        by Agustina Atrio

        "This is the story of a journey through water. Why water? Because I feel comfortable being close to it, the calm invades me and the landscape fills in my urban person holes, those that grow when I live surrounded by concrete". With a brutally honest voice, Argentinean Agustina Atrio tells us about the impossibility of having a fixed the impossibility of having a fixed domicile, a stable a stable identity, a foot anchored on land. There are thunderstorms, earthquakes, echoes of guarani, submarine cables; cities that dry up, holes that always of cities that dry up, holes that always end up in China, mountains that threaten.

        El baile de San Pascual

        by Vieco, Camilo

        El Baile de San Pascual is award-winning author Camilo Vieco's first YA Graphic Novel. It is a fantasy epic story set in the Páramos, an endangered enviromnent in Colombia. In times of scarcity, the community that lives around the páramo of Ocetá organizes a party to ask San Pascual for help. But beware of abusing their generosity because the cost can be very high! With this graphic adventure novel, the cartoonist Camilo Vieco inaugurates a world of characters and landscapes inspired by peasant life and the Colombian páramos. Cohete Cómics presents Camilo Vieco's first graphic novel as a complete author. This project was developed at the ÉESI in Anguleme while its author was finishing a master's degree in Sequential Art. El baile de San Pascual is an adventure graphic novel inspired by the life of the peasants and the Colombian páramos. Camilo Vieco starts from the syncretism that occurred in Boyacá during the 16th century between the figure of the saint San Pascual Bailón and the Chibcha god Memcatacaquien to create a story about the relationship between human ambition and the laws of nature. This is the story of an irresponsible man who abuses the generosity of the moor, and of Agustina and Ignacio, two brothers who are forced to resolve the chaos caused by their father. In the process, they learn to take care of themselves and encounter fantastic creatures hidden in the heart of the páramo of Ocetá.

        by LUIS CARRANZA TORRES

        El abogado más renombrado del país, dueño de uno de los estudios jurídicos más poderosos, fundado y dirigido durante décadas con mano de hierro, ha desaparecido sin más, del sanatorio donde era atendido por una dolencia cardíaca. Pide que no lo busquen, pero deja por detrás muchas cuestiones pendientes. Desaparece pero no se va de las vidas de sus allegados. Ha dejado sustitutos que actúen por él. Cecilia y Agustina, medias hermanas y sobrinas del ausente, de la noche a la mañana deberán lidiar con un estudio pródigo en cuestiones que desconocían, pese a trabajar allí durante años,  y que las ponen en riesgo. Descubrirán, entonces, que el mundo perfecto en el que han vivido no lo es tanto y que, tras las apariencias, muchos son muy diferentes de lo que pretenden mostrar. Sobre todo, en aquellos ámbitos en los que el poder, el dinero y el derecho se dan la mano. Surgen extraños adversarios que en parte se muestran y en parte permanecen en las sombras, que conocen más que suficiente de todo y de todos, como para moverse entre ellos y saber descargar sus extraños golpes. En un punto medio entre la intimidad psicologista y la ironía con rasgos costumbristas, desde sus primeras páginas el autor nos sitúa en un complejo universo de personajes y hechos de las más variadas especies. Todos, lanzados en pos de los secretos de quien ya no está, los que deberán descubrir para ponerse a salvo.

        Outside of time

        by Silvia Bardelás

        "Destiempo is a song to the fight for internal revolutions and the desire to free ourselves from the vital ropes that bind us." - Armando Requeixo. Diario cultural. Radio Galega   Destiempo illuminates the we as the truly human space. An older woman asks her grandson to come back to Galicia from the United States to spend the summer with her. She wants him to attend a kind of social fight that she is carrying out with her friends. They look for action as the only thing that can give meaning to their lives. Silvia Bardelás mixes different generations that share the same problem: the weight of a standardized world, full of discourses, oblivious to vitality. The possibility of feeling alive and real again makes everything move in an unstoppable way. The story is a coming and going of past and present, of ideas and actions that reveal the silent social power and the inner need to feel free. Destiempo (Outside of time) is a community novel. Beyond individuality, beyond the group is the we, which can only emerge genuinely when individuals become singular beings, when they become aware of the myths, the ideology, the discourses that have dominated their lives and those of their ancestors.   The narrator puts the focus on the interrelation. He lights up scenes where the characters discover themselves through others.
