Occhio di Falco: Punto Cieco

Ok, mettiamo subito le carte in tavola: mi aspettavo di più. Molto di più.
Punto Cieco è una mini di quattro che si pone sul solco di Hawkeye & Mockingbird (Occhio di Falco e Mimo, pubblicato in Italia come Marvel Mix #91) e del suo crossover Widowmaker (i.e., Marvel Mix #95), e forse mi trovo a giudicare quest’albo in modo un po’ freddo perché non ho letto il primo e non sono riuscita a finire il secondo, ma quello che Jim McCann ci propone non è l’Occhio di Falco che ricordavo io. L’altissimo, tragico Occhio di Falco di House of M lascia qui il posto ad un personaggio che non sembra poi molto diverso da un mix insipido tra Daredevil e l’Uomo Ragno, uno spaccone con la battuta pronta ed uno spiccato spirito di negazione che si trova a… Quasi mi vergogno a dirlo. Cosa c’è di più banale? Occhio di Falco sta diventando cieco. E gli amici che tentano di fargli accettare la cosa. E lui che rifiuta. E i flash-back. E che palle. A corredo del tutto, degli insipidi disegni chiaroscurati a morte, opera di Paco Diaz, cui si alternano nei flash-back nomi come Nick Dragotta e Brad Simpson, Valentine DeLandro, Lee Weeks e Stefano Gaudiano.
L’unica cosa di buono che c’è in questo fumetto è la tesserina plasticata.

The Apothecary Diaries

I discovered The Apothecary Diaries through the anime on Netflix: I generally don’t like them but we’re not getting good animation, I was desperate, and what caught my eye were the beautiful backgrounds in some of the promos. Then I switched to the manga. I
