March Comics / cómics de marzo

Unlike other months, there were only a few comics in March, but they were good ones. Doctor Strange continues to surprise me; I’ve also been enjoying Paper Girls a lot more than I thought I would. I would consider The Young Protectors as the best comic of the month, but it wasn’t originally published in 2016, so to follow my own rules, I’d say International Iron Man # 1 wins this time. And now without further ado here are March comics as per solicitations:

ALL-NEW, ALL-DIFFERENT AVENGERS #6
(W) Mark Waid (A) Mahmud A. Asrar (CA) Alex Ross. The villain pulling the Avengers' strings stands revealed - someone who's been a part of Avengers history for almost all of the team's existence, in a way you've never seen them before! The All-New, All-Different Avengers' first story arc ends here - and you won't guess who's left standing on the last page. Rated T+

DISCIPLINE #1 
(W) Peter Milligan (A/CA) Leandro Fernandez. Between fighting her sister and hating her husband, Melissa still finds time to fall in lust with a stranger who's an awful lot more than he seems. What appears to be a simple seduction is revealed as something much darker and more dangerous. This controversial and erotically-charged tale of sex, death, and metamorphosis begins with an explosion of carnality and weirdness.

DOCTOR STRANGE #6
(W) Jason Aaron (A) Chris Bachalo (CA) Kevin Nowlan. 'THE LAST DAYS OF MAGIC' STARTS NOW! The Emperikul have arrived, leaving universes purged of magic in their wake. Their next target? The Marvel Universe. And with Doctor Strange weakened beyond measure? We don't have a chance! Rated T+

HUCK #5 
(W) Mark Millar (A/CA) Rafael Albuquerque. An old grudge leads to deadly threats against Huck and those he holds dear.

(W) Brian Michael Bendis (A/CA) Alex Maleev. Who is Tony Stark, really? Since learning that he was adopted as a baby, this question has cast a shadow over Stark's life. Now, it is time to uncover what his legacy truly is, a journey that will carry Tony into new directions as a man and as a super hero. Alongside his strange new quasi-ally Doctor Doom, Iron Man will discover new things about the Marvel Universe he didn't know existed before! A character deconstruction from Bendis and Maleev along the lines of their award-winning DAREDEVIL run! Rated T+

JUPITER'S CIRCLE, VOL. 2 #4 (MR) 
(W) Mark Millar (A) Chris Sprouse (CA) Frank Quitely. A new villain ups the ante with a threat that unites former enemies-and creates new ones.

PAPER GIRLS #2

PAPER GIRLS #4

A diferencia de otros meses, sólo hubo unos cuantos cómics en marzo, pero valieron la pena. “Doctor Strange” continúa sorprendiéndome; también he estado disfrutando “Paper Girls” mucho más de lo que hubiese imaginado. Considero que el mejor cómic del mes es “The Young Protectors” pero no fue publicado originalmente en el 2016, así que para seguir mis propias reglas, diría que “International Iron Man” gana esta vez. Y ahora, sin mayores preámbulos, aquí están los cómics de marzo:

ALL-NEW, ALL-DIFFERENT AVENGERS #6
No podréis imaginar quién queda de pie en la última página.

DISCIPLINE #1
Luego de pelear con su hermana y odiar a su marido, Melissa aun encuentra tiempo para caer en la lujuria con un desconocido que es muchísimo más de lo que parece ser. Una seducción sencilla se revela como algo mucho más oscuro y  peligroso. Este relato polémico y cargado de erotismo, sexo, muerte y metamorfosis comienza con una explosión de carnalidad y rarezas.

DOCTOR STRANGE #6
Estos son los últimos días de la magia. El enemigo ha llegado, tras eliminar la magia en múltiples universos. ¿Su próximo objetivo? La Tierra.

HUCK #5
Un viejo rencor genera amenazas mortales contra HUCK.

INTERNATIONAL IRON MAN #1
¿Quién es TONY STARK, en realidad? Luego de descubrir que fue adoptado, este asunto ha ensombrecido la vida de STARK. Ahora, es el momento de descubrir cuál es su legado; Tony emprenderá un nuevo camino. Junto a DOCTOR DOOM su insólito aliado, IRON MAN descubrirá cosas nuevas sobre su mundo.

JUPITER'S CIRCLE, VOL. 2 #4
Un nuevo villano. Una nueva amenaza unirá a antiguos enemigos.

PAPER GIRLS #2
Serán testigos de lo imposible.

PAPER GIRLS #4
¿Quién está al acecho bajo las calles del pueblo?

THE YOUNG PROTECTORS 
The Young Protectors Volumen 1: Engaging the Enemy. (W) Alex Woolfson, (A/CA) Adam DeKraker, (C) Veronica Gandini.

February comics / cómics de febrero

February was such a good month for comics. I’m amazed by the high quality of Doctor Strange and Silver Surfer, which are quickly turning into my most eagerly-awaited monthly series. Millar is still firing on all cylinders with Huck and especially the second volume of Jupiter’s Circle. And Image has a couple of promising new series: Snowfall and Cry Havoc. However, once again my favorite comic of the month, and by quite a large margin, is Alan Moore’s Providence # 7. Can’t wait to start reviewing this series. And now without further ado here are February comics as per solicitations:

ALL-NEW, ALL-DIFFERENT AVENGERS #4 
(W) Mark Waid (A) Adam Kubert (CA) Alex Ross. You thought the origin of the All-New, All-Different Avengers was surprising? You haven't seen anything yet! When passions flare between Captain America and Thor, they lead to Earth's Mightiest Kiss! Rated T+

ALL-NEW, ALL-DIFFERENT AVENGERS #5
(W) Mark Waid (A) Mahmud A. Asrar (CA) Alex Ross. The villain pulling the Avengers' strings stands revealed - someone who's been a part of Avengers history for almost all of the team's existence, in a way you've never seen them before! The All-New, All-Different Avengers' first story arc ends here - and you won't guess who's left standing on the last page. Rated T+

BATMAN THE DARK KNIGHT SAGA HC
Frank Miller (W/A/CA). THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS #1-4 and THE DARK KNIGHT STRIKES AGAIN #1-3. 

CRY HAVOC #1 (MR)
(W) Simon Spurrier (A) Ryan Kelly (CA) Cameron Stewart. BEHOLD THE MODERN MONSTROSITY. X-Men Legacy writer SIMON SPURRIER and superstar artist RYAN KELLY present fiends, fragility, and firepower in an all-new series, mixing the hard-boiled militaria of Jarhead with the dark folklore of Pan's Labyrinth. Includes an unprecedented use of multiple colorists (MATT WILSON, LEE LOUGHRIDGE, & NICK FILARDI) to define the story's threads, and an incredible variant cover by Eisner Award winner CAMERON STEWART. This is not the tale of a lesbian werewolf who goes to war. Except it kind of is.

DOCTOR STRANGE #5
(W) Jason Aaron (A) Kevin Nowlan (CA) Chris Bachalo. The Witchfinder Wolves are here and Doctor Strange is in trouble. The Empirikul is coming, Magic's days are numbered and Strange is not ready! Rated T+

DOOM PATROL TP BOOK 1 (MR)
(W) Grant Morrison (A) Richard Case, John Nyberg (CA) Brian Bolland. In these tales from DOOM PATROL #19-34, the world's strangest heroes have left behind almost every vestige of normality. Shunned as freaks and outcasts, the Doom Patrol faces mystifying threats that must be defeated-at any cost. These are the epics that introduced Rebis, Crazy Jane, Dorothy Spinner, the Brotherhood of Dada and more!

HUCK #4 
(W) Mark Millar (A/CA) Rafael Albuquerque. New revelations about Huck's origins come to light!

JUPITER'S CIRCLE, VOL. 2 #3 (MR)
(W) Mark Millar (A) Chris Sprouse (CA) Frank Quitely. Skyfox was once a member of America's greatest super team. Now he's kidnapped the Vice President in a bid to stop the Vietnam War.

PROVIDENCE #7 
(W) Alan Moore (A/CA) Jacen Burrows. Robert Black came looking for a story but what he found is a world of misery and woe. He's become a broken man only beginning to accept the horrors of the Lovecraftian world are real and hiding in plain sight. Alan Moore and artist Jacen Burrows have delivered a slow burn tale of fear and underlying dread that has delighted fans and scholars alike. Moore has written every cover detail, every single page, and every nuance of this work to create his most fully-realized vision to date. Fans of Moore's immersive style and meticulous grasp of storytelling will be thrilled to add this essential piece of comics history to their collections! Available with Regular, Pantheon, Portrait, Dreamscape Wraparound, Women of HPL, and a special Ancient Tome Incentive cover, all by collaborator Jacen Burrows.

SILVER SURFER #2 
(W) Dan Slott (A/CA) Mike Allred.  Why is Silver Surfer fighting the ever-loving blue-eyed THING? Who is this Alicia Masters person, and why hasn't Norrin told Dawn about her before? Where did that alien armada come from? What can they really do to planet Earth that is WORSE THAN DEATH?! • And WHEN, exactly, IS Clobbering Time?! Right now, True Believer! RIGHT NOW! Rated T+

SNOWFALL #1
(W) Joe Harris (A/CA) Martin Morazzo. Writer JOE HARRIS (The X-Files) and artist MARTÍN MORAZZO (Vertigo Quarterly), creators of GREAT PACIFIC, reunite for a brand new ongoing science-fiction series and an OVERSIZED DEBUT ISSUE featuring thirty-two pages of story! In the year 2045 it no longer snows. A catastrophic crash has left the climate ravaged, society splintered, and the newly-christened 'Cooperative States of America' propped up and administered by the powerful Hazeltyne Corporation. Only one man wages an all-out weather war against the system, wielding the forces of nature themselves as weapons. He is the White Wizard. The ghost in the night. Genius. Terrorist. Outlaw. Hero?

Febrero fue un gran mes en materia de cómics. Estoy asombrado por la altísima calidad de “Doctor Strange” y “Silver Surfer”, que se están convirtiendo en dos de mis series mensuales predilectas. Millar sigue dando lo mejor de sí con “Huck” y especialmente el segundo volumen de “Jupiter’s Circle”. Image ha lanzado un par de títulos prometedores: “Snowfall” y “Cry Havoc”. Sin embargo, una vez más, mi cómic favorito del mes es, de lejos, Providence # 7 de Alan Moore. Estoy impaciente por reseñar esta serie. Y ahora sin mayores preámbulos aquí están los cómics de febrero.

ALL-NEW, ALL-DIFFERENT AVENGERS #4
¿El origen de los nuevos Vengadores os sorprendió? Entonces aún no habéis visto nada. Cuando las pasiones estallan entre el Capitán América y Thor, el resultado será ¡el más poderoso beso de la Tierra!

ALL-NEW, ALL-DIFFERENT AVENGERS #5

BATMAN THE DARK KNIGHT SAGA HC
THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS #1-4 y THE DARK KNIGHT STRIKES AGAIN #1-3.

CRY HAVOC #1 (MR)
Amistad, fragilidad y armas fuego en un sólo título. Una combinación de militares duros con folclore oscuro. Esta no es la historia de una mujer lobo lesbiana que va a la guerra. Excepto que tal vez sí lo sea.

DOCTOR STRANGE #5
Los lobos de la brujería están aquí y Doctor Extraño está en problemas. Los días de la magia están contados. La avalancha se avecina.

DOOM PATROL TP BOOK 1 (MR)

Nuevas revelaciones sobre los orígenes de Huck salen a la luz.

JUPITER'S CIRCLE, VOL. 2 #3 (MR)
SKYFOX alguna vez fue parte del equipo más grande de superhéroes. Ahora ha secuestrado al vicepresidente de Estados Unidos, en un intento de detener la guerra de Vietnam.

PROVIDENCE #7
Robert Black buscaba una historia, pero lo que encontró fue un mundo de miseria y angustia. Él se ha convertido en un hombre destrozado que recién empieza a aceptar que los horrores del mundo de Lovecraft son reales y se ocultan a plena vista. Alan Moore y el artista Jacen Burrows han creado un relato de terror pausado, en el que el miedo subyacente es intenso.

SILVER SURFER #2
¿Por qué SILVER SURFER está luchando contra la Cosa? ¿Quién es Alicia Masters, y por qué DAWN no sabe nada sobre ella? ¿De dónde vino esa armada alienígena? ¿Qué le harán al planeta Tierra? ¿Y cuándo empieza la hora de las tortas? Ahora mismo, fan amigo. ¡Ahora mismo!

SNOWFALL #1
En el año 2045 ya no nieva. Un accidente catastrófico ha dejado el clima devastado, la sociedad se ha dividido, y los recién bautizados “Estados Cooperativos de América” son apoyados y administrados por una gran corporación. Sólo un hombre libra una batalla climática sin cuartel en contra del sistema, blandiendo las fuerzas de la naturaleza como armas. Él es el Hechicero Blanco. El fantasma de la noche. Genio. Terrorista. Proscrito. ¿Héroe?

January comics / cómics de enero

The beginning of 2016 comes with plenty of comics, just the way I like it. The first issue of Silver Surfer was very good, and I really enjoyed the conclusion of Nameless (I’ll be reviewing the series in April); Doctor Strange and Jupiter’s Circle keep getting better and better. I must say my favorite comic of the month was Alan Moore’s Providence # 6. And now without further ado here are January comics as per solicitations:

ALL NEW ALL DIFFERENT AVENGERS #3  
(W) Mark Waid (A) Adam Kubert, Mahmud A. Asrar (CA) Alex Ross. Warbringer has made good on his name, and the All-New Avengers stand poised to yank defeat from the jaws of victory unless they can put their differences aside--and in the case of Ms. Marvel and Nova, that doesn't seem very likely!

(W) Greg Rucka (A/CA) Nicola Scott. The hammer falls this Halloween! From New York Times bestselling and Eisner Award-winning writer GREG RUCKA (LAZARUS, Stumptown, Gotham Central) and superstar artist NICOLA SCOTT (Birds of Prey, Secret Six, Earth 2)! Detective Rowan Black works robbery/homicide for the Portsmouth PD, but her greatest mystery is the truth about herself…both who she has been, and who she will become. Yet there are others in Rowan's world with very long memories, and the power that one person holds, another will always covet. PLUS, each issue also features an all-new work of original fiction by GREG RUCKA! A new gothic-noir ongoing series about legacy, destiny, redemption…and the price of magic.

DOCTOR STRANGE #4 
(W) Jason Aaron (A/CA) Chris Bachalo. Doctor Strange has gathered a circle of magic-using friends to try and best monitor magic in the Marvel Universe.

The dramatic tension is building with each incredible ad-free 40 page issue and this issue begins the big unveils.

December comic books / cómics de diciembre

There were quite a few surprises in the last month of 2015, such as the inaugural arc of the second volume of Jupiter’s Circle, and also the final issue of Brian K. Vaughan’s miniseries We Stand On Guard. The second issue of Huck was good enough. And I absolutely enjoyed the 100-page super spectacular reprint of classic Teen Titans stories (so much quirkiness and old-fashioned humor in the same place… totally worth it). So now, without further ado, here are December comics as per solicitations:

Spider-Man! RATED T+

________________________________________________________________________________________________

En el último mes del 2015 hubo varias sorpresas, como el arco inaugural del segundo volumen de “Jupiter’s Circle”, y también el último número de la miniserie de Brian K. Vaughan “We Stand On Guard”. El segundo ejemplar de “Huck” fue lo suficientemente bueno. Y disfruté tremendamente como la espectacular reimpresión de 100 páginas de historias clásicas de “Teen Titans” (aunque estrambóticas y añejas, ¡valen la pena!). Así que sin mayores preámbulos, aquí están los cómics de diciembre:

February comic books / cómics de febrero

“All good things must come to an end”, and in February, after 6 outstanding years, “The Unwritten” comes to an end. I’m glad to say I was there at the beginning, in July 2009, when I bought the first issue. I’ve been a fan of Carey’s series ever since. The last issue of “The Unwritten” is my favorite comic of the month. I also read the conclusion of “MPH”, Millar’s miniseries (and I’ll review it on April). The final chapter of Olympus in Moore’s “Miracleman” was absolutely brilliant. But of course after so many endings there are also new beginnings, in fact, the first issue of Morrison’s “Nameless” was surprisingly good. And now, without further ado, here are February comics as per solicitations:

MIRACLEMAN #15 (MR) 
(W)  The Original Writer (A/CA) John Totleben • The utterance of a single word has unleashed hell on earth. • Johnny Bates has let the Nemesis out. Kid Miracleman is loose. • Smokes rises over London. And nothing will ever be the same. • Miracleman faces Kid Miracleman in the genre-redefining climax of Book Three! • Including material originally presented in MIRACLEMAN (1985) #15, plus bonus content. Mature 

MPH #5 (OF 5) CVR B TOCCHINI 
(W) Mark Millar (A) Duncan Fegredo (CA) Greg Tocchini. Down to the last MPH pills, the gang finds their speed powers running on empty just as the Feds close in. Will they have enough juice to make it through a final showdown? And at last, we learn what makes the mysterious Mr. Springfield so dangerous. MILLAR & FEGREDO dish up an epic finale you'll never see coming! 

NAMELESS #1 (MR)

“Todo lo bueno debe terminar”, y en febrero, después de 6 soberbios años, “The Unwritten”  llega a su fin. Me alegra decir que estuve allí al principio, en julio de 2009, cuando compré el primer ejemplar. He sido fan del título de Carey desde entonces. El último número de “The Unwritten” es mi cómic favorito del mes. También leí la conclusión de “MPH”, la miniserie de Millar (que será reseñada en abril). El capítulo final de Olimpo, en el Miracleman de Moore fue realmente brillante. Pero, desde luego, después de tantos finales también hay nuevos comienzos, de hecho, el primer número de “Nameless” de Morrison fue sorprendentemente bueno. Y ahora, sin más preámbulos, aquí están los cómics de febrero:

MIRACLEMAN #15 (MR)
MIRACLEMAN (1985) #15. Y material adicional.

MPH #5
Cuando las píldoras de MPH están por acabarse, la pandilla descubre que sus poderes han desaparecido y que los del FBI les pisan los talones. ¿Tendrán suficiente fuerza para una última fuga?  
NAMELESS #1 (MR)
Un astrónomo mata su familia, y luego a sí mismo, y deja una advertencia críptica. Una dama de velo caza a sus víctimas a través de las pesadillas. Un ocultista prostituto conocido sólo como Sin Nombre es reclutado por un consorcio de billonarios futuristas para una misión desesperada. Y el malévolo asteroide XIBALBA se acerca a un curso de colisión con la Tierra.

STAR WARS #2
