Description
Het leven van Guastavino en Guastavino - Andrés BarbaHet is 1881. Zonder een woord Engels te spreken, maar met veertigduizend dollar op zak, reist de Valenciaanse architect Rafael Guastavino naar New York om zijn speciale techniek van de Catalaanse boog te patenteren. Ondanks dat de architect werkt aan iconische gebouwen als Grand Central Station en Kathedraal Saint John the Devine, moet hij werkelijk alles op alles zetten om niet te mislukken om te bewijzen dat hij niet de zoveelste immigrant is op
Het is 1881. Zonder een woord Engels te spreken, maar met veertigduizend dollar op zak, reist de Valenciaanse architect Rafael Guastavino naar New York om zijn speciale techniek van de Catalaanse boog te patenteren. Ondanks dat de architect werkt aan iconische gebouwen als Grand Central Station en Kathedraal Saint John the Devine, moet hij werkelijk alles op alles zetten om niet te mislukken – om te bewijzen dat hij niet de zoveelste immigrant is op zoek naar de American dream. Guastavino laat vooral zien hoe iemand op volledig willekeurige en onverwachte wijze een nationale held kan worden, want zo wordt deze architect in Spanje nog altijd gezien. In het stilistisch razendknappe Het leven van Guastavino en Guastavino vertelt Andrés Barba niet alleen het opwindende verhaal van een man die tegen alle verwachtingen een nationaal icoon wordt, maar hij beschrijft ook de levensloop van diens zoon en hij gaat, met hulp van zijn ironische verteller, op zoek naar de mogelijkheden en tekortkomingen van de biografie als genre.

Supercorp
Format: Kindle
If you are reading the description on Amazon, don't worry, it includes the Annual. Not sure why they decided to not mention that detail.
You should read Action Comics 1050 before reading this, as it sets up the new status quo for Superman going forward, and is important to know in this book if you're coming from earlier Superman stories.
This is pretty interesting stuff so far, a lot of familiar Superman villains are appearing with new twists provided by new players in Metropolis, who seem to have a vendetta against Lex Luthor, or so Lex is claiming. Looking forward to seeing how this plays out in future volumes.

Fun new status quo
Format: Kindle
This presents a fun New status quo for Superman, as is the norm for a Superman book there's a great supporting cast of characters led by Lois.
Excited to dive into the rest of the series and learn more about the secret history of metropolis that they're seeding here.

Really really good.

The art was super good! The story was good as well. It's always nice to see Superman's villains all come together in one book. Some new players as well. I am excited for this series and I am hooked on the story. Do yourself a favor and read it!

I haven't read Superman in awhile but overall tus was a great place to jump back in.
The story is accessible without ignoring continuity. The artwork is very nice and the story moves at a fast oace.
