Paper releases
In the editorial panorama we open the week with the publication of 'Hexed' written by Michael Alan Nelson, acclaimed author of horror stories ('Day Men', '28 Days Later'), unfolds before the reader an attractive adventure of lyrical horror with art by Emma Ríos and Dan Mora. We continue with 'Public domain', which broadly speaking is our first contact in Spanish with the Eisner Award for Best New Series 2023, a story of corporate greed and art with a script by Chip Zdarsky. The last of the recommendations of the week goes to a Spider-Man with a pulp flavor and noir genre that is collected in the Maduro 'Marvel Omnibus Spiderman Noir. The Complete Collection'.
Hexed – Comic Planet
Written by Michael Alan Nelson, 'Hexed' is a lyrical horror adventure that features the American comic book debut of artists Emma Ríos ('Bella Muerte') and Dan Mora ('Once and Future'). Luci Jennifer Inacio Das Neves, whom almost everyone simply calls “Lucifer,” is a supernatural thief who offers her services to the highest bidder and who has stolen several fascinating objects from the terrible inhabitants of the underworld. From possessed teddy bears to haunted paintings to otherworldly demons, Lucifer is going to have to use all the tricks she has up her sleeve to protect her family and fight the monsters in her seedy city.
Public Domain nº 01 – Comic Planet
With 'Public Domain', the winner of several Eisner awards Chip Zdarsky, plans in a very interesting way the eternal historical struggle between corporate greed and art. “Based on the hit comic…” is the phrase that has haunted comic book artist Syd Dallas for decades. “The Dominion”, the superhero created by him, has generated movies, toys, video games and a lot of money, but he does not own his creation. Now his son Miles is willing to confront the company responsible for his family's misfortune.
Marvel Omnibus Spiderman Noir. The Complete Collection – Panini
All the adventures of 'Spiderman Noir' alone are published in our country, in a single volume. With great power comes great responsibility, but when those who have that power abuse it, the people have the responsibility to bring them down. The year is 1933. New York is governed by corrupt politicians, police officers who do nothing to protect the innocent, and unscrupulous businessmen. That's when a spider changes Peter Parker's destiny, but it's not the story you expect. A Spider-Man with a pulp flavor and noir genre.
