He can’t even remember what it was like to don the red and blue and swing through the night sky. Doesn’t want to, anyway. After all, there’s nothing left to fight for, is there? That is until an old “friend” appears on Peter’s doorstep, bearing a package and a message -- and everything changes. If it’s not Peter’s responsibility, then whose is it?

Happy New Year. Desiderata
Happy 2007, madafacas of good will. My best wishes for you all, summarized in Ehrmann's 'Desiderata'.
Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.
Feliz 2007, cabrones de buena voluntad. Mis mejores deseos para todos vosotros, resumidos en la 'Desiderata' de Ehrmann.
Camina plácidamente entre el ruido y la prisa, y recuerda qué paz puede haber en el silencio. En la medida de lo posible y sin traicionarte procura vivir en buenos términos con todo aquel que te rodea. Di tu verdad tranquila y claramente; y escucha a los demás, incluso al aburrido y al ignorante; ellos también tienen una historia que contar.
Evita a los ruidosos y a los agresivos, ellos afligen al espíritu. Si te comparas con otras personas, puedes tornarte vanidoso y amargo; porque siempre habrá personas más grandes y más pequeñas que tú. Disfruta de tus logros y también de tus planes.
Mantén el interés en tu propia carrera, por humilde que sea; es una verdadera posesión en las cambiantes fortunas del tiempo. Sé cuidadoso en los negocios; pues el mundo está lleno de trampas. Pero no dejes que esto te ciegue a la virtud del mundo, muchas personas luchan por grandes ideales, y en todas partes la vida está llena de heroísmo.
Sé tú mismo. En especial, no finjas afecto. Tampoco seas cínico ante el amor, porque frente a la aridez y al desencanto, el amor es perenne como la hierba.
Toma con serenidad el consejo de los años, y renuncia grácilmente a los dones de la juventud. Nutre la fuerza del espíritu para protegerte de las desgracias inesperadas, pero no te crees falsos fantasmas. Muchos miedos nacen de la fatiga y la soledad. Sin olvidar una justa disciplina, sé amable contigo mismo.
Eres un hijo del Universo, no menos que los árboles y las estrellas. Tienes derecho a estar aquí. Y no importa si te resulta evidente o no, no hay duda de que el Universo se está desarrollando como debe.
Por ello procura estar en paz con Dios, no importa cómo lo imagines. Y, cualesquiera sean tus trabajos y aspiraciones, mantén la paz en tu espíritu en la ruidosa confusión de la vida.
A pesar del trabajo duro, las falsas esperanzas y los sueños rotos, éste sigue siendo un mundo hermoso.
Procura estar alegre.
Lucha por ser feliz.

In the Battle of Thermopylae of 480 BC an alliance of Greek city-states fought the invading Persian army in the pass of Thermopylae. Vastly outnumbered, the Greeks delayed the enemy in one of the most famous last stands of history. A small force led by King Leonidas of Sparta blocked the only road through which the massive army of Xerxes I could pass. The Persians succeeded in defeating the Greeks but sustained heavy losses, disproportionate to those of the Greeks. A local resident named Ephialtes betrayed the Greeks, revealing a mountain path that led behind the Greek lines. Dismissing the rest of the army, King Leonidas stayed behind with 300 Spartans and 700 Thespian volunteers. Though they knew it meant their own deaths, they secured the retreat of the other Greek forces.
In may 1998, Frank Miller published the first of 5 issues depicting this battle from the perspective of Leonidas I, king of Sparta. The movie based on the graphic novel will premier 2007, and thuough Holliwood will smooth the film, even if they keep only one third the bloodshed we see in the comic,... will be a very violent film.
The comic start with the spartan guard marching to fight Xerxes' army. It is a very important holiday in Sparta and it is forbidden to fight in that days. Leonidas, sure that Xerxes will annihilate them if they wait too long, gather his guard (the 300 Spartans) and rush to face the enemy, hoping to stop them in the pass of Thermopylae.
Even joined by some other greek's cities armies, Xerxes' army overwhelming outnumber them, but in the narrow pass of Thermopylae the numbers are not what matters.
However, a greek traitor informs Xerxes about a way to surround the greek army. Most of them left as soon as the scouts inform them about this manoeuvre, but Spartans and Thespian make their last stand to guarantee their retreat. You all can figure out how this finish.
Simonides composed a well-known epigram, which was engraved as an epitaph on a commemorative stone placed on top of the burial mound of the Spartans at Thermopylae. It is also the hill on which the last of them died. Spyridon Marinatos discovered large numbers of Persian arrowheads there. The original stone is not to be found now.Instead the epitaph was engraved on a new stone erected in 1955. The text is
- Ὦ ξεῖν’, ἀγγέλλειν Λακεδαιμονίοις ὅτι τῇδε
- κείμεθα, τοῖς κείνων ῥήμασι πειθόμενοι.
- Go tell the Spartans, passerby,
That here, by Spartan law, we lie
La Batalla de las Termópilas fue un importante escenario del conflicto entre las polis griegas, con Esparta y Atenas a la cabeza, contra el Imperio Persa en el 480 adC. Jerjes I, emperador persa, se propuso conquistar Grecia y comenzó con muy buen pie. Atenas quería detener la invasión como fuese y consiguió convencer a Leónidas I, Rey de Esparta, para que participase. La batalla más importante se celebró en un lugar llamado valle de las Termópilas. Allí esperó a los persas un ejército compuesto por 300 hoplitas espartanos (a los que hay que sumar otros 600 ilotas, pues cada espartano llevaba 2 siervos a su servicio), 500 de Tegea, otros 500 de Mantinea, 120 de Orcómeno y 1.000 hoplitas del resto de Arcadia: 400 de Corinto, 200 de Fliunte, 80 de Micenas, 700 tespios y 400 tebanos, además de 1.000 focenses y todos los locros. Según las fuentes clásicas griegas, los soldados persas conformaban un ejército que oscilaba entre los 250.000 y el millón de efectivos. Sin embargo, la formación compacta e impenetrable de la falange griega era óptima para retener a la horda persa en un paso tan estrecho y en apariencia infranqueable. Leónidas fue advertido sobre el gran número de arqueros que poseía Jerjes. Se le dijo que cuando disparaban, "sus flechas cubrían el sol" y "volvían noche el día". Dienekes, soldado espartano, consideraba el arco como un arma poco honorable, ya que evadía el enfrentamiento cuerpo a cuerpo. Fue entonces cuando pronunció su famosa frase: "Entonces lucharemos en la sombra".
El comic empieza con la marcha de la guardia espartana al ecuentro del ejército de Jerjes. Es una festividad importante en Esparta y sacerdotes y oráculo han prohibido luchar en esos días. Leónidas, seguro de que Jerjes los aniquilará si esperan demasiado, reúne a su guardia (los 300 espartanos) y sale en busca del enemigo, tratando de detenerlo en el paso de las Termópilas.
Aunque soldados de otras ciudades griegas se unen a su comitiva, el ejército de Jerjes los sobrepasaba numéricamente de manera aplastante (más de 100 a 1), pero en el estrecho paso de las Termópilas los números de poco cuentan.
De todas formas, un griego traidor informó a Jerjes de la forma de rodear al ejército griego. La mayoría de ellos huyó tan pronto como los exploradores informaron de esta maniobra, pero espartanos y tespios se quedaron a cubrir la retirada. Ya podeis imaginar cómo acabaron.
La hazaña fue recordada en una lápida conmemorativa escrita por el poeta Simónides, que decía así:
- Ὦ ξεῖν’, ἀγγέλλειν Λακεδαιμονίοις ὅτι τῇδε
- κείμεθα, τοῖς κείνων ῥήμασι πειθόμενοι
- Oh, extranjero, informa a Esparta que aquí yacemos
- todavía obedientes a sus leyes
November comics
As I did in October, here comes the stuff I have read this month. First of all I want to talk about Kevin Smith comics. I read Clerks' comics, Jay and Silent Bob's comics and the special Bluntman and Chronic. They are great. The pencils are quite good (some frames are really great). And the stories are really funny. Besides, if you have seen all Smith's movies, you will really enjoy reading these comics and filling the gaps. I mean, it is supposse that the comics and the movies are complementary. You should read it! Don´t miss the Clerk's cut scene! 10/10
And now, the Marvel stuff:
Como hice en Octubre, aquí viene lo que me he leído este mes. Antes de nada, quisiera hablar de los comics de Kevin Smith. Me he leído los comics de Clerks, Jay and Silent Bob y el especial de Bluntman y Chronic. Son geniales. Los dibujos son buenos (algunas vinetas son geniales). Y las historias son realmente divertidas. Además, si has visto todas las películas de Smith, disfrutarás leyendo los comics y rellenando la historia. Se supone que los comics y las películas son complementarios, así que deberías leerlo! No te pierdas la escena eliminada de Clerks! 10/10

Like Sun Tzu said, “Some battles can be won without firing a single arrow. All you need to do is sow chaos.” And who better to do that than the Son of Satan?
This is the Son of Satan as you’ve never seen him before, brought to you by acclaimed novelist Alexander Irvine (The Narrows), with searing art by Russell Braun (Animal Man) and Klaus Janson.
