Ultimates #40

Sesso, bugie e dvd #4 (Sex, Lies and Dvd #4, da Ultimates 3 #4 dell’agosto 2008). Esistono al mondo dei misteri inesplicabili. Misteri che tutti gli studiosi, i filosofi, gli alchimisti, gli psicologi e gli analisti del mondo non riuscirebbero a risolvere. Uno di questi misteri è Jeph Loeb. Perché a quest’uomo vengono affidate testate e serie importanti? Perché gli viene consentito di scrivere? Un motivo, da qualche parte, deve pur esserci. Eppure giuro che a leggere la sua roba proprio non ne traspare nemmeno un’ombra. Questo ennesimo episodio di Ultimates è la fiera dell’inutilità, nonché probabilmente l’ultima volta che compro l’albo. Denaro buttato. Al confronto, persino Ultimate Human di Ellis con Hulk si lascia quasi leggere.

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),
