Astisendo Grupo Editorial El Heroe Tomo 02 Comic Golden . David Rubín´s "The Hero Vol. 2" brings a dark, personal vision to the superhero genre, concluding his ambitious four-year project. This installment sees Hercules´s seemingly peaceful life shattered by Hera´s cruel deception, leading him to tragically kill his family. Driven mad, he retreats to a desolate mountain. Rubín revitalizes the myth, aiming to recapture the "sense of wonder" found in classic comics, offering a fresh, modern perspective on superheroes. The return of Hercules David Rubín culminates with The Hero 2 the series that has taken him almost four years of his creative work, and that, in the words of Craig Thompson, gives a new breath to comics as a medium A darker Hercules is the protagonist of The Hero 2, the second volume that closes this great work by David Rubín, a continuation of The Hero 1 (Astiberri, 2011) and the conclusion of a creative project that has taken him almost four years of work and 550 pages of comics ahead in which it stands as his most personal and ambitious work, and which is currently also being published in countries such as France and Italy.As a starting point, Hercules and Megara fall in love, get married, start a family and a home, it seems that tranquility and peace have settled in the protagonist´s life.But the goddess Hera, always determined to destroy Hercules, by means of a spell makes the hero believe, while he is sleeping, that his home and family are being attacked by monsters, Hercules fights against them and kills them.Once defeated, the spell dissipates and he discovers with horror that under Her´s deception he has killed his wife and children, believing them to be beasts.This drives the hero mad, who collapses and finally decides to retire to the top of a lost mountain, to atone for his guilt in solitude.David Rubín´s primary reason for recreating a myth like that of Hercules is none other than to give his vision of the world of superheroes:I´ve always liked them, I learned to read with them, but for years now, with few exceptions, they´ve bored me to death, and I think it was time for someone to try to recapture that sense of wonder that I think is being lost in today´s superhero comics, says the Galician author.Rubín assures that he was moved by the desire to recover that ´sense of wonder´ that flooded the comics that I like the most in this genre - those of Jack Kirby, Jim Steranko, John Romita, Gil Kane. - but at the same time avoiding at all costs doing an exercise in nostalgia. tradeinn Techinn
