CROSSED PLUS 100 #1 (MR)
(W) Alan Moore (A/CA) Gabriel Andrade Writer: Alan Moore Covers and Art: Gabriel Andrade Alan Moore returns to monthly comics in epic fashion with Crossed +100! Set 100 years in the future, Moore has created a whole new world and history with a stunning attention to detail. Examining how civilizations rebuild and how generations grow, Moore weaves a rich tapestry of humanity evolving under extreme hardship, all of which is lushly rendered by Gabriel (Ferals) Andrade. Archivist Future Taylor leads a salvage team working to rebuild the historical record of the original Crossed outbreak. She's seen them in videos, but never any live ones, the Crossed are part of the distant past. Until suddenly, a handful appear, and the blood begins to flow. All is not as it seems as a horrific mystery unfolds and once again Alan Moore redefines the medium. This masterwork is a self-contained whole new world, no prior knowledge of the Crossed series is needed. All the covers for the series have been planned out by Alan Moore, with the images enriching and expanding on the series. Clues and glimpses of what came before, and what might be, are found throughout the variant covers. American History X Wraparound - Each of these will depict a specific time in the past hundred years, showing how things have changed and offering a peek at some key events. Each cover will display the year in which it takes place to help build the full picture. Crossed Culture - These are all images of how the Crossed have changed the way they live. With few humans left to hunt, and the animal kingdom thriving with predators, even the thrill-driven Crossed have had to make adjustments to their lifestyle. Future Tense - Each cover is an homage to a famous work of science fiction, and each of those original works ties into themes of this issue. New World Order Wraparound - These are not for the faint of heart or delicate of constitution. We can't even picture them in this catalog, they are visions of what an ideal all-Crossed world would be. If the madmen have their dreams come true, what would the everyday life look like® These covers are brutally intense images of true horror and may have scenes of torture, depravity, and nudity. These are clearly for adults only. Each copy of this edition will ship in a sealed polybag with a protective slip cover over the actual image to assure it can be racked in stores. The graphic pictured here is the slip cover only. Due to all these special protective measures this edition is strictly limited to initial orders. Also available with a rare Black Leather cover, and Retailer Incentive covers of Red Crossed and Design Sketch, showing the original works of series artist Gabriel Andrade. Don't miss out on the ultra-rare CGC Numbered Edition as well!

Religious zealots either love or hate the show, angry politicians worry about its influence on the nation, and members of the scientific community fear the implications of cloning a human being at all, let alone the Son of God.

WICKED & DIVINE #6 (MR)
(W) Kieron Gillen (A) Jamie McKelvie, Matthew Wilson (CA) Matthew Wilson, Jamie McKelvie. THE FAUST ACT is over. Welcome to FANDEMONIUM. The second arc of THE WICKED + THE DIVINE begins in its traditional manner (i.e. a ludicrous pun.) We'd say something like 'nothing will ever be the same again' but if you think about it, you can say that about literally everything, ever. Er...also some comic story. Probably.

Diciembre fue un mes bastante buenos para los cómics. Sandman Overture tiene el mejor arte que he visto en meses. Finalmente puedo leer de una sola sentada Punk Rock Jesus. El próximo número de The Unwritten será el último, y estoy seguro que será asombroso. The Autumnlands: Tooth & Claw de Busiek cumplió mis expectativas. Y realmente disfruté el comienzo del nuevo arco de The Wicked + The Divine. Sin embargo, si tuviese que elegir el mejor cómic del mes no tendría que pensarlo dos veces: Crossed Plus One Hundred # 1 de Alan Moore. ¡Extraordinario! Y ahora, sin más preámbulos, aquí están los cómics de diciembre:
CROSSED PLUS 100 #1 (MR)
100 años en el futuro, Moore ha creado un nuevo mundo y una historia con una asombrosa atención hacia los detalles; examinando cómo las civilizaciones se reconstruyen y cómo las generaciones maduran, Moore teje un rico tapiz de una humanidad que evoluciona en las condiciones más adversas. Taylor, archivista, lidera un equipo de salvamiento que intenta reconstruir el brote de la infección. Ella ha visto a unos cuantos infectados en video, pero nunca a uno vivo. Hasta que repentinamente aparece un puñado de infectados, y la sangre empieza a fluir.

WICKED & DIVINE #6 (MR)
El acto de Fausto ha concluido. Bienvenidos a Fan-demonio, el segundo arco argumental que empieza de manera tradicional (es decir, con un chiste ridículo). Diríamos algo así como “nada volverá a ser igual”, pero si lo pensáis, se puede decir eso sobre cualquier cosa incluso una historia de cómic.
