Desde hace algunas semanas ya es oficial el relevo de la publicación de los cómics de DC en España. No será hasta abril que Panini comience a editar DC y lo tiene aún todo por demostrar, pero queríamos aprovechar para echar la vista atrás de las distintas editoriales que los han precedido. No se trata tanto de hacer un recorrido por los distintos hitos históricos como de hacer un balance de los pros y contras de cada una bajo nuestra experiencia lectora. ECC, Planeta, Norma, Vid, Zinco, Bruguera y unas cuantas más se van a pasar por este programa. La noche es caliente como el infierno. Todo se te pega. Una asquerosa habitación de un asqueroso barrio de una asquerosa ciudad. El aparato de aire acondicionado es un pedazo de chatarra que no podría enfriar ni una bebida aunque la metieras dentro. Parece el sitio perfecto para escuchar el podcast 364 de ELHDLT Selección musical: 🎶 Batman Theme, de The Jam 🎶 Wonder Woman The Animated Movie End Title, Christopher Drake

Check out more information (https://www.sagaftra.org/contracts-industry-resources/contracts/video-game-strike/take-action) on the ongoing SAG-AFTRA video game actor strike and support the actors in any way that you can. Batman video games got a resurgence with 2009's Arkham Asylum, continued to be critically acclaimed with 2011's Arkham City, and then started to become divisive with 2013's Arkham Origins and especially 2015's Arkham Knight. Since Arkham Origins takes place during Christmas, we've chosen to dive into that one. Arkham Origins seems to be the odd one out, the black sheep, when discussing this series, and we don't understand why- if the reason for disliking this game is that it doesn't star Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill...you're going to have to find another reason. This game rules! Listen in to find out why we feel so strongly about that. Guest info: Mick Davis aka Mick Arcade.
