Acto Fallido #2
"Walter y el Chino tienen un problema" delivers a striking, mythic tale from Pablo Berman and Leandro De Rissio, where the Roman war god Marte flees to a wild forest seeking peace, only to be hunted by legionaries driven by Rome’s relentless expansion. As the forest’s ancient spirit, Xim (or Rin), stands against the invaders, the story unfolds with quiet intensity, probing the clash between destiny and understanding. Guillermo Altayrac’s evocative cover captures the tension, while the interior art by De Rissio brings the mythic struggle to life in a 2002 release that remains a standout in Albiacomics’ catalog.
In "Walter y el Chino tienen un problema," Walter’s kitchen flood spirals into farce when he calls his friend “el Chino” for help, only to end up with a confused impostor and a missing plumber. As his parents show up unannounced and the chaos mounts, the real solution hides in plain sight—just a note from his parents that could’ve prevented everything.
In "Mundo mágico," a quiet futuristic city lives in uneasy peace—until a shadowy giant erupts from the child’s toy world called "Mundo Mágico," unleashing chaos. The story unfolds through a surreal shift in perspective, revealing the destruction as the imaginative collapse of a miniature fantasy realm. The final panel brings a tender, haunting moment as Martín’s mother asks if he’s broken another "Mundo Mágico," turning a city’s nightmare into a child’s playtime.
In a quiet moment at the beach, Jo’s playful scare tactics take a chilling turn when his sister’s fear becomes all too real—his joke about a shark comes back to haunt them both. The story’s simple setup, grounded in sibling mischief and coastal stillness, builds to a sudden, jarring twist that redefines everything that came before.
In "El visitante," the Roman war god Marte flees to a deep, ancient forest seeking peace, only to be pursued by relentless legionaries driven by Rome’s imperial will. There, the forest’s enigmatic spirit, Xim (or Rin), stands between the gods and the soldiers, warning that understanding is lost when conquest begins. As the clash between destiny and defiance unfolds, the story lingers on the quiet truth that even gods are only passing through—no one truly owns the course of history.
