Once in a while, a writer comes along to a comic book title and then proceeds to make it his own, in the process redefining the principal character and its players, oftentimes elevating the title far beyond the boundaries of the medium. That's what Frank Miller did with and . To a lesser extent, that's what Garth Ennis did with the . It was during his stint with the title published by Marvel's MAX imprint that the definitive characteristics and persona of Frank Castle, aka The Punisher, were realized and it was specifically during his sixty-issue Volume 6 run that the iconic features and mythos of the Punisher were firmly set. When Garth Ennis left after issue #60, and after a veritable carousel of creative teams, Marvel has yet to find that essence that distinguished Garth Ennis and artist Laurence Campbell. Here are all sixty issues, complete, for your enjoyment.

This is the reboot of the Punisher under Marvel's MAX imprint. And since it is under MAX, it is grittier and more hard-edged than the usual, tying Frank Castle's life history to that of Wilson Fisk aka the Kingpin.

This is the reboot of the Punisher under Marvel's MAX imprint. And since it is under MAX, it is grittier, more explicit and more hard-edged than the usual, tying Frank Castle's life history to that of Wilson Fisk aka the Kingpin. Part 2 of the initial story arc, "Kingpin." The granularity and the parallel symmetry between the Punisher's path and Wilson Fisk's rise to power make for a compelling read. Great job by the creative team. Oh, and obviously we all get it that their tracks are not parallel at all and that sooner or later, they'll intersect. MATURE READERS only.

Sam & Max es una franquicia de medios que se centra en los personajes de ficción titulares, los cuales son Policías Independientes. Los personajes, que ocupan un universo que parodia la cultura popular estadounidense, fueron creados por Steve Purcell en su juventud, y luego debutaron en una serie de cómics de 1987. Desde entonces, los personajes han sido protagonistas de un videojuego de aventuras gráficas desarrollado por LucasArts, una serie de televisión producida por Fox en colaboración con Nelvana Limited, y una serie de juegos de aventuras episódicas desarrollados por Telltale Games. Además, una miniserie de cortos de Machinima y un webcomic han sido producidos para la serie.

This is the ongoing reboot of the Punisher under Marvel's MAX imprint, with the first two story arcs complete. And since it is under MAX, it is grittier and more hard-edged than the usual. The first story arc, done straight by series writer Jason Aaron, ties Frank Castle's life history to that of Wilson Fisk, aka the Kingpin. The second story line, however, is looser yet so over-the-top violent and action-oriented as to be caricaturish. Here's to hoping the creative team of Aaron and Dillon would arrive at their own unique formula that's best suited to the MAX imprint.

Se mire por donde se mire, la vida de Max Faraday es bastante aburrida. El único rayo de luz en la monótona existencia del esforzado estudiante y repartidor de pizza a tiempo parcial es su novia Susanna Chaste… y eso que solo la conoce a través de internet. Pero el destino está a punto de cambiarlo todo. Un archivo descargado desde un ordenador hackeado del gobierno ha resultado ser algo más importante de lo que Max o sus irresponsables amigos podrían haber imaginado… y un grupo de personas muy peligrosas está dispuesto a matar para recuperarlo.

Twenty years ago, Sam & Max burst onto the indie comic book scene with a daring venture to the Philippines (drawn entirely without reference) called Monkeys Violating the Heavenly Temple. Today they're the stars of an Eisner-nominated webcomic and a successful episodic game series. Sam & Max creator Steve Purcell and Telltale are celebrating these milestones with the this new edition of the Sam & Max comic book collection, Surfin' the Highway. In addition to all of the content of the 1995 original, the new edition contains 25 pages of content developed over the last two decades, bringing the page count to 197 with 45 pages in full color. The new content includes advertisements for the original Freelance Police comic book, a color version of Fair Wind to Java and recent paintings promoting Telltale's Sam & Max games and the upcoming DVD release of the Sam & Max Freelance Police animated series.

Marc Bruyninx retrace dans 3 albums les aventures de Max, un jeune homme abandonné sans un sou et qui doit se débrouiller pour rentrer chez lui, en Allemagne.

Et le 3ème se passe lors de la dictature de 1936, en Grèce.

Max Ernst, a quien G. C. Argan llama «el más surrealista de los surrealistas», es sin lugar a dudas, por la perseverancia y dominio con que se dedicó al collage, el auténtico maestro de este procedimiento y Una semana de bondad o Los siete elementos capitales puede considerarse como su obra culminante dentro de este género.

Texto en contracubierta: Si Max ha alcanzado pleno reconocimiento internacional como autor de historietas, su no menos importante labor como ilustrador ha pasado, en cambio, parcialmente inadvertida debido posiblemente a su dispersión en territorios geográficos y lingüísticos diversos. Espiasueños recoge por fin una amplia selección, ordenada cronológica y temáticamente, de los mejores trabajos que Max ha desarrollado para multitud de ámbitos: carteles, folletos, ilustraciones para diarios, revistas y libros, portadas de vinilos y CDs, publicidad, obra gráfica seriada, libros infantiles, tarjetas postales, exlibris, logotipos, mascotas…
