The third deluxe volume of Lethal Class published by Norma Editorial brings important innovations to the series, keeping its very high level of quality intact.
More than three years have passed since then Editorial standard had the pleasure of publishing the second deluxe volume of Lethal classand many thought that perhaps the series had not been very successful and the next volume would not see the light. But to the relief of many, this came with the usual gallons of blood, sweat and bad humor under the heading of Lethal Class 3 – Teenage riot.
Too old to continue attending classes
As happened in the saga of Harry PotterThere comes a time in stories set in a student environment where the routine dynamics of classes, exams, and living together end up giving way to larger plots that eclipse the foundations on which they are based. At this point in the series, the main protagonists of this series have reached such greatness that each of them functions perfectly separately, without depending on a common context in order to be developed.
After the spectacular cliffhanger with which the previous episode left us, here we immerse ourselves in an orgy of blood and ultraviolence from the first page. Over the course of this volume we will have several focuses on which to focus our attention. On the one hand we have Kenji and his army of ninjas who function as expendable cannon fodder and look like something out of a comic book. Frank Miller. I amKenji’s sister, is the target, but the students of King’s dominion led by Mark Yes Mary (recently returned from the grave) will be the support you need.
And after a start that couldn’t be wilder, on the horizon of these kids the only thing they see is an end of the path where they know that anyone can fail… in a world where “failing” means not making it. get out alive.
Underground rescue
In this third volume I compile the screenwriter Rick Remeder he doesn’t give up when it comes to continuing to reflect on the ideas, hopes, disillusionment and way of understanding the world of a group of young misfits who grow up without adapting in a heartless State and with an unparalleled capitalist hunger. Young people who, despite their age and their most visceral instincts, are capable of seeing the world through a prism of adulthood and stoicism that continues to reflect the voice of the author himself.
His greatest triumph here is his ability to not make us forget, despite how wild the plot sometimes gets, that we are dealing with an extremely profound story that is still an x-ray of an entire generation. And this is why we are faced with the best work of his career.
And what about the work of Wes Craig Yes Jordan Boydall praise remains small. The minimalist and schematic cartoons in which Craig strives to smooth out all the rough edges to leave in them only what is necessary to convey the relevant information (not to mention his magnificent narrative technique) are excellently well complemented by the use of a palette of Boyd. flat colors that give it an impressive visual appearance.
