore. Hay algunas series mensuales de Marvel bastante buenas, pero una vez más me sorprendió la calidad de Invincible. Mi cómic favorito del mes es Unworthy Thor #4 de Jason Aaron. Y ahora, sin más preámbulos, aquí están los cómics de febrero:

Compuesto por tres piezas principales, adaptado de las presentaciones originales de Moore por su colaborador frecuente Antony (Fashion Beast) Johnston, esta original novela gráfica está completamente ilustrada por Juan Jose Ryp. Va desde 1920, los asesinatos de gangsteres en Chicago, a las reflexiones sobre la vida moderna en la pieza homónima "Otro Romance Suburbano".

INFAMOUS IRON MAN #4 
Es como en los viejos tiempos: Victor Von Doom es confrontado por Benjamin J. Grimm. Pero con tanta historia entre ellos, ¿podrá Victor convencerlo de que los tiempos han cambiado y que Doom ahora realmente es Iron Man?

December Comics / Cómics de diciembre

During the holidays I had the chance to read some amazing comics like Providence, 2000 AD or trade paperbacks like Captain Britain (which includes part of Alan Moore’s run) or the final two volumes of Yoshiyuki Sadamoto’s magnum opus, Neon Genesis Evangelion, which took him almost 20 years to complete. In addition to that I’m really enjoying Aaron’s titles (Doctor Strange and Unworthy Thor), but my favorite issue of the month was Gillen’s Uber Invasion #1.

Events take an unmissable turn in the conclusion to the shocking Dredd story from John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra; elsewhere the lineup comes to a barnstorming conclusion as Psi-Judge Anderson battles political subterfuge in 'The Candidate' by Emma Beeby and Nick Dyer; the stakes are raised in the fight against the Martians in Scarlet Traces: Cold War by Ian Edginton and D'Israeli; and there's a race against global extinction in Flesh: Gorehead by Pat Mills and Clint Langley!
