December comics / cómics de diciembre

What could be better as a Christmas gift than a fine selection of comics? In December I really enjoyed reading the DC Universe by Gaiman as well as the DC Universe by Byrne, 2 fantastic hardcover editions with plenty of unforgettable stories. Sacred Creatures and Astonishing X-Men were quite good, and Marvel Two In One was a nice surprise, however this month the big winner is Kurt Busiek, not only for his Astro City but also for his wonderful Batman: Creature of the Night (my favorite comic of the month!). 

ASTONISHING X-MEN #6
(W) Charles Soule (A/CA) Michael Del Mundo. LIFE OF X CONCLUSION! • We are trapped in the SHADOW KING's web. All strands have led here. • We have seen sacrifice, battle, manipulation, lies and the darkest truths. Now, at last, CHARLES XAVIER and his X-Men will save one world and lose another. Rated T+ 

ASTRO CITY #49 
(W) Kurt Busiek (A) Brent Eric Anderson (CA) Alex Ross. The story of Resistor, who's making headlines all across the nation. And one reporter is determined to find out the truth - not simply to report it, but to find her missing father. A story of protest and power, love and loss, and an enigmatic, ever-changing hero.

BATMAN CREATURE OF THE NIGHT #1
(W) Kurt Busiek (A/CA) John Paul Leon. Young Bruce Wainwright lost his parents in a violent crime…and in the real world, no superheroes exist to save the day. But as grief and rage builds inside Bruce until he feels he can't keep it inside anymore, something strange starts taking wing in the Gotham night! Perhaps Bruce's grief isn't inside him after all? Modern masters Kurt Busiek and John Paul Leon unite for the spiritual companion to the beloved SUPERMAN: SECRET IDENTITY, putting a new spin you've never seen before on the legend of Batman-and the dark emotions that drive him!

DC UNIVERSE BY JOHN BYRNE
(W/A) John Byrne & Various (CA) John Byrne. Legendary writer/artist John Byrne brought his unique vision to the DC Universe over his decades-long career. Rediscover his classic stories from BATMAN: GOTHAM KNIGHTS #2, CHRISTMAS WITH THE SUPER HEROES #2, DC COMICS PRESENTS: HAWKMAN #1, DCU INFINITE HOLIDAY SPECIAL #1, THE FLASH 80-PAGE GIANT #1, GREEN LANTERN ANNUAL #3, GREEN LANTERN: GANTHET'S TALE #1, NEW TEEN TITANS ANNUAL #2, OUTSIDERS #11, THE POWER OF THE ATOM #6, SECRET ORIGINS ANNUAL #1 and more!

DC UNIVERSE BY NEIL GAIMAN DELUXE ED HC
(W) Neil Gaiman (A) Andy Kubert & Various (CA) Brian Bolland. New York Times best-selling author Neil Gaiman's tales of DC's greatest superheroes are collected in a single volume. Gaiman, co-creator of THE SANDMAN and author of American Gods, teams with superstar artist Andy Kubert to tell the story that truly defines the years of Batman's life in the epic 'Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?'

MARVEL-TWO-IN-ONE #1 
(W) Chip Zdarsky (A/CA) Jim Cheung. The Fate of the Four Part 1 THE FOUR ARE NO MORE, SO TWO MUST DO! Something is very wrong with THE HUMAN TORCH and only THE THING can help him! It's the Marvel Universe reunion you've all been waiting for (well, HALF of it, at least!). Plus: What monumental secret has DOOM been hiding since the end of SECRET WARS, and how will it completely change the lives of Johnny Storm and Ben Grimm? PLUS: Includes 3 bonus MARVEL PRIMER PAGES! Rated T

MIGHTY THOR #702
(W) Jason Aaron (A/CA) Russell Dauterman. THE DEATH OF THE MIGHTY THOR Part 3 As the War of the Realms continues to spread, Jane Foster has finally had enough. Will she rally the Asgardians in time to save their home? Or has Odin's arrogance doomed them all? And as if total war wasn't enough, there's also the impending arrival of the unstoppable Mangog. Can even a guest appearance by Hercules avert disaster? Artist Russell Dauterman returns as LEGACY marches toward the Death of the Mighty Thor! Rated T+

¿Qué podría ser un mejor regalo navideño que una estupenda selección de cómics? En diciembre realmente disfruté leyendo DC Universe de Gaiman así como DC Universe de Byrne, 2 fantásticos tomos en tapa dura con muchas historia inolvidables. Sacred Creatures y Astonishing X-Men estuvieron bastante bien, y Marvel Two In One fue una grata sorpresa, sin embargo el gran ganador del mes es Kurt Busiek, no sólo por su Astro City sino también por su maravilloso Batman: Creature of the Night (mi cómic favorito del mes). 

ASTONISHING X-MEN #6
Todos los hilos han llevado aquí. Hemos visto el sacrificio, la batalla, la manipulación, las mentiras y las verdades más oscuras. Ahora, por fin, Charles Xavier y sus X-Men salvarán un mundo y perderán otro.

ASTRO CITY #49
La historia de RESISTOR está en los titulares de todo el país. Y una periodista está decidida a descubrir la verdad, no solo para informarla, sino para encontrar a su padre desaparecido. Una historia de protesta y poder, amor y pérdida, y un héroe enigmático y en constante cambio.

BATMAN CREATURE OF THE NIGHT #1
El joven Bruce Wainwright perdió a sus padres en un crimen violento... y en el mundo real, no existen superhéroes para salvar el día. Pero a medida que el dolor y la ira crecen dentro de Bruce hasta que siente que ya no puede mantenerlo adentro, ¡algo extraño comienza a alzarse en la noche de Gotham! Tal vez el dolor de Bruce no está dentro de él después de todo.

DC UNIVERSE BY JOHN BYRNE
El legendario escritor / artista John Byrne trajo su visión única al Universo DC a lo largo de su carrera de décadas. Redescubrid sus historias clásicas de BATMAN: GOTHAM KNIGHTS # 2, NAVIDAD CON LOS SUPER HEROES # 2, DC COMICS PRESENTA: HAWKMAN # 1, DCU INFINITE HOLIDAY SPECIAL # 1, THE FLASH 80-PAGE Giant # 1, GREEN LANTERN ANNUAL # 3, GREEN LANTERN: GANTHET'S TALE # 1, NEW TEEN TITANS ANNUAL # 2, OUTSIDERS # 11, THE POWER OF THE ATOM # 6, SECRET ORIGINS ANNUAL # 1 ¡y más!

DC UNIVERSE POR NEIL GAIMAN DELUXE ED HC
Los relatos de Neil Gaiman sobre los superhéroes más grandes de DC son recopilados en un solo volumen. Gaiman, creador de THE SANDMAN y autor de American Gods, se asocia con artistas de primer nivel. También se incluyen historias con Batman, Poison Ivy, The Riddler, Metamorpho, etc. y otras de las páginas de SECRET ORIGINS # 36, SECRET ORIGINS SPECIAL # 1, MIÉRCOLES COMICS # 1-12, BATMAN # 686, DETECTIVE COMICS # 853 y GREEN LANTERN / SUPERMAN: LEYENDA DE LA LLAMA VERDE # 1.

MARVEL-TWO-IN-ONE #1
Ya no son cuatro, así que dos debe ser suficiente. ¡Algo malo le sucede a HUMAN TORCH y solo THING puede ayudarlo! Es la reunión que todos han estado esperando (¡bueno, la mitad, al menos!). Además: ¿Qué secreto monumental ha ocultado DOOM desde el final de SECRET WARS?, ¿y cómo cambiará completamente las vidas de Johnny Storm y Ben Grimm?

MIGHTY THOR #702
Mientras la Guerra de los Reinos continúa extendiéndose, Jane Foster finalmente ha tenido suficiente. ¿Reunirá a los asgardianos a tiempo para salvar su hogar? ¿O la arrogancia de Odín los condena a todos? Y como si la guerra total no fuera suficiente, también está la llegada inminente del imparable Mangog. ¿Puede incluso una aparición especial de Hércules evitar un desastre?

SACRED CREATURES #5
Karen corre por su vida. Josh se encuentra con su hijo. Naviel encuentra ayuda inesperada.
