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!!
