Your newspaper is printing comics? Can you post a pic of those editions?


When I lived in Spain, I got a fantastic Spanish language edition of Batman: Year One with the newspaper.

Oh, that's great.
I envy you for living in Spain, I've always wanted to go to Europe.

Bought this book for 3€ and it was very much worth it.

3 short stories by Azpiri. The art is very sexy but sometimes art to distinguish the forms and details that are in most panels. The short stories are very cool but a bit depressing. Clearly the author didn't have much faith in humankind when he wrote them.

For 3€, very good book.

Azpiri is a great artist, I don't know how good he is as a writer, though.

This thread should be stickied.

Finished Stormbreaker: the Saga of Beta Ray Bill last night and was really disappointed. I loved where the series started and hated how it ended.

Will be finishing Scud the Disposable Assassin tonight. I loved the first 19 issues, but hated issue 20. Will see where the rest of the series goes.

I am patiently waiting for my Alejandro Jodorowsky books to arrive in the mail.

It's about this robot who is designed to kill its target then self-destruct becoming aware of his mortality and then trying to live. He has all kinds of adventures and a bunch of crazy shit happens. It's really fun!

It reminds me of a Batman Beyond crossover.

This was published in 1996 though.

I recommend it and the whole shebang is is definitely worth the $25usd price tag.
