Unleash

Unleash is a four issue mini-series written by screen writer Jennifer Van Gessel and El Torres, with artists Javier Fernandez (Nightwing) Gabriel Hernandez Walta ( Uncanny X-Men), Sergio Mora (Army of Darkness), Nacho Tenorio and Sergio Mora.

Already in development as a movie it tells the story of Emmie who, after having been assaulted, wants to change the world by becoming a superhero. Unfortunately her plans are limited, as being a hero takes more than a costume. A strange twist of fate lead her to for an agreement with the most unlikely crime-fighting partner you could imagine, but the opportunity to lay her own brand of justice down on sexual predators.

Amidst problems with her father, her relationship with and ex-gangster Keith and tensions with her masked companion The Machine the saga moves forward until by the final issue she’s close in on the person who previously attacked her only for a dark persona to takes over, and once her attacker’s identity is revealed she is faced with a dilemma that changes everything.​​

​​Sidney Hammer Vs The Wicker Wolf

​​Spanish writer/artist Massacre relates the tale of Sidney Hammer, a scantily-clad, sardonic, grind-house reporter. She may only have wanted a cold beer, but she found herself looking for a missing girl and being hunted by a big bad werewolf! And she’s not even sure if the tabloid she's working for will pay for the investigation of this spooky case.

So if you like that one Amigo have more Sidney Hammer tales for you.

Straitjacket Wagner is confined in an expensive asylum. She murdered her brother when she was a child, and has been jumping from one institution to another, thinking she’s protecting our world against monsters called The Feeders with the help of her deceased brother. Thomas Hayes is her psychiatrist, and he believes she’s totally mad. Apparently she is, but she’s also right!

A trade paperback by El Torres and Guillermo Sanna is available.
