"All this he saw, for one moment breathless and intense, vivid on the morning sky; and still, as he looked, he lived; and still, as he lived, he wondered."

Potere Supremo #7
(Ultimate Power #7, da Ultimate Power #7 dell’ottobre 2007). Eh vabbé, ormai da dire qui ci sono sempre le stesse cose. Sale al timone Jeph Loeb e non mi aspetto proprio niente di buono, ma almeno in questo numero i personaggi fanno qualcos’altro oltre a picchiarsi e la trama avanza di un filo. L’intero dipanarsi dell’intreccio con Fury che pensa che Destino abbia fatto una cosa che invece non ha fatto laddove invece ne sta facendo un’altra, Reed che pensava di avere fatto una cosa che invece ha fatto un altro ecc. ecc. non è male. Ma è ancora troppo troppo poco. E la chiusura dell’albo non mi lascia presagire nulla di buono. “Avete distrutto il nostro mondo”, di nuovo, e si ricomincia.
E’ vero più che mai che sto comprando questo albo solo per le splendide atmosfere dei disegni del controverso Greg Land. La Scarlet in primo piano nella tavola di apertura, nella sua semplicità è qualcosa di meraviglioso.

Visione #3 (Ultimate Vision #3, da Ultimate Vision #3 dell’aprile 2007). A me francamente questa serie continua a non dire nulla. Un po’ perché continuo a soffrire la mancanza di vera fantascienza nell’universo Marvel, un po’ perché – pur non disdegnando l’argomento in generale – non riesco particolarmente ad apprezzare la versione ultimate di un personaggio solo in virtù delle sue tette. Abbiamo la versione ultimate di Galactus, ed è ridotta pure peggio di quella “standard” (il che, considerato lo stato in cui versa di recente, è tutto dire). Bah.

Spooktober 26 – The Black Monk (1)

Anton Chekhov (1860–1904) was a Russian physician, short-story writer and playwright, and I’m not particularly fond of him, though he’s widely regarded as one of the greatest masters of modern short fiction and who am I to argue? His work is celebrated for its psychological

Beauty and Ugliness: an exhibition

A few pictures from the recently closed exhibition on Beauty and Ugliness as an aesthetic paradigma in which what’s ideal and what’s grotesque melt together as sides of the same coin. The exhibition featured works by Brueghel (lent from the other exhibition at Palazzo Reale),
