Garcia Márquez fled the ensuing violence to start a career as a journalist and investigative reporter in the Caribbean, a position he would never abandon.Īs the dictatorship’s noose became tighter, he left the country on assignment to Europe, where he was safe. The killing of Colombia’s president Jorge Eliecer Gaitan ended a brief streak of success. Garcia Márquez received his education at a Jesuit university before enrolling in the National University of Bogotá’s law program in 1946. García Márquez’s maternal grandparents abandoned him, leaving him to grow up in a huge, dilapidated home.

Drew karpyshyn darth bane5/20/2023 Serra and Lucia were both deeper than initially appeared and I really liked the edge that came to Serra especially as we learned more about her. There's a few cracks beginning to show in Bane's perfection which is always more interesting to read about, while Zannah has to come to terms with what she needs to do. I had feared in the beginning that it was going to be another re-hash but after the first quarter or so all the threads started coming together towards a pretty climatic end. The novel is relatively evenly split between all of the POV's and the plot moves at a good pace. I think the new characters in this book really made it. Into this mix are thrown two figures from Bane's past and a 'Dark Jedi', not a full blown Sith but a Jedi who's abandoned the Jedi teachings to focus on himself. Bane starts off still obsessed with finding more holocrons while Zannah is starting to look for an apprentice of her own. This book is set another ten years after the first book, with Bane and Zannah still in the same master/apprentice relationship, though splits are beginning to show. It was obvious where the series was going with the Rule of Two and all but it was still well done and threw up a few unexpected developments.

Black Panther, Vol. 1 by Reginald Hudlin5/19/2023 The story is quickly paced, and draws on a number of characters from Marvel’s pantheon (something that remains true for the rest of the book) and shows just why the Black Panther is cool. Ross no longer serves as an ally to T’Challa, T’Chaka’s death at the hands of Klaw is reworked from the original story by Jack Kirby and Stan Lee), this opening arc gets at the heart of Hudlin’s take on the character. The arc was initially part of the Marvel Knights banner and outside of the regular continuity before being retroactively folded in, and so while there are some basic changes (eg, Everett K. 1 opens with the “Who is the Black Panther?” arc that serves as a fantastic introduction to the character and the mythos. The question remains: is it good?īlack Panther by Reginald Hudlin: The Complete Collection Vol. Of course, prominence doesn’t always translate to quality, and this run hasn’t always been held in high regard. While Christopher Priest’s run on Black Panther is often touted as the definitive run on the character, Reginald Hudlin’s take is equally important due to the prominence he brought to Black Panther. ‘Black Panther by Reginald Hudlin: The Complete Collection Vol. The Complete Reginald Hudlin, Vol 1 is kinda dope.
