Superheroes are not (quite) tired

Head major work of comics. Like Canada dry, it's not quite despite appearances a classic story of superheroes. It's much more than that, this is a literary and graphic work where floods and flashy colors serve only to deceive the enemy. A work incredibly rich, with a concrete and a unique atmosphere scenario, to be savored and reread ad vitam eternam, every detail is important to every secondary character is not so high as that, each plan or back -plan, every detail tells us something.

In this story, the "heroes" are somewhat on the back (yes, they have the guts!) And not as one might think the incarnation supposed good fight against evil, they have their doubts and weaknesses, and are not actually choirboys. The boundaries between "good" and "bad" are blurred, Bush would lose her talking Texan if he were to win this reading. Yes, it is not so easy to want to "save the world" in our time (it is indeed of our time!) So cynical and governed by the death instinct. Designed before the fall of the Berlin Wall, at a time when people were still talking of Cold War, "The Guardians" have retained their news, because if the balance of terror is over, one realizes that today's world is filled with uncertainties, immersed in a political, economic and ecological chaos which no one knows the outcome (or does not want to know ...).

It should read Watchmen and hoisted high into the library. Before the database was transposed to the cinema, I had some fears, and I was rather relieved that the director had not betrayed the spirit of this pure diamond.
