The Eternaut is not just a graphic novel-it's a haunting, politically charged masterpiece that redefined Latin American comics. Originally published in Argentina in 1957, it blends science fiction with social commentary in a way that still resonates powerfully today.
The story begins with a simple premise: a mysterious snowfall begins to blanket Buenos Aires, killing everyone it touches. A group of survivors, led by the titular "eternaut" Juan Salvo, must band together and navigate a dystopian nightmare where alien invaders, betrayal, and moral dilemmas lurk around every corner. As their world collapses, the characters' struggle becomes less about survival and more about resistance and unity.
Oesterheld's writing is intelligent and layered, offering more than just suspense or thrills. He subtly critiques authoritarianism and imperialism-especially poignant given the dark political period in Argentina that followed. Francisco Solano López's artwork perfectly matches the tone: stark, expressive, and often claustrophobic, capturing both the terror and humanity of the story.
This is a comic that grows deeper the more you think about it. It's a timeless work that deserves its place among the greatest graphic novels ever created-not only for its storytelling but for its courage.

Where do I even start? One of Those Days is a trainwreck from beginning to end. The plot is so thin it's almost nonexistent - it feels like they threw random scenes together and hoped for the best. Spoiler: it didn't work.
The execution is just as bad, if not worse. Every shot feels rushed, sloppy, and amateurish, like a high school film project gone wrong. And don't even get me started on the acting. Every performance is painfully forced and unnatural, making even simple conversations unbearable to watch.
The dialogue is cringy, the pacing is all over the place, and the movie somehow manages to make 90 minutes feel like an eternity. Honestly, it's one of the worst films I've sat through in years. Avoid it at all costs.

Just when you think you have it figured out, another curveball is thrown, making each episode a fun, unpredictable ride.

A solid 8/10, The Residence is a must-watch for fans of clever mysteries that don't take themselves too seriously.
