W il nostro cappellaio che si scatena in notizie come queste 

[Selina Kyle]

Maccio&Cappellaio 
Caspita, io vorrei leggere Cenerentola.. 

[Cappellaio Matto]

Leggesse! Leggesse!
Anche perchè le eroine tutto pepe e cazzotti son pane per i suoi denti, eh!

Magari il primo, "Da Favolandia con Amore", essendo arretrato Planeta potrebbe far faticare un pò nel recupero, ma quello della Lion l'è bello che disponibile, sì.
Il secondo lo aspetto ancora, però non credo che le due mini siano così profondamente tra loro legate.
Ti farò sapere, comunque, a lettura finita. 

[Selina Kyle]

Infatti è proprio la caratterizzazione del personaggio che mi incuriosisce, in contrasto con l'immagine tradizionale che si ha di Cenerentola.. proverò credo.  

Edit: Cappellaio, ho comprato i primi numeri su Comixology, con calma le farò sapere.

The latest issue of "American Vampire," the second of the "Death Race" arc, operates on three levels. Travis continues to push himself and his vehicle to the limit in the titular race, we see a prior altercation between Travis and a girl he once saved -- who needs such aid again -- and we get a glimpse into the formative years of Travis and perhaps some understanding of why he is who he is now. In only his second appearance, Travis is well on his way to becoming an intriguing and very entertaining character.

The first thing to hit you when the issue opens is the continuation of the frenetic car race begun last month. Rafael Albuquerque makes this look so gorgeous, you can almost skip the words. The cars, shooting over cliffs and spitting out sparks as they slam into each other, are objects of beauty, the pace and tension in Albuquerque's panels is palpable. As the frame and hook of this arc, they work a nostalgic magic that plays with the perceptions of a time half a century ago, delivering it through a modern lens of storytelling.

The voice of Travis, our hero, carries the story by making you care and just flat out entertaining you. There is a line the character could easily cross over to become a joke or a pastiche of too many hard-edged heroes, yet he stays firmly rooted on the right side of it. There is something of a James Dean-esque quality to Travis, but he's original enough not to leave the reader wondering what the rest of the influences on his character are. He's a likable character, and when he's on the page you don't think about anything but his actions, his motives and his decreasing options for success and survival.

The flashback sequences depicting Travis' childhood are exceptionally well-crafted and executed. Scott Snyder's economy of words combined with Albuquerque's ability to convey large amounts of information on a single page is something other comics creators should study. What happens to Travis is presented in plain sight, but so is the effect it has on him at this young age and why he responds as he does. It's sad and it's sick and it might make you squirm just a little.

Dave McCaig's color work is simply amazing. He makes some bold choices with facial tones to play up the emotions and responsibility held upon these people. One panel in particular shows the oppositional driver in the race, his eyes bleeding out yellow as if he's a demon, barely containing the fire within. It's a nasty effect and one that sticks with you.

"American Vampire" continues to consistently deliver spectacular quality no matter what time frame or narrative tone it aims to set. The agility of Snyder and Albuquerque is one of their title's keenest strengths. This month, they deliver the straight up thrills of the road race, taking a few pages to illustrate the personal demons of our lead. This is a lonely man, perhaps still a boy, acting tough and playing out a revenge fantasy he might not yet be ready for. If you think this is a book just about vampires, you need to look closer.

Un po' di preview della nuove serie. Ammetto che non sono proprio entusiasta, ma magari quella di Cornell e quella sui Vodoo la provo, potrebbe uscire qualcosa di buono. Anche se per me questo è l'anno della Image.
Qualche altro Vertighiano vuol lasciare qualche parere?

Qualcuno ha letto Spaceman la nuova serie di Azzarello e Risso, che non è ancora arrivata in Italia?

A word of warning my friends, this review spoils the end of the previous issue. If you don't want to know what the big reveal was at the end of "American Vampire" #23, walk away.

Still here? Good. Let's get this out of the way right now: Skinner Sweet is back. If you're a regular reader of the series, you know the impact that previous sentence just hit you with. If you're not a regular reader, it's kind of like this: Michael Jordan just came back to the NBA. OK, so Jordan isn't really back, but Skinner Sweet is, and he's none too happy to be challenged by upstart vampire killer Travis Kidd. Simply put, Sweet is a total badass and without him, there is no "American Vampire. Sure, the brand could continue, but like the NBA with Jordan, it would be just completely different.

Kidd has a grudge to settle with Sweet, and in this issue, writer Scott Snyder tells us quite a bit about the origin of his grudge and the history of Kidd's relationship with Linden Hobbes of the Vassals of the Morning Star. Snyder has effortlessly populated the "American Vampire" universe with believably-real characters and taken it all a step further by weaving all of the characters' stories together in a manner that is both masterful and fundamental. This is how universes need to be built. This is how characters come to life. This issue is a wonderful sample of everything that Snyder has accomplished throughout the series to date.

The vivaciousness of the characters is enhanced by the meticulous art of Rafael Albuquerque, which is intimidating in its keen detail masked by apparent simplicity. Albuquerque has taken his responsibility on this title to heart and pours his heart into it. Shots depicting young Travis clearly show the same character as the older, more world-weary Travis who stands toe to toe against Skinner Sweet. Furthermore, Albuquerque constructs the world around Travis and Sweet. The cars the two are racing are heavy, solid pieces of American machinery. The desert they race across is arid and dry. The fangs in Skinner's mouth are deadly and sharp. Snyder breathes life into these characters, but Albuquerque teaches them how to walk, run and dance.

There are scenes in this book where the world needs to melt away so the characters and the characters become the sole focus for the readers. In those scenes, Dave McCaig's colors are less hues applied to images than they are the defining factor in creating the setting and mood. McCaig runs through an impressive palette in this issue, but does so only as the colors fit the story.

The theme of this issue is "consequences," and the legend of "American Vampire" is fit to burst with with them. Travis Kidd has made some choices resulting in some weighty fallout, and Skinner Sweet is the messenger of repercussion. There's one more installment left in this "Death Race" storyline, and I'm certain the consequences stemming from that issue will be set to play out in "American Vampire" for a good long time to come.

Se solo la RW portasse in Italia la seconda miniserie di Seaguy...

Concordo in pieno, mi è piaciuta tantissimo quella mini

Ma non doveva uscire una terza mini? Mi pare si fosse parlato di trilogia, o me lo sono sognato?
