Y si tuvieras super-poderes?
What if you had super powers?? Upset with the lack of comments in my last posts (almost 200 weekly visits, and a 20% of returning visitors... come on!!! I know who you are and where do you live!!!!) I thought about a post where you all must participate.
What if you had super powers?? Which one would you like to have??
In my case, it is very clear. I would like to have telekinesis (tk from now on). And I'm not talking just about wearing tights and fighting crime (although possible). Tk could make your life easier, funnier, and definetively more interesting. Imagine. You wake up in the morning. Open the window and turn on the computer from the bed. Prepare breakfast while you dress up. Go flying to the Campus... and so on.
Going out at night would be better also. No one will push you with your tk-shield, and you could softly push girls towards you. You never need to buy a drink, you just get it. And if you see any asshole trying to start a fight, you tk-punch him from wherever you are.
Yes, of course, you could also dedicate your life to fight crime. You could cover yourself and your friends with tk-shields, rip guns in half, tk-hit your enemies. Because I'm not talking about a lame tk to move a pen over a table, or bend spoons. I'm talking about a tk as powerful as Hellion's or Psylocke's. I'm talking about breaking down walls and tearing tanks in half.
And you?? Which super-power would you like to have?? (note: not allowed combos, like enhanced senses + healing factor + claws, or invisibility + force field; neither allowed leechers nor mimics)
Y si tuvieras super poderes?? Mosqueado con la escasez de comentarios en los últimos post (casi 200 visitas semanales, y el 20% de usuarios recurrentes... venga!! Qué sé quienes sois y dónde vivís!!) he pensado en un post para que todos participeis.
Y si tuvierais super poderes?? Cuál os gustaría tener??
En mi caso, lo tengo muy claro: telekinesis (tk de ahora en adelante). Y no me refiero sólo a llevar unas mallas de colores y luchar contra el crimen (aunque tampoco se descarta). Tk te hace la vida más fácil, más divertida y, desde luego, más interesante. Imaginad. Te levantas por la mañana. Abres la ventana y enciendes el ordenador desde la cama. Preparas el desayuno mientras te vistes. Vas volando a clase...
Salir por la noche también sería mucho mejor. Nadie te empujaría con tu escudo tk, y podrías acercarte las chicas suavemente. Nunca necesitarías sacar una copa, simplemente la coges. Y si ves a algún gilipollas montando jaleo, le das una hostia tk desde donde estés.
También está, por supuesto, la posibilidad de dedicar tu vida a luchar contra el crimen. Podrías proteger a todo tu equipo con escudos tk, destrozar armas, y golpear tk a tu enemigos. Porque no estoy hablando de una tk cutre de mover lápices en la mesa, o doblar cucharas. Estoy hablando de una tk al nivel de Hellion o Mariposa. Estoy hablando de tirar abajo paredes y abrir tanques como un abrelatas.
Y tú?? Qué super poder te gustaría tener?? (nota: no se permiten combos, como sentidos mejorados + factor curativo + garras, o invisibilidad + campo de fuerza; tampoco se permiten parásitos o mímicos).

SPOILER GORDO. No digais que no aviso.
Copio y pego de 'La carcel de Papel':
Curiosa las reacciones que ha suscitado la dichosa muerte del Capitán América, pero una de las que más me sigue sorprendiendo es la de las quejas reiteradas de los aficionados ante los medios que han dado la noticia, acusándolos de “destrozarles” la sorpresa.
Pues no estoy de acuerdo, señoras y señores, no estoy de acuerdo con ese argumento.
Mucha gente ha puesto el grito en el cielo hacia los medios de comunicación (incluyendo a los muchos blogs que han dado la noticia), lamentándose de su actitud al dar a conocer la noticia y comparando el hecho con haber anunciado a los cuatro vientos que el amigo Willis estaba muerto nada más estrenarse El Sexto Sentido. No dudo de la honestidad de su planteamiento, pero hay un error de base importante: el foco de sus iras. Lo siento, pero la culpa no es de los medios. Éstos sólo han actuado de correa de transmisión de la editorial, que convocó ruedas de prensa para dar a conocer la noticia. Y, que yo sepa, el señor Joe Quesada no reunió a periódicos, radios y televisiones para decirles “shhhhh… a ver, hemos matado al Capitán América, pero no podéis decirlo, volved a vuestros despachos y callaros por favor, que es una sorpresa y no queremos que nadie se entere”. No, lo que les dijo el sr. Quesada es ”tíos, ¡que hemos matado al Capitán! ¡Proclamadlo a los vientos para que todo el mundo se entere y se compre el dichoso tebeo, joder!”. Que yo sepa, no recuerdo que ni los productores de El Sexto Sentido ni el señor Shyamalayanyáncomosellame diese una rueda de prensa diciendo “¡hey amigos! ¡Id todos a ver la película que el Willis está muerto!”.
Es una situación clónica de la ocurrida con la muerte de Superman, donde previo a su muerte se convocó a todos los medios o en el desenmascaramiento de Spiderman en Civil War donde, curiosamente, también hubo ruedas de prensa de por medio.
Si se considera que dentro de la trama argumental, este hecho es una sorpresa que, por respeto al lector, no debería revelarse, tengo clarísimo que ese respeto se ha perdido desde el primer eslabón de la cadena: la propia editorial.
Sin embargo, pese a lo anteriormente dicho, tampoco creo que el Sr. Quesada deba ser emplumado con brea y quemado en público. Ha hecho lo que tiene que hacer un editor: publicitar un tebeo. Ha emprendido una “arriesgada” campaña de mercadotecnia para que uno de sus iconos reciba más atención mediática que nunca y, con un poco de suerte, duplicar las ventas de su serie (de hecho, hace meses que se sabía que el número 25 tendría una segunda edición inmediata… curioso, ¿no?). Lo que, desde luego, no es malo: es su trabajo y lo hace bien. El problema es que los aficionados más acérrimos pueden confundir en estas épocas de globalización la continuidad y la obligada discreción hacia las sorpresas argumentales con los golpes de efecto de cara al mercado. Es evidente que la dichosa muerte de Steve Rogers no está buscando atraer al lector habitual de la serie. Es más, ni siquiera piensa en él, lo que está en el pensamiento del editor es conseguir que aquellos lectores que dejaron la serie hace años, que alguna vez se interesaron por el personaje o, simplemente, que tienen morbo por el tema, compren compulsivamente todo este arco argumental, con los pingües beneficios que eso supone. Incluso me atrevería a lanzar la hipótesis de un posible relanzamiento del personaje, con nueva identidad, que se pudiera vender como un “año uno” y, por tanto, como un nuevo inicio que atrajese a esos compradores que están hasta los huevos de la continuidad y no quieren tener que cargar con la rémora de cientos y cientos de comics books anteriores.
Pero que no se lancen fatwas contra los medios: sólo han hecho lo que la editorial quería que hiciesen.
Porqué he copiado este artículo? Porque me siento totalmente identificado con la opinión de Álvaro. Yo leo las ediciones americanas, y respeto a los que se esperan a que malediten las cosas en España, pero... sinceramente, creo que hoy por hoy es menos el esfuerzo de leer algo en inglés (incluso para esos que lo suspendiais en el cole) que pasarte más de medio año filtrando lo que ves, lo que lees o lo que oyes, en un intento por mantenerte en la burbuja de retraso a.k.a. España. No ves trailers de las películas que luego irás a ver al cine? Eso también podría considerarse spoiler, no? Todos sabemos que Spiderman 3 va sobre el traje negro, todos hemos visto esas secuencias con el Hombre de Arena, y escenas del campanario. Cuál es la diferencia entre eso y que yo comente que Spiderman se ha desenmascarado en una rueda de prensa, que el Capitan América ha muerto, que Mar-vell ha resucitado o que a la Bruja Escarlata se le ha ido la pinza y ha puesto todo el mundo patas arriba??
Vuelvo a poner el ejemplo de siempre... yo sabía como acababa LOTR y fui a verla al cine de todas formas. Y después de leerlo 3 veces, sigo llorando al final. El que se queja es porque quiere.

Acclaimed writer Warren Ellis (NEXTWAVE) and superstar artist Salvador Larroca (X-MEN) bring you this new universe — a universe witnessing superhuman power for the first time.

In a small town northeast of Chicago, people are losing their heads…literally.

He even gave the sheriff a fake name: “Johnny Blaze.” But the identity of the true culprit is even more macabre: Lucifer has taken up residence in a new host – a casualty of CIVIL WAR who’s bound to raise eyebrows! And what does this all have to do with CIVIL WAR?

Devi
It was the second century of mankind's arrival on earth
when the Gods of Light took up on arms against one of their own.
Bala, a fallen God, had rejected the old ways of the Pantheon
and sought to impose his dominion over man.
Feeding off the forced worship of men, Bala had grown
too powerful for the Pantheon to take him on alone
So the pure Gods each sacrificed a part of themselves,
to create a powerful entity.
She is Devi.
Ok, I'm a Marvel zombie, but it's nice to discover now and then other comics, specially when what you discover is as good as Devi. In this case, the comic I want to talk about is one of the newest releases by Virgin comics.
Created by Shekhar Kapur, this serie is written by Siddharth Kotian, with art by Mukesh Singh. They are all Indians, I think, and thus the way to tell the story may be a bit different to what we are used in the west, but, believe me, all them are every bit as good as other very reputated artists.
The story so far (7 issues have been published) is that Bala has returned, and he is seeking for some crafts that will allow him to recover his full power. But Devi has returned also. With some mortal humans and some powerful creatures involved, the action, the blood and the betrayal are guaranteed.
A very good story, a very good art... I don't know what are you waiting to get it!!
De acuerdo, soy un Marvel zombie, pero es agradable descubrir de vez en cuando otros comics, especialmente cuando lo que descubres es tan bueno como Devi. En este caso, el comic del que os voy a hablar es uno de los nuevos lanzamientos de Virgin comics.
Creada por Shekhar Kapur, esta serie está escrita por Siddharth Kotian, con dibujos de Mukesh Singh. Son todos indios, creo, y por tanto la forma de contar la historia puede que sea un poco distinta a lo que estamos acostumbrados en occidente, pero, creedme, ninguno de ellos tiene nada que envidiar a otros reputados artistas.
La historia hasta ahora (7 números) es que Bala ha vuelto, y está buscando una serie de artefactos que le permitirán recuperar todo su poder. Pero Devi también ha regresado. Con algunos humanos mortales y algunas criaturas más poderosas involucrados, la acción, la sangre y las traiciones están aseguradas.
Una muy buena historia, con unos dibujos geniales... no sé que estais esperando a conseguirla!!
