May comic / cómics de mayo

In May once again I celebrated Free Comic Book Day by going to The Turning Page, Milwaukee’s finest comic shop! (which, it so happens, is conveniently located in the east side, a couple of blocks from my house). This year I got 4 FCBD books, but this is probably the first time (in the past 5 or 6 years) that 2000AD wasn’t as entertaining as I thought it would be, however Scout Comics’ The Mall was surprisingly good. I really enjoyed the first issues of The Barrier, A Walk Through Hell and Jeepers Creepers. Sacred Creatures, American Gods and Thor continue to be really enjoyable series. DC Nation #0 had one good story (the one written by Tom King). I’m having so much fun reading the 12 trade paperbacks that I got, and I’ll be reviewing some of them in the next few weeks. Finally, my favorite comic of the month was The Highest House #4. And now without further ado here are May comics as per solicitations:

AMERICAN GODS: MY AINSEL #3 
(W) Neil Gaiman, P. Craig Russell (A) P. Craig Russell (CA) Glenn Fabry. As the stakes in the god war rise, Wednesday takes Shadow to Las Vegas to convince another old god to join their forces against the wicked new gods of America. The Hugo, Bram Stoker, Locus, World Fantasy, and Nebula award-winning novel and hit Starz television series by Neil Gaiman is adapted as a comic series!

ASTONISHING X-MEN #11 
(W) Charles Soule (A/CA) Greg Land. A MAN CALLED X Part 5.

Pledging to escape on a fantastic voyage, she sets in motion events unimaginable; a spell on a luxury space-liner, a brush with an interstellar war - Halo Jones faces hardship and adventure in the name of freedom in the limitless cosmos. A galaxy-spanning story, comics' first bona fide feminist space opera, and the first true epic to grace the bibliography of arguably the greatest comic book writer the world has ever known. The first in a brand-new prestige format series collecting the utterly compelling and groundbreakingly ambitious classic.

BLACK SUMMER
(W) Warren Ellis (A/CA) Juan Jose Ryp. Warren Ellis' eight-issue opus of masked hero revolution, Black Summer, complimented by the stunning and explosive art of Juan Jose Ryp, is nothing less than a sequential masterpiece. The world goes black in this story of super-powered heroes and villains.

They've made a new friend, and together they successfully defended their home from raiders - but the post-apocalyptic drowned London that the eleven Freakangels survive in is never a safe place, and never surrounded by friends. Night has only just fallen, but strangers already creep through Whitechapel with the worst of intentions and the weapons to see them through. In Freakangels: Volume Two, we discover just how bad the situation in sunken England has become, and we meet the last of the eleven strange Freakangels. But the twelfth, sinister Mark, is still out there somewhere.

They've made a new friend, and together they've successfully defended their home from outside attackers, a ghost from the past, and threats from within. In FREAKANGELS: VOLUME FIVE, everything you thought you knew about the 'Angels is wrong. In fact, much of what *they* thought was true simply hadn't been sufficiently examined. While Alice keeps watch over Whitechapel from the watchtower, the twelve Freakangels - that's right, *twelve* - down below are forced to re-examine their lives... and their deaths.

WALK THROUGH HELL #1 
(W) Garth Ennis (A) Goran Sudzuka (CA) Andy Clarke.

McGregor is younger, more dedicated, hanging onto some measure of idealism whatever the world might throw at him. When two fellow agents go missing inside a Long Beach warehouse, Shaw and McGregor are sent to investigate. But what they find waiting is far from routine, as the local police have already discovered to their cost. Before the night is out, our heroes will encounter terror beyond their most appalling nightmares-in a place where the night may never end at all. A new kind of horror story for modern America, written by Garth Ennis (Preacher, The Boys, Crossed) and drawn by Goran Sudzuka (Y: The Last Man, Hellblazer).

En mayo, una vez más, celebré el Free Comic Book Day yendo a The Turning Page, la mejor tienda de comics de Milwaukee (que, además, está convenientemente ubicada en el east side, a un par de cuadras de mi casa). Este año obtuve 4 títulos del FCBD, pero esta es probablemente la primera vez (en los últimos 5 o 6 años) que 2000AD no estuvo a la altura de las circunstancias, sin embargo Scout Comics’ The Mall fue sorprendentemente bueno. Realmente disfruté los primeros números de The Barrier, A Walk Through Hell y Jeepers Creepers. Sacred Creatures, American Gods y Thor continúan siendo series realmente agradables. DC Nation # 0 tuvo una buena historia (escrita por Tom King). Me estoy divirtiendo mucho leyendo los 12 tomos que obtuve, y revisaré algunos de ellos en las próximas semanas. Finalmente, mi comic favorito del mes fue The Highest House # 4. Y ahora sin más preámbulos aquí están los cómics de mayo:

Ella está por cumplir 40, con un agotamiento al límite, y los recuerdos espantosos de su última investigación todavía se aferran como sombras. McGregor es más joven, más dedicado, se aferra en cierta medida al idealismo. Cuando dos compañeros agentes desaparecen dentro de un almacén de Long Beach, Shaw y McGregor son enviados a investigar. Pero lo que encuentran está muy lejos de la rutina, como la policía local ya ha descubierto. Antes de que termine la jornada, nuestros héroes se encontrarán con el terror más allá de sus más terroríficas pesadillas, en un lugar donde la noche nunca termina. Una nueva clase de historia de terror para la América moderna, escrita por Garth Ennis y dibujada por Goran Sudzuka.
