How the long and controversial end of ECC Comics has been forged

by

Even if it is for a short period of time, DC Comics is left without a home in Spain. The publisher that was in charge of it, the Catalan ECC Editionsis declared bankrupt and the judge in charge has launched its liquidation and dissolution, as reflected in the Public Bankruptcy Registry this past Saturday. It is nothing more than the official confirmation of a rumor that has plagued networks and fan forums for months: that ECC was about to lose the publishing rights to Batman and Superman. DC, an abrupt history of editions in Spain. Contrary to what one might think, DC has had a rather bumpy time in our country: Novaro, Bruguera, Zinco, VID, Norma, Planeta have been responsible for publishing its catalog and for just over fourteen years now, ECC . And its arrival to the rights of the North American publisher was not exactly easy: the ADLO blog remembers it! diving into the newspaper libraryand remembering that ECC obtained the rights in a struggle with Planeta (owner of the rights since 2005) that is still full of chiaroscuros. The comic packaging machine. ECC did a job as a packager (in English, packaginga services company that manages translation, layout and even distribution tasks) for Planeta. The transfer of powers, the loss of the rights by a seemingly untouchable giant like Planeta in favor of a fledgling publisher is a strange move, and the official version of ECC is that they got the rights straight from DC. The truth is that, doing all the work of packaging for Planeta when it was outsourced, it had gained considerable experience. However, bad press came to ECC when, after six years as DC’s editor, she decided to launch a minor classic of the house, the ‘Kamandi’ by Jack Kirby via crowdfunding. Of the crowdfunding to heaven The decision, because it was unusual, was highly controversial: not only is it not usual for an established publisher, but it is much less so if it is about launching a comic of one of the majors of superheroes. It was especially controversial among booksellers, since in a crowdfunding which finances and ships directly to readers, the product bypasses intermediaries. The decision to launch more and more crowdfunding (and no less classics, like ‘New Titans’ or ‘Batman and the Outsiders’) and open your own stores continued to raise suspicions. The beginning of the end. In 2020, Panini (Marvel publisher in Spain) acquired the rights in Italy to publish DCwhere Marvel also edited. It was the beginning of four long years of rumors in which in Spain it was said with increasing force that ECC would end up losing the rights to DC. Rumors that have been accentuated as the delays accumulated and the unrest with the stores took shape in a much more tangible way: the Madrid-based Akira Comics, one of the most important specialized stores in Spain, detailed in a tweet “SERIOUS accounting disagreements” with the publisher, with a number of concerns shared by the Madrid Booksellers’ Guild. The authors cry too. While the relationship with fans it was becoming more and more tensealso began to be so with the creators: the cartoonist and screenwriter Bruno Redondo published a thread on Twitternow deleted, about the Spanish edition of his ‘Harley Quinn: Black + White + Redder’, protesting the “disastrous” translation and labeling of the comic. The responsibility, according to Redondo, lies with a tool that uses generative AI, which undoubtedly added fuel to the fire, generating a new controversy from which ECC had to defend itself. in a statement. If these complaints reached DC’s ears and could have precipitated the publisher’s fall, it is something that belongs, again, to the rumor mill, but what is true and verifiable is that since the summer, the publisher’s delays and series that are left hanging They are counted in tens. Who gets DC. Once again, rumors abound about the purchase, not officially confirmed by Panini, but which go far beyond “if the river sounds…” (for starters, the publisher itself tweeting that “as soon as possible, we will share official information with you”, without specifying whatbut at a time when rumors were a clamor). Contacts familiar with the case and close to the publisher confirm that Panini is carrying out personnel movements with the idea of ​​creating a department for the DC edition, and that the intention is to leave before the summer, although for now, in the communication of news From the publisher for April DC Comics does not appear yet. Added to the clues that Panini herself is advancing online is the indisputable fact of her experience editing Marvel, and that she already publishes DC in Italy and France. The other possible candidate to publish DC, Planeta, has already announced that it will imminently publish the other important license that ECC had, Skybound (‘The Walking Dead’, ‘Invencible’). All clues point to Panini. Header | DC Comics In Xataka | We have analyzed the scores of Marvel and DC movies to solve the dilemma: which franchise do you like more?

How its mining potential makes it a key pawn in the EU in front of China

by

Surely if you hear about lithium, cobalt, nickel, copper, graphite or rare earth you know that they are currently the minerals and metals that dominate the market for their use in current technologies. In fact, here we have talked about all of them and, above all, of the dependence we have about China. But all that can change, because Spain has a treasure in its feet. A gold mine. Eye, what too, but It is not open yet. The point is that in the Spanish subsoil There are great critical mineral reservations Essential for the energy and digital transition, especially for the manufacture of batteries, solar panels, wind turbines and other resources. In this way, the role of Europe and Spain is redefined in the production of these minerals and a strategic autonomy in the European Union is ensured. In data. To be able to better understand how much we are talking, let’s go with The data. 17% of copper extracted in the EU comes from Spain, as well as 12% of zinc and 6% of lead. In addition, the Iberian country is the first European producer of fluoride and plaster, and the only one in Sepiolita and Celestina. As for Magnesita, the country contributes 24% of EU production, standing only behind Austria and Slovakia. In the case of Potassa, Spain generates 12% of the total European, complementing 88% produced by Germany. Mining in Spain. The mining tradition in the Iberian Peninsula comes from many years, we would have to go back to Roman empire. However, here we are going to talk about Spain and the mines, and of a more recent period of time, where mining has been in decline due to the outsourcing of the activity, but now it has resurfaced again. In addition, the Spanish nation has been reinforcing its mining industry with investments in the aforementioned minerals. As well as through regulatory measures such as National Energy and Climate Plan (PNIEC) and the Roadmap for sustainable management of mineral raw materials. The ‘golden’ province. If there is a province where metal mining is most concentrated, winning the title of “El Dorado” is undoubtedly Andalusia. The Autonomous Community It concentrates 90% of the value of national production In this sector. In recent years, mining companies have seen in the more than 257,000 hectares, an area to begin exploring and exploiting the mineral resources of the region. For years the research permits had been inactive, but the Junta de Andalucía has now facilitated its reactivation causing the south of the nation to be attractive again in a global context where metals are increasingly demanded. However, this activity raises questions about the balance between industrial development and the preservation of the environment, especially in sensitive areas such as Doñana National Park. In a more global context. The European Commission has identified more than thirty critical raw materials, of which 17 are strategic for the energy transition, due to its cost and the high risk involved in its interruption. Currently, much of these matters They are concentrated in countries like Chinathat controls 90% of the rare earth, and the Congo, main cobalt supplier. According to the report Mining for Climate: Decarbonisation Roadmap and Energy Outlook From Euromines, the European Union must intensify its efforts to achieve climatic objectives and guarantee its strategic autonomy, reducing the dependence of powers such as China and the United States in access to these critical resources. Other mining methods. The rise of mining has strengthened the economy and generated jobs. However, we know the environmental challenges that also pose this type of extractivist practices, such as soil degradation, Water consumption and the loss of biodiversity. For these reasons, there are other methods to obtain the necessary resources to develop current technologies, such as recycling batteries, Solar panels and Other electronic devices. Forecasts In this geopolitical board in which mineral resources has become, Spain is positioned as a key pawn for the EU in need of reducing dependence with China. However, it remains to be seen how its mining strategy raises to supply the European market, but always taking into account the care for the land.

Say goodbye to dark circles with this routine recommended by an expert

by

Taking a look at all the questions I have received in the office during these weeks, I have been struck by how much the topic of baggy eyes. There are many factors that influence and that are not in your control, such as genetic predisposition, which plays a very important role, but you should know that there are other factors that yes they depend on you if you want to say goodbye to dark circles. “Some people have dark circles under their eyes simply because they have inherited thinner skin under the eyes or more pigment in that area,” Gema Cabañero, founder and director of the Gema Cabañero Advanced Aesthetics and Antiaging Clinic, tells me. But lifestyle is also an essential factor in understanding why some people have dark circles and others don’t. © livmanni “Factors such as smoking, ingesting excessive amounts of alcohol and having a diet high in salt and deficient, in which essential nutrients are missingcan worsen the health of the skin and make dark circles more visible. Another cause that causes some people to be more predisposed to having dark circles than others is rest. “People who do not have correct sleep hygiene are much more likely to trigger an inflammatory response in the body that can cause different skin conditions that go beyond dark circles. In addition, sleep promotes the balance of hydration in the skin and repairing the skin barrier,” adds Cabañero, who is also director of R&D&I at the nutricosmetic firm 180 The Concept. If what you want is to prevent its appearance, the expert recommends that, in addition to avoiding alcohol and tobacco, be careful, especially with the sun. “We should not expose our face for prolonged periods of time without proper protection.. “This will cause excessive production of melanin which can lead to hyperpigmentation in this area.” © valentinaferragni To know the causes of dark circles and how to treat them, the expert differentiates four types that can be classified into: Dark circles due to genetics: They are hereditary and appear from an early age. They usually have a brownish tone and tend to be difficult to treat, however, they can improve their appearance with the correct aesthetic treatments. Dark circles due to lack of sleep: Lack of sleep causes a variation in blood circulation around the eyes, causing blood vessels to dilate and become visible under the skin, causing bluish dark circles. Don’t forget that sleeping well has a profound impact on your general well-being: during sleep the body enters a process of cellular repair and regeneration and this phase is essential so that aging is not accelerated. In addition, sleep also plays a crucial role in hormonal balance, closely related to skin health. Therefore, sleeping well is one of the simplest and most effective ways to take care of your beauty from the inside out. Dark circles due to aging: The loss of collagen and elastin can contribute to the skin in this area losing elasticity and firmness. As a result, the skin becomes thinner and thinner, contributing to the formation of dark circles under the eyes that often appear next to bags. Pigmented dark circles: This type of dark circles, characterized by being brown in color and contrasting with the rest of the skin tone, are motivated, above all, by excessive and prolonged sun exposure for years, which results in an overproduction of melanin by the body. © chloelecareux Taking advantage of the fact that I have had the opportunity to speak with Gema Cabañero, I have asked her what routines we can do at home and there is one that is very easy and simple: drink at least two liters of water a day. “It is essential to stay well hydrated and, in this way, prevent the skin from looking dry and dull. In addition, I also recommend using a facial mask once a week. eye contour focused on solving the condition that worries us most. If we want hydrating and soothing results, we will look for hyaluronic acid or aloe vera among the ingredients. If we want to give the area extra luminosity, it will be important to integrate Vitamin C or retinol.” And if you have had a bad night, a good way to hide dark circles quickly can be through the use of the well-known gel patches. “It is important that they integrate hyaluronic acid, collagen or caffeine into their formula to increase their moisturizing and decongestant power.” 1) ‘Eye and Lip Contour – Nuxuriance Ultra’, NUXE / 2) ‘The Rich Eye Cream’, Augustinus Bader / 3) ‘Icelandic Essence – Eye Serum’, LICO / 4) ‘Renewing Mask – Eye Contour Area’, Nescens / 5) ‘Wake-up serum roll-on’, Biovène Barcelona To keep this area of ​​the face healthy, it is essential that you include a specific cosmetic for the eye contour in your daily routine. Now there are two launches that I recommend: NUXE and Augustinus Bader, who have released two great products so you can start the year with a perfect look. I love them for their texture, they absorb very quickly and leave the skin nourished and firm, in addition to reducing expression lines in record time. I also want to try LICO’s ‘Icelandic Essence’ eye contour and I have signed up for the new Nescens mask, which works as an intensive treatment to treat and correct dark circles, wrinkles and bags. It contains hyaluronic acid, peptides and powerful antioxidants, as well as caffeine, which is an active ingredient that acts as a vasoconstrictor, meaning it narrows blood vessels, reducing the appearance of dark circles and bags under the eyes. Another caffeinated option is the Biovène Barcelona roll-on, designed for tired, dull skin prone to dark circles and puffiness. You can also use eye contour products that include Vitamin C: an antioxidant that helps brighten the skin and reduce pigmentation; hyaluronic acid: a powerful moisturizer that helps retain water in the skin, making it look smoother and less fatigued; and retinol: for … Read more

The small city that Mexico is raising to receive the thousands of deportees waiting from the US.

by

Image source, Reuters Article information Author, Will Grant Author’s title, BBC News, correspondent in Mexico January 27, 2025, 13:44 GMT Updated 1 hour In the shadow of a huge crucifix, the workers and construction workers of Ciudad Juárez, a Mexican border city, are building a small city. A city of tents. In the old fairgrounds, under an altar built for a Mass of Pope Francis in 2016, the Mexican government prepares for the thousands of deportees who expect to arrive from the United States in the coming weeks. Ciudad Juárez is one of the eight border towns along the 3,000 kilometers of border in which the country is preparing for the expected expulsion wave. Men with boots and baseball caps rise to the top of a vast metal structure to cover it with a thick white canvas, raising a rudimentary shelter to temporarily house men and women exactly the same the same. It is likely that eventual workers, domestic employees, cooking personnel and agricultural pawns are soon among those sent to the south, once the President Donald Trump calls “the greatest deportation in the history of the United States. “ Image source, Getty images Photo foot, In Ciudad Juárez, Mexican authorities are building a huge center to house deportees. Not only roof and food In addition to nature protection, deportees will receive food, medical care and help to obtain Mexican identity documents, within the framework of a deporteed support program that the administration of President Claudia Sheinbaum calls “Mexico hugs you”. “Mexico will do everything you need to attend to its compatriots and allocate what is necessary to receive those who are repatriated,” said the Mexican Secretary of the Interior, Rosa Icela Rodríguez, the day of Trump’s possession. For her part, President Sheinbaum has stressed that her government will first meet the humanitarian needs of those who return, stating that they will be able to benefit from the social programs and pensions of her government, and that they can work immediately. He urged Mexicans to “keep calm and cold head” about relations with President Trump and his administration, from deportations to the threat of tariffs. “With Mexico, I think we are doing very well,” said President Trump in a video speech against Davos’s World Economic Forum last week. President Sheinbaum has said that the key is in the dialogue and keeping communication channels open. However, it recognizes the potential tension that the Emergency Declaration on the US border by President Trump could assume for Mexico. It is estimated that 5 million undocumented Mexicans currently live in the US and the perspective of a massive return could quickly saturate and overflow border cities such as Juarez and Tijuana. Image source, Getty images Photo foot, Mexico is ready to receive the thousands of deportees that Trump expects to expel from the US in the coming weeks. A difficult task It is an issue that worries José María García Lara, director of the Hostel for Immigrants Juventud 2000 of Tijuana. While teaching me the facilities, which are almost at the limit of their capacity, ensures that there are very few places where you can host more families. “If necessary, perhaps we can put some people in the kitchen or in the library,” he explains. But he admits that there will come a time when there is no longer space, and donations of food, medical material, blankets and hygiene products do not supply. “We are being beaten on two fronts. First, the arrival of Mexicans and other migrants fleeing violence,” says Garcia. “But we will also have the mass deportations. We do not know how many people will cross the border needing our help. Together, these two things could create a big problem,” he warns. In addition, another key part of Trump’s executive orders includes a policy called “staying in Mexico”, under which immigrants waiting for dates to make their asylum cases in an Imigration Court of the United States would have to remain in Mexico before those appointments. Image source, Getty images Photo foot, Mexico has also reinforced security on its side of the border to try to stop illegal crosses. When “staying in Mexico” was previously in force, during Trump’s first term and under the presidency of Andrés Manuel López Obrador in Mexico, Mexican border cities fought to get ahead. Human rights groups also repeatedly denounced the risks to which migrants were exposed when they were forced to wait in dangerous cities where crime related to drug cartels abounds. This time, Sheinbaum has made it clear that Mexico does not agree with the plan and will not accept any US non -Mexican asylum seeker while waiting for her audiences. It is clear that “staying in Mexico” only works if Mexico is willing to fulfill it. Until now, it has drawn a line. President Trump has deployed about 2,500 soldiers on the southern border of the US, which will be responsible for carrying out part of the logistics of his offensive. In Tijuana, meanwhile, Mexican soldiers help prepare for consequences. The authorities have prepared an event center called flamingos with 1,800 beds for the returnees, with troops that bring supplies, install a kitchen and showers. Image source, Getty images Photo foot, In his early days in the White House, Trump has issued a series of orders that seek to launch the largest deportation of undocumented history. While President Trump signed executive orders last Monday, a minibus crossed the doors of the Chaparral border crossing, between San Diego and Tijuana, transporting a handful of deportees. A few journalists had gathered to try to speak with the first deportees of the Trump era. However, it was a routine deportation, which probably had been preparing for weeks and had nothing to do with the documents Trump was signing before a crowd cooling in Washington DC However, symbolically, while the minibus passed at full speed ahead of the media waiting before a refuge managed by the Government, these will be the first of many. Mexico will … Read more

Terence Crawford’s team rules out rehydration clause against Canelo

by

Brian ‘BoMac’ McIntyre, trainer of undisputed 147-pound champion Terence Crawford, He assured that they do not plan to request the rehydration clause in case of reaching an agreement to fight against the three-division super middleweight champion (168 pounds) Saúl ‘Canelo’ Álvarez. These statements were made during an interview offered for The Ring, where the trainer assured that he is not worried about Crawford gaining up to 154 pounds to be able to face the man from Guadalajara after his team announced that the fight is practically a fact and will take place. on September 13 as part of the celebration of the Independence of Mexico. “We don’t give a damn about that. You can only go up to a certain point, and if you go over that’s your problem.” expressed Terence’s coach in his statements. “The first thing that came out of his mouth was that he wants the fight. If Terence doesn’t have a problem with that, neither do I.” BoMac added regarding the possibility of having a rehydration clause for this fight that would mark the American’s formal retirement from the ring. Finally, Brian McIntyre made a strong criticism against this rehydration clause and against all the boxers who usually use it by claiming that they face fighters much bigger and stronger than them; He maintained that it is an excuse to take a break and thus not end up being surpassed. “That’s bullshit, it’s weak. When they say you can’t gain more than that much weight. No, man, fuck that. This is boxing. I have the skills, you step on the scale, you weigh in, and it doesn’t matter how much I come back later. You accepted the fight, so let’s enter the ring and fight like men, it’s that simple,” the coach stated.

Without aid, Spain disconnects from the electric car. 2024 promises have been broken and the roadmap is uncertain

by

The electric car in Spain was not doing as well as expected. In 2024, the sale of this type of car will barely grew by 4.21% to reach 65,478 electric cars. But, despite this increase, the share of electric cars has fallen slightly to 5.36%, below the 5.56% in 2023. If we take a look at the ACEA datathe figure is in the lower part of the European market. It is comparable to Italy, where the electric car has not taken off either and remained at 4.2%. But it is very far from France, which is close to 17%, from Portugal, which is also close to 20% or from the Nordic countries, where Sweden is at 35%, Denmark at 51.5% and Norway has already almost reached the threshold. all cars sold in 2024. To understand the idiosyncrasies of each country, we must take into account the characteristics that revolve around the electric car. However, there is something that does not fail: where aid has been simple and stable over time, the electric car has finally taken off. Where they have retreated, the electric car has retreated. What is the plan for Spain? Aid for electric cars in Spain seems to be an eternal problem to be solved. The last stone in the road has arrived with the last extension of the MOVES III Plan. To understand what happened you have to look back. In the last days of 2024, the Government approves a new extension of the MOVES III Plan. For the next 20 days, the project works without surprises but a vote of one omnibus decree that contemplates these aids (and others of great significance such as the revaluation of pensions or transport aid) does not move forward. Without the approval of the Congress of Deputies, everything falls and, with it, the aid from the MOVES III Plan. Since then, the political climate seems to have forgotten about aid for car purchases. There is talk of presenting, again, the same omnibus decree without changes or of vote separately some issues but little or nothing has been said about whether renewing the MOVES III Plan is one of the priorities. It is the finishing touch to an aid project that It has been in the eye of the hurricane for a long time because it is considered cumbersome, not very agile and, above all, ineffective. The theory is good (help from up to 7,000 euros in the purchase of an electric car and a mandatory discount from the dealer of at least another 1,000 euros) but its application discourages future buyers. Each extension of the MOVES III Plan in recent years has come marked by enormous uncertainty. At the end of last December, the Government had not approved a renewal which, ultimately, has been ineffective. But the way of acting was repeated in previous extensions. However, the real problem is how aid is managed. The State has funds that are delivered to the autonomous communities. Regional organizations apply, how each one decidesthe procedure for submitting applications and delivering aid. In some cases, for example, the procedure can be carried out through the dealer and in others only the future buyer can do it. This led to a disagreement between administrations that left undelivered aid for three years and 250 million euros approved to buyers for whom there were no funds. It was July 2024. Months before, The Government had already committed to changing the MOVES III Plan and proposed aid that would be discounted at the time of purchase. The solution that the manufacturers have found is to advance the MOVES III Plan with an interest-free credit for the value of the aid that will be received and that must be returned in a marked period that usually goes up to 18 months. At that time, the buyer should have received the money and would return the credit to the manufacturer. However, a year after those promises, purchase aid had not been changed in Spain. And, what is worse, this aid has fallen and there is no plan on the table to approve it with a closed calendar. Without aid, there is no electric car The worst thing for Spain is that the data tells us that, without aid, there is no electric car. Even the countries where the most electric cars are purchased (percentage or volume) such as Norway and China have built strong sales of this type of technology with multiple and constant purchasing aids. They are not the only ones. How ACEA collectsPortugal does not apply taxes to the purchase of electric cars and reduces them by 75% if they are plug-in hybrids. It also does not apply taxes to vehicle ownership (such as the Spanish road tax) and has tax reductions for companies. In addition, it provides 3,000 euros of aid for the purchase of electric vehicles for cars up to 62,500 euros. In Sweden and Denmark there is no direct purchase aid with discounts but the acquisition of electric cars or their maintenance are kept tax-free (or with significant discounts). France, where electric cars have fallen slightly but nearly two out of every 10 vehicles sold are electric, also provides purchase aid similar to that in Spain. Spain has grown in electric cars sold in 2024 but its market share has decreased slightly Italy, with worse sales figures than Spain, provides aid for larger purchases but for cars priced below 35,000 euros (10,000 euros less than in Spain) so the eligible cars are smaller in number and attractiveness. In addition, it has greater discounts but the car cannot exceed 30,000 euros, which greatly limits the application of this aid. But where it has become clear that the car needs help is in Germany. There we have lived the first year without subsidies for electric cars. The reason, as in Spain, was not a consequence of turning one’s back on technology. It was based on a mere bureaucratic and formal issue, overturning aid to justice. … Read more
