December Comics / Cómics de diciembre

During the holidays I had the chance to read some amazing comics like Providence, 2000 AD or trade paperbacks like Captain Britain (which includes part of Alan Moore’s run) or the final two volumes of Yoshiyuki Sadamoto’s magnum opus, Neon Genesis Evangelion, which took him almost 20 years to complete. In addition to that I’m really enjoying Aaron’s titles (Doctor Strange and Unworthy Thor), but my favorite issue of the month was Gillen’s Uber Invasion #1. 

2000 AD PACK SEP
Blazing SF action from the Eisner-nominated UK anthology! Events take an unmissable turn in the conclusion to the shocking Dredd story from John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra; elsewhere the lineup comes to a barnstorming conclusion as Psi-Judge Anderson battles political subterfuge in 'The Candidate' by Emma Beeby and Nick Dyer; the stakes are raised in the fight against the Martians in Scarlet Traces: Cold War by Ian Edginton and D'Israeli; and there's a race against global extinction in Flesh: Gorehead by Pat Mills and Clint Langley!

Things go from fantasy to far-out as Brian goes Multiversal - facing Slaymaster, the Crazy Gang, Mad Jim Jaspers and the Fury! He's Britain's champion - now and forever!
