Visto en Previews: Varios – Feb 2009

Esta es la inclusión honorífica del mes basada exclusivamente en los méritos de la portada. Pero revisen más adelante la portada alterna, dibujada por el artista del interior del comic. Los podrían acusar de mercadeo engañoso.

Por cierto, la primera portada tiene arte de Sejic.

Nunca he leído este paquín. A decir verdad, ni sabía que existía. Pero en este número sale el Chupacabras (goatsucker, para los angloparlantes)!!! Y con una portada así, tiene que ser un comic de miedo.

Esta recopilación de lo que entiendo es arte conceptual de los juegos de final fantasy se oye excelente. Estos libros de arte generalmente no me llaman la atención, pero este si da tentación. El precio no está tan alto, pero lástima que no menciona de cuántas páginas es.

Dawn: Worlds of Final Fantasy HC
(Dark Horse)
There is only one Final Fantasy. Through more than a dozen wildly diverse adventures, from the release of the first game in 1987 to the most recent expansion on the story, the international influence of the game is legendary both inside the video-game industry and throughout popular culture. It is a tale of bold heroes and heroines, breathtaking landscapes and terrifying creatures. Through Final Fantasy, Luneth, Refia, Rosa Farrell, Cecil Harvey, and many others have become household names to millions of players across the globe. With two feature films, a host of action figures and apparel, posters, soundtracks, and more, the vast landscape defined by the Final Fantasy storylines began with the games. For the first six games those worlds grew from the remarkable vision of one man: Yoshitaka Amano. Now, for the first time outside Japan, Amano and Square Enix, Inc., have permitted the artwork that inspired the designs of the Final Fantasy games to be published. In Dawn you will see the development of the first four games through Amano’s paintings, detailed line art, and preliminary sketches. Plus, in a special afterword, you’ll learn the genesis of this history-making collaboration.
