October Comic Books

Not that I got many on my last visit to B&M Amusement, mind you, but they were all fun reads.

First Born #2
After a long delay (First Born was supposed to be a summer event), the second issue of the three-ish limited series hits the stands. And once again, the story by Ron Marz is as great as Stjepan Sejic's artwork. Solid characters, awesome dialogue, nail-biting cliffhanger… Can Marz do no wrong?

Iron & the Maiden #3
Francils Manapul's cool artwork dazzles the reader once again, but just as much as the amazing colors. The story is fun too, but nothing to write home about. All in all, a satisfying read.

X-Men #203
Probably the weakest of the lot, but it was still a solid issue. The Blinded by the Light story arc ends here, so I might not continue with the series, even though it seems I'm always coming back for more, especially with the Messiah CompleX crossover looming over our dear mutants. Once again, Humberto Ramos's artwork is cool, but not as good as some (most) of his previous work. I'll be interesting to see how he fares on New X-Men and Runaways. Especially Runaways. Soon...

Runaways tiene que molar, ¿no?

Sólo he leído los seis primeros números, aunque ahora la va a guionizar (si no lo está haciendo ya) Joss Whedon. Dicen que la serie está bien... Probablemente compre los números de Ramos.

De hecho, el creador de Runaways, Brian K. Vaughan, está ahora mismo guionizando la octava de Buffy. Ah, la endogamia...

Sí que es verdad: aquí se conocen todos y el amiguismo funciona que da gusto (o asco, supongo). Pero sí: BKV pasó de Runaways a Buffy, y Whedon hizo lo opuesto. En fin...
