En una pequeña isla existe un buzón en el que solo se admiten cartas de amor. Una historia real sobre el poder de la imaginación. Había una vez un hombre de espíritu excéntrico y bohemio que vivía en una pequeña ciudad en la isla de La Palma. Se hacía llamar El Conde de Velhoco, y muchos veneraban su reino imaginario, sus ideas y su manera fascinante de ver la vida. Un día, harto de recibir facturas, el Conde escribió sobre su buzón las palabras "Solo cartas de amor" en señal de protesta por tanta burocracia. Al poco tiempo, ante la sorpresa de los habitantes de la casa, empezaron a llegar decenas de cartas de lugareños y extranjeros relatando sus pasiones y sus penas. De eso hace más de diez años y nunca han dejado de llegar. Una historia tan real como increíble y emocionante sobre un hombre, Ángel Greses, que sabía mirar el mundo con ojos mágicos y consiguió contagiar de su hechizo a los habitantes de una isla, a su familia y a miles de personas que, rebelándose a lo anodino, en contra de lo esperado, decidieron compartir sus emociones más íntimas con un desconocido a través de una pequeña ranura. En estas páginas, Guadalupe Greses hace un maravilloso ejercicio narrativo que es a la vez un homenaje al hombre, al mito que queda tras la muerte y al padre que fue. "El cartero pasaba, sonreía al ver el mensaje si no estaba su mente soterrada por otros menesteres, y, acto seguido, procedía a atiborrarlo de papeles sin remordimiento, cumpliendo con su deber. ¿Qué otra cosa iba a hacer? La única diferencia era que, entre tanta miseria, de vez en cuando -muy de vez en cuando- aparecía una carta de amor anónima como una flor que brota repentina en medio de un vertedero". ENGLISH DESCRIPTION On a small island, there is a mailbox that only accepts love letters. A true story about the power of imagination. Once upon a time, there was an eccentric, bohemian man who lived in a small town on the island of La Palma. He called himself The Count of Velhoco, and many revered his imaginary kingdom, his ideas, and his fascinating way of looking at life. One day, fed up with receiving bills, the Count wrote the words "Love letters only" on his mailbox in protest of so much bureaucracy. Soon after, to the inhabitants' surprise, dozens of letters began to arrive from locals and foreigners retelling their passions and sorrows. That was more than ten years ago, and they have never stopped coming. A story as real as it is incredible and exciting about a man, Ángel Greses, who knew how to look at the world with magical eyes and managed to cast his spell on the inhabitants of an island, his family, and thousands of people who, rebelling against the mundane and against expectations, decided to share their most intimate emotions with a stranger through a small slot. In these pages, Guadalupe Greses performs a wonderful narrative exercise that is at once a tribute to the man, to the myth that remains after death, and also to the father he was. "The postman passed by, smiled when he saw the message, and then proceeded to stuff it with papers without remorse, fulfilling his duty. What else could he do? The only difference was that, amid so much misery, from time to time--very occasionally--an anonymous love letter would appear like a flower suddenly sprouting in the middle of a landfill.Shipping Notes

Batman & Robin: Batman vs Robin
Format: Hardcover
First things first... This book will only make sense to you ONLY if you've been following Grant Morrison's complete run of Batman (including Final Crisis). If you haven't, most likely you won't like it or you'll get half the excitement this baby carries.
I used to think I didn't like Frank Quiely's art, but after the psychedelic style he put on the first volume, I found myself missing him in this particular book.
The art in the first 3 chapters (The Blackest Knight) is terrible. So simple and flat. The writing is good, but the art took whatever excitement for me.
On the other hand, the art on the next chapters is quite better, and together with the story I end up wanting more.
I have to give it to Grant Morrison. If they give him time and creativity control, he can make things happen (although it would be better if Dan Didio wouldn't make him re-write the end of Final Crisis).
There's only 2 things I don't like about all this (besides the art on the first 3 issues): FIRST - I don't understand WHY Dick Grayson have to use electric knuckles every time he fights. SECOND: Seems to be now everybody knows Batman's secret identity.
I liked the book as a whole, and I can't wait to check it all out now that lots of the beans has been spilled.

The reason I started reading Comics again
Format: Hardcover
This is the best comic book series I have read in a very long time. It will go down as a classic in the Batman Mythos. It should be on the top ten list when it comes to Batman tales. I was intrigued by the idea of Dick Grayson assuming the mantle and how he would interact with the new Robin Damien. What is really cool is the reversal of making Batman the light while Robin is the darkness in the partnership. I highly recommend it. This is an awesome set of stories. Read volume One first before you read this volume to see how it all comes together. When its all said it done it will amaze you.

Grant Morrison continues his mastery
Batman and Robin Volume 2 continues the story of Dick as Batman, Damian as Robin, replacing Bruce Wayne in Gotham after the events of Final Crisis (no spoilers here, despite the age). The artwork is clever, everchanging in style, and intricate; I find new details almost every time I re-read, it has such depth. I wrote an absolutely glowing recommendation for Volume 1, and this deserves similar praise, as does Volume 3 and The Return of Bruce Wayne. Highly recommend the entire arc

YOU NEED TO OWN THIS BOOK!!!
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
If you are a fan of Grant Morrison’s Batman, but already own other editions…
or if you have never read this run before…
or if you just love Batman…
YOU NEED TO OWN THIS BOOK!!!
It is the BEST way to read Grant Morrison’s Batman!
This Deluxe sized book is nicely constructed with stitched binding and nice thick pages.
The paper feels a slightly heavier stock and is slightly less glossy, than that of the previous hardcover editions. The color in this new omnibus also seems more vibrant as well.
It has no new bonus content other than an introduction by Mike Marts.
Tony Daniel’s variant covers for Batman #676-#683 are now at the back of the book along with Adam Kubert’s variant cover for Batman #655.
Thankfully this omnibus not only collects all the issues from ‘Batman & Son’, ‘The Black Glove’ and ‘Batman RIP’ but they’ve now finally included an abridged version of issues #30 & #47 from the ’52’ series. The pages included focus on Bruce undergoing the Thögal ritual in the caves of Nanda Parbat. These events are later brought up by Tim Drake to Alfred in Batman #676 ‘Batman RIP’, and explain why Tim was concerned with Bruce’s state of mind.
One of the BEST new inclusions (exclusive to this omnibus) are two brand new pages written and drawn by Chris Burnham. These new pages fill in events for ‘The Resurrection of Ra's Al Ghul’. The new pages are placed just after Batman #670 and another after Batman #671.
This will save you from having to read a drawn out cross-over event, where only two of the issues were actually written by Morrison.
Directly after ‘Batman RIP’ concludes there are two pages of excerpts from ‘Final Crises’ bracketing Batman issues #682 & #683 ‘Final Crisis: Last Rites’. These excerpts set up the events and give actual context as to what’s going on, rather than reading ‘Last Rites’ over and over trying to figure out what was going on like I had to. The second page of ‘Final Crisis’ excepts shows what happened to Batman, that set up the events for ‘Batman & Robin: Batman Reborn’ where…..
(((((SPOILER!!!))))(((((SPOILER!!!))))(((((SPOILER!!!))))(((((SPOILER!!!))))
(((((SPOILER!!!)))) Dick Grayson takes over as Batman. (((((SPOILER!!!))))
(((((SPOILER!!!))))(((((SPOILER!!!))))(((((SPOILER!!!))))(((((SPOILER!!!))))
Sure this “spoiler” is many years old, but you always have to try to think of new readers.
Grant Morrison’s Batman is not only one of my favorite Batman runs, but it’s also one of my ALL-TIME favorite comic runs as well. There are not many comic stories that I can read and re-read cover to cover. I have read this run numerous times, and can safely say that I have read it more than any other story. Sometimes I’ll even start another re-read after I’ve just finished.
One of the many things I love about this run is Morrison’s voice for Batman.
He can be intimidating. He's not someone you would want to mess with, but he's also very cool. He has a likable quality. He has heart.
Personally I feel there are few writers that even come close to capturing Batman and supporting characters as well as he does, especially his voice for Alfred Pennyworth. Morrison's dialog between members of the Bat-family is a pure joy to read. It's fun spending time with them.
I’m absolutely thrilled to add this omnibus to my Grant Morrison collection, and will be eagerly looking forward to the other volumes!
As I’ve saiid before, if you are a Batman fan then you really do need to own this book!
The story continues in
