Three kids from opposite sides of the conflict -- two princes and an elven assassin sent to kill them -- discover a secret that could change everything and decide to join forces and go on an epic journey. That trek could be their only hope of ending the war and restoring peace to both worlds. [rating: 3.5/5]

In the 1970’s, publisher La Prensa did not believe Mexicans would read Spider-man after Gwen Stacy died.
