In some parts of the world things are more difficult than how they are elsewhere. Ciudad P is one of those places, a suburb where traditions and characteristics of a country meet with crime and corruption consuming its inhabitants day by day, A place where more than 55,000 souls must constantly strive to avoid falling. Of those 55,000 souls, 6 characters will cross lives, trying to change a blood and bullets written fate. All of them have a dream, all of them have hopes. Gato, Chocho, Indio, Cholo, Rucia and Ciruela, will have to start a new life at any price. They'll have to sacrifice everything, such as their dreams, their family, their friends and even their own life, since all of them turned out to be criminals and victims of some sort. Each one will have a turn to fight for what they want most, they'll have allies, but they’ll also have to face the worst scum of the country, the worst that mankind could’ve ever spawned, men and women who don’t forgive, and don’t respect in any way the right to live or the right to be free. Those of who Ciudad P fears, children, teenagers and adults linked to drug trafficking, prostitution networks, armed hit men willing to do what ever it takes to meet their goal. Now they must avoid leaders of different bands, prevent the entrance of the police in their neighborhood, and whatever else they have to do, regardless of having to shoot in cold blood, or even murder. These are, the Hijos de P.
This is a tight looking comic. The narrative boxes are placed kind of weird, making it a little tough to read, but still, really cool!
good jb super ink....
hey guys, thanks for the comments these months. I've been working out some ideas to see the possibility to continue HDP somehow, nothing sure yet, but anyways, you can keep visiting my online links and maybe at some point you'll see news of HDP.
Cheers!
this is totally bad ass! love it! When can we see more?
I like the start contrast of the Blacks & Whites. You're pages, in all your books so far, are always so dynamic in their layout. You squeeze a lot in.
Great work, i've seen your other work: Clandestino, too.
Greetings from Temuco, Chile.
Brilliant line work, man. Can't wait to see more from you.
great job, keep it up!
Hijos de P, un excelente Novela grafica que he tenido el gusto de hojear.
saludos
Man, Alot of great art/comic in 8 pgs! Great Works.
Great work annb -- BE BACK!
thanks for all your comments and support guys.
La competencia esta muuuuy reñida, ya es la ultima semana, no le aflojen!!! éxito!!!
There is some great line work here, it gets lost a bit if it is not zoomed in on. I went back and looked at it a second time zoomed in. Some of the best art this month, if not the best, but all the dialogue boxes killed the pacing of the story for me. Good Luck!
amancay!
felicitaciones
estan muy buena (no la lei.. como que no soy de los comics jaj)pero los dibujos barbaros!
ojalá ganes
besos!!!!
I am studying in Chile right now, i just bought the first volume of this. i havent gotten around to reading it, but the art blew me away so i decided to do some research and found this here.
i love the black and white, but the colors in this book are mindblowing too. its like a combination of frank miller and sean phillips but better.
keep up the good work, i will keep paying for it!
RDRICCI1971: Gracias, genial que te haya gustado el estlo en blanco y negro.

That really is some stunning artwork, A-Grade pro-level if you ask me. I think the caption writing lets it down a little, but very impressed nonetheless...
Beautifully done, amazing angles, love the style.
nene pues chekie tu blog y estan cabronsisimo los posters que haz hecho. me encanta como coloreastes los character sheets con el título de Hijos de P. I'll see what i can do and plug your stuff elsewhere because, like i've said a million of times but ill just say it AGAIN in spanish to spice it up a bit, espero que ganes, porque te lo mereces y porque considero que despierta la atención de uno en comparación a algunas de las entradas de este mes. And I'll quit with the spanglish seeing as I feel a bit too much like Dora the Explorer.
Voté por tu cómic.Me encantan los cómics
en blanco y negro.
Buena Suerte!
-I vote for you.I like the black and white comics.
Good luck!
infernalbbg: yeah maybe it wasn't the best pic for a thumb ..but whatever, there it is xD
niklopez: yeah i'd like to see on top too, but looks like my marketing campaign isn't enough :S
talkinboutcomics: thanks dude!
Fantastic art. Incredibly dynamic. The car chase pages are awesome.
whuttashame wuttashame, i would very much enjoy this one being further on top in the ranks. aka..first place. come on, annb!!! market your product :]
Haha! Again, my vote is like the kiss of death. :)
.
PS I don't think your thumbnail did you any favors by the way. There are much more appealing shots within your story that display your talent and would tantilise viewers more than mister man there IMO. Oh, and I'm not neccessarily talking about the stripper panel, as fantastic as it is. ;)
dreams[on]toast: you mean like a story like an apocaliptic guy? or with otomo's style? anyway's that would be huge! :O
andrez44: gracias por tus saludos andres, un honor tener un competidor apoyando.
DShide: glad you changed your mind of not voting this month man, let's hope to see some changes in the rank :)
ART IZAN: thanks for the comments too, unfortunatly it looks like you need more than a good story and artto win :S
StrckfusPersons: can i meet your mom? xD hahahaha thanks for the comments dude.

Expressive, stylish and dense. The lady on page two reminds me of mom. She was always good for a laugh.
Great artwork and layout, I agree with Tyler James about the text needing some work (that would really polish it off) and with Dshide - Sin Cityesque but more City of God. Personally I liked the amount of narration, I guess some people don't like to read? Definitely a lot better than Screaming Eagles in terms of story and artwork.
I'll agree with RKB about the wordiness of the text boxes, almost made me want to not read it. Although I am glad I did. I thought this was going to be the first month I didn't vote until now. Everything else seems to be all flash and no substance but this I like. Kinda reminds me of Sin City, in a good way mind you. Similar premise different place and characters. 4/5 stars (cause of so many words on page 1), a fav, and my vote for you. Let's hope you can beat the cheesy stuff above you.
Buen trabajo, muy dinámico, me encanta la persecución y el trabajo en blanco y negro. Mucha suerte
Despite the heavy writing which labours the point far too much the exceptional layout of, and movement within the panels carried it along.
I'd like to see if you're capable of writing a Western compatriot to Otomo's Akira. (>_^)
opsis: thanks for the vote.
Bryy Miller: I checked the review, i left my comments ;)
infernalbbg: thanks for the 5 stars!
valde76: gracias!
johnzakour: maybe it's a good time to take a look to the spanish books again :D
Gnar Duce: Thanks for the comments on the script.
RKB: I agree with many things you say, i guess it's a way of learning reading all the comments, really thanks for the complete review.
Tyler James: I also agree with you, when you're writing you have so many ideas to try to fit there that you wanna put everything in, for the next time i'm sure there's one thing i'll do, and it'll be to try to see what's really important to say and what not.
Stealth: i also love making expressions :D
great stuff. Especially the work with the black and white.
I apreciated expressions too, and hell; good expressions are in need in a good story telling !
Hey, nice work. You've definitely got some strong potential as an artist and visual story teller. As a comics creator who often does it all on a story, I know how cool it is to have something and be able to say it's completely yours. But given that English is not your first language, you're doing yourself a real disservice by not having your script first past through the eyes of a decent native English speaking editor. Your stuff is too good not to put in that little bit of extra effort. You could have had a much better written piece, using perhaps half the words, with the help of a good editor. (And this is coming from a guy who knows he always packs too many words into his pages.) Anyway, keep that in mind next time you're doing an English language book and I expect great things will be the result. Best of luck.
first off:you start with a man dies every second from murder every 5 seconds from hunger, then you start talking about the rapes/ murder's child births in ciudad p. You start off talking about the world, then move to ciudad p, I had to read it twice to make sure you weren't saying a person dies every second in ciudad p. It all kind of ran together with so many text boxes. As far as ciudad p goes I don't know if it is hyperbole or you did your homework stats-wise, still I think it would have been stronger if you would have left the world stats out. Maybe your were trying to show places like CP are what get these numbers so high world wide, but it didn't come off that well to me.
***********************************************************
I agree with Brian, Nick, and Daniel's comments from the leftyfilm mini-Zuda reviews, I would have liked to have read the comic (with some effort, but I think it would have been worth it) in spainsh, I think it would have helped to set the story apart from the other comics this month and probably helped with 'all those words' in 'all those text boxes'. It would have got me interested enough to look up the words I didn't know plus maybe helped out with your fan base. i don't think there is any thing in the Zuda contracts that says it has to be in english is it??? i know you probably wouldn't want to do that for fear of cutting off you english speaking/reading reader's, but really it would have just added to the flavor/ mystery of it for me. A comic without words for Zuda, it's not a bad idea either. A translation button would be nice, but even that wouldn't be needed, I think you could have gained more than you might have lost.
**********************************************************
This is the part where I talk about how much I hate text-boxes.
*********************************************************
I know the way you sit the story up, you pretty much have to have them, you want the reader’s to understand just how bad a place this really is. I get that, but the English usage in some of the text boxes just didn’t read right to me. Again, if you had just had it all in Spanish and said deal with it, I would have understood that, respected that, and liked that. When you tell me over and over again how horrible it is in CP, you end up with diminishing returns in your narrative. Cutting down on the wordage wouldn’t have had me so numb to what you were describing by the end of the comic. You can hit somebody over the head (to show/tell the horror of CP) to get their attention , but if you keep hitting them just as hard their going to be out of it by screen 8.
***********************************************************************
So much text box narrative also made it seem like a real passive read, it made it harder to really get into the story, for me anyway.
*********************************************************
SCREEN 1 I actually really enjoy the black and white with color look of the first screen. The whole B&W but let's make whatever blood you see is a common touch, but I really enjoyed the way you added the red to the overhead view of the city, and green for the sign it made it pop out to me. The more non-traditional panel layout's of this screen and screen 2, I thought were better than later on where we see the 'chase the bad guy's' panel layout. really, really impressive art here.
*********************************************************
It's hard to read the font in small screen for me.
**********************************************************
SCREEN 2 WOW!!! Great art, and great screen composition really impressive, amazing screen. The text boxes here actually fit pretty well compared to screen 1, they added to the screen, and the story.
**********************************************************
SCREEN 3 Again I really enjoyed the layout on this page, the dancer's in the background and the girl and the guy to really let you know what kind of place this is. The text wasn't too heavy either. Liked the radio sfx: box too.
**********************************************************
SCREEN 4 So he jacks a car, then it's 30 seconds earlier, nice time change touch and good art. After screen 1 what the text has to say about how bad things are really isn't getting to me, it was a little overkill back at the start.
**********************************************************
SCREEN 5 The text box narration was a bit much here, but I liked the overhead shot of the john, and all the weird angles you use, until the last bit of the story the layout's really stand out. "don't be shy" "life's short enjoy it" really great dialogue for these character's I enjoyed the way you wrote them. The close up of the hand turning the water on, and how you did the reveal of the badge on this screen.
***********************************************************
SCREEN 6 After the stand-out layout's of the panels up until now, this seemed fairly standard crook runs cop pulls a gun. I was getting a Steranko/ Bolland vibe until this screen as far as panel layout goes. What happened to the cop's face in screen 6, it looked semi-demonic??? The big action/ speed lines (starting with panel 6) didn't do anything for me.
************************************************************
SCREEN 7 YES!!! back to a more interesting panel layout!!! I really enjoyed the dialogue between these character's on this page. I like the circle panel it really makes the page stand out, great job on this.
*******************************************************
SCREEN 8 These man and women spawn of violence and sin??? It's a bit too much for me on top of everything I have read before, it lessens the impact of your words. Kind of a so-so to me panel layout here too. I liked the cliff-hanger trying to get into the zone of CP, it reminded me some of Frank Miller's character's in sin city trying to make it into old town.
**********************************************************
Most of the panel layout's were amazing, the only problem with that the few times they weren't to me, was a let down.
************************************************************
Too many 'this is how horrible CP is' text boxes too soon, they had less and less impact as the story went on.
*********************************************************
I would have liked to have seen more color added after the first screen. Maybe the stripper on screen 2, or the crowd, or just add color to the john's in the rest room????
********************************************************
My little nit-picks and anti-text box comments aside i was really impressed with the art and story. 4/5 stars and a fav from me.
The Great Art Reminds me of some of the old school underground comix I've always loved. Profanity always makes a story more believable to me,(says alot about my vocabulary!), so I like the script, Great layout work. Sex, violence, drugs, what's Not to Like!?!
Very well done entry. The others are right this works well in black and white. My only complaints are you have to blow it up to really appreciate it and reading the comments makes me regret that I let my spanish get so rusty. Certainly in my top 3 of the month.
Votado y agregado a mis favoritos...
buenos dibujos compadre!!!!
nice style~!

ya vote
que ganemos suerte!!
Alright, you've got my vote, a 5 star rating and a favorite because of the art. Everything about the way you create your pages has so much energy and lush detail that despite the lack of color the art here blows every other entry this month out of the water IMO. The story has promise too, my only real reservation is the narration laying it on a bit thick if you know what I mean. "110% of all births result from rape, 1 billion murders a second, blah blah." I like everything about it except that aspect, so dial the hyperbole back a notch and have confidence that your beautifully executed visuals and story will convey the atmosphere your narrative tries a little too hard (-boiled) to create.
.
Again, amazing work and good luck!
I've taken up the Webcomic Witchfinder mantle and mini-reviewed this month:
