A very cosmopolitan comic, but it may feel familiar to you
One of the most captivating stories is Superman in Granada where the man of steel will visit the famous Alhambra. Trapped by his own helplessness, Superman chooses to disguise himself as an ordinary human to explore the rich culture of Granada. This tale promises to be a visual ode to this splendid Andalusian city, with vibrant colors by Alejandro Sánchez. Jiménez, a native of the Granada province, brings his artistic talent to this emotional narrative.
In addition to the story in Granada, the comic includes internationally varied tales. Superman: The Left of the Hummingbird, for example, features the hero facing Aztec gods in Mexico, while The Last Seed of Krypton by Mauro Mantella and Agustín Alessio will take him to Argentina, where he must deal with an ancient threat that jeopardizes his very essence and biology.
The release of Superman: The World is Very Timely, as it comes just two weeks before the debut of the new Superman movie, directed by James Gunn and starring David Corenswet, which will be released on July 11. With both events on the horizon, fans of the hero have plenty of reasons to celebrate and rediscover the richness of his story and legacy.
