Ya habíamos hablado aquí de los autorretratos que se hacen los astronautas, que desde luego molan mucho, antes de que se empezara a poner de moda lo de los selfies, aunque ya puestos Buzz Aldrin reclamaba recientemente la autoría del primer selfie espacial.
Según dijo vía Twitter es este, que tomó durante la misión Gemini 12.
Sea o no el primero, no está nada mal.
We just had our first thundering look at Batman v. Superman, and it really did give the feeling of a confrontation between demigods. Plus we saw our first look at Wonder Woman's costume! And we saw the Trinity, Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman, on stage together.
Poco después ve acercarse las luces de unos coches, pero cuando se dirige hacia ellos se encuentra con que empiezan a dispararle, y sólo gracias a la intervención de Karen salva la vida.
Será ella quien le explique que ha llegado a la Ciudad, una ciudad llena de náufragos, como se denominan ellos mismos, provenientes de distintos mundos, en la que las leyes de la realidad no se aplican y donde te puedes encontrar todo tipo de trampas que pueden costarte la vida a la mínima.
A lo largo de doce capítulos autoconcluyentes pero que a su vez forman parte de un arco argumental global Berreiro y Giménez hacen todo un alarde de imaginación metiendo además en sus historias montones de referencias al cine, la literatura, e incluso a otros cómics, incluyendo una aparición de El Eternauta; algunos de ellos no tienen más allá que su valor como entretenimiento, otros tienen un marcado carácter crítico.
Algunos personajes invitados de Ciudad
En todos los años que llevo leyendo cómics hay, por supuesto, muchos a los que nunca he vuelto, pero Ciudad es uno de los que ha vuelto a disfrutar una y otra vez, así que si puedes hacerte con él –yo tengo una edición de Toutain, que quebró hace años– no lo dudes, merece mucho la pena.

Whether you're looking for a no-nonsense text input system or are looking for something to do transformations to big chunks of text-based data, a text editor fits the bill like nothing else. Bare Bones Software makes a terrific one called TextWrangler that ought to be a part of every discriminating Mac user's app arsenal. What's more, it's absolutely free.
Text editors serve important roles that word processors do not. While Pages, Microsoft Word and others may make your text look pretty and give you powerful layout tools besides, text editors specialize in actually doing things with text.
You can certainly create and edit readable documents with text editors, but that only scratches the surface. Text editors are indispensable tools for programmers who need to write source code and want to be able to highlight the code syntax to easily see what they're doing. System administrators depend on them to manage and edit system logs and configuration files and scripts. Anyone can use them to find and replace text, add editing and formatting, filter.
To that end, TextWrangler is chock full of useful features. It can read any file that contains plain text. It sports pattern-based search and replace — so you can look for a specific word, phrase or block of text, or you can use tokens and modifiers to find near matches to what you're looking for.
TextWrangler's search functionality is based on Perl Compatible Regular Expressions (PCRE), a common library for search functionality. So if you're familiar with the Unix grep function, you can create really complex search and replace patterns that can save you hours.
Beyond editing and manipulating strings of text, TextWrangler can manipulate entire files. You can merge the contents of a file into another one, for example. TextWrangler's support of system-level versioning makes it easy for you to track what you're doing, and it can auto-save files. It'll even save what you're doing if you quit the app or need to restart your Mac.
TextWrangler is built on the same underpinnings as Bare Bones' flagship software app, BBEdit. BBEdit costs money, though — it's available for $50 from the Mac App Store. The price tag gets you a whole ton of features you don't get with TextWrangler, especially if you're working with web documents — BBEdit has a complete set of HTML markup and editing tools, along with a clipping system, integrated support for version control systems like Perforce and Subversion, Automator workflows, the ability to read (and write) files stored in Zip archives, and much more.
If you're just getting started in Mac programming or Mac system administration and don't want to spend money on an industrial-strength text editor, TextWrangler is perfect for the job. Even if you're not a code monkey or an IT monkey, having a powerful text editor can save you a lot of time and work when it comes to searching and transforming text-based documents you might be working with.
If, for some reason, you're averse to downloading apps from the Mac App Store, TextWrangler is also available for download directly from Bare Bones' web site
