My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Este es el manga del libro de Darren Shan. En su tiempo, me leí la saga de un tirón, y me fastidió ese final de la saga la verdad. Luego, ni hablar de la película. Ahora por un reto vi este titulo y bueno, le di una oportunidad aunque del libro al manga tampoco es que me gusten mucho las adaptaciones.

Jane Eyre is the story of an orphan girl, despised by her relatives for being poor, and ending in an orphanage of the time, with cold and hunger. Then she will end up going as a girl's governess in Thornfield Hall, there her employer is a temperamental and strange man named Rochester.

This is a classic of literature, and is even considered feminist by many of the character's ideas (which are from believed come from Charlotte Brontë's autobiographical material). The relevant thing about Jane is that a woman who rebels against injustices, and whose bad circumstances fail to undermine her own inner strength, refusing to be trampled by others or to give in to her own convictions.

A Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys mystery unlike any other you've ever read! When the teenage brothers Frank and Joe Hardy are accused of the murder of their father - a detective in the small resort town of Bayport - they must team up with Nancy Drew to prove their innocence (and find the real guilty party in the process) in a twisting noir tale, complete with double-crosses, deceit, and dames. Writer Anthony Del Col (Assassin's Creed, Kill Shakespeare) and artist Werther Dell'Edera (Batman: Detective Comics, House of Mystery) bring the iconic teen detectives into the modern age, and redefine noir for a new generation of readers!

Despite the introduction of this comic as 'noir' and sort of gritty, I fail to see those changes, but how should I know, afterall, I'm not really a what you could call a real fan of the series, because I've never even see a book of the Hardy Brothers (kind of all american boys it seems) or Nancy Drew. Only watched some old movies of Nancy -that would explain why I'm not part of the 'Nancy was so cool' of the old crowd.- , and old episodes of the HB series, and okay I used to have a bit of crush over Sean Cassidy.

Este es un proyecto de novela gráfica de una serie muy popular que quedó trunco, siguiendo a un heroe poco comun: a Miles Vorkosigan. Puede considerarse una curiosidad, tal vez de colección para los fans de la saga space-opera.

Basado en la novela homónima de Bujold, el Aprendiz de Guerrero, esta novela gráfica recrea a un Miles Vorkosigan recien expulsado de la Academia y haciendo su propio destino yendo a Beta con Helena y Bothari :insertar prolongado suspiro:

El dibujo logra capturar ese desparpajo característico de Miles, pero , claro, deja atrás muchos detalles e información. Por ello dudo mucho que alguien que no haya leido cuando menos esta novela entienda algo de lo que esta sucediendo. Como que este tipo que ha sido despreciado por su condición física toda su vida es capaz de conseguir lo imposible.

 Hace demasiados años que no he vuelto a leer esta serie, asi que algunas cosas se me escapan, aunque el atuendo transparente de Helena no esta entre ellos, aunque siendo este un formato comic no es como si llamara demasiado la atención.

Y esta el asunto de que los personajes no son los que has conjurado en tu imaginacion. Sobre todo, en este caso, Aral y Cordelia. Y hasta Bothari. Helena tiene cierto parecido aqui a Eon Flux :P

¿Que si lo deben leer? Tan sólo para lo grandes fans de Miles, y como curiosidad. Lástima que la serie fue cancelada después de la primera entrega y deja todo colgando en un gran cliffhanger.
