The New Teen Titans: The Judas Contract Reviews
-
Hired by an evil cabal called HIVE, Deathstroke the Terminator takes out the Teen Titans with thanks to a Judas within the ranks – but who sold them out and why?
The Judas Contract is another “classic” story so-called because of middle-aged fanboys looking back at this early ‘80s comic through a nostalgia filter rather than it being of high quality.
Even though this is a 33 year-old comic, I guess SPOILERS AHEAD, but the long and short of it is to never read any comics written by Marv Wolfman!
It’s not difficult to figure out who the “Judas” in the group is given that the Teen Titans are utter shits to 16 year old Terra/Tara for no reason. That’s literally the entire opening issue, by the way: the everyday lives of the annoying and mega-boring Teen Titans who inexplicably come down hard on this kid. Immediately you hate these characters and they’re supposed the heroes! And Marv Wolfman’s banter – pee-yew! Wonder Girl’s nickname is “Wondy”! Kee-rist, it’s such forced, unconvincing camaraderie – at best it’s cringey!
Deathstroke taking out the Titans was duller than dull – it didn’t help that it was told in disjointed flashback so there was zero tension. If you want to see what an awesome Deathstroke fight sequence looks like, check out Identity Crisis – it’s literally the only good part of that otherwise trashy book. Deathstroke’s Vietnam origin was equally uninspired – Marvel did it better with The Punisher.
The motivations behind the story are absolute garbage. HIVE are generically evil – they want the Titans’ powers or something idiotic for reasons – and are just there to fulfil the role of arbitrary antagonist. Terra’s motivations? Even worse. “Why not?” she simply says, suddenly smoking a cigarette – because smoking is BAD and only baddies smoke! She’s so laughably bad at being a bad girl. The other reason given is that Terra is crazy. She’s been hooking up with Deathstroke – a guy old enough to be her grandfather – but having a thing for older dudes doesn’t make her nuts (also, considering she’s meant to be 16, that makes Slade guilty of statutory rape – but then he already is the villain so I guess it’s expected behaviour). Wolfman is such a shitty writer.
The only notable aspect of the book is that this is the first time Dick Grayson becomes Nightwing. He handily thought bubbles a rambling piece of exposition for the reader’s benefit, explaining his choice of name (it’s Kryptonian based) before slipping into his gay disco outfit. Wow, so worth it. Not at all stupid or contrived! And speaking of gay, I’m pretty sure it’s implied that Deathstroke and his war buddy Wintergreen enjoy getting their ‘stroke on together, ifyaknowwhaddamean! Don’t know why Wolfman threw that in there but then I’m not sure this dude knew what he was doing at any point of writing this rubbish!
Like many ‘80s superhero books, The Judas Contract is overwritten, slow-moving, extremely dull, and hasn’t aged well at all. The characterisation and dialogue is corny and the plot is dumb and nonsensical. I mean, if you can put down a book three pages before the end and finish it a few days later, you haven’t written a gripping story! And this is what passes as a Teen Titans classic, one of their best storylines? Then I don’t think a good Teen Titans book exists. Every Teen Titan book I’ve read has been awful. This team SUCKS! And so does The Judas Contract – don’t bother. -
Second Read:
Rereading this again after having actually read what came before made such a difference! It helped deepen my understanding of the emotional context.
What I really enjoyed about this story was the build up. The conclusion didn’t feel like it under-delivered because Tara did betray the Titans, they were all hurt and confused.
And the many mentions to her being unstable paid off in a very dramatic and intense way.
Another reason why I liked this story was the introduction to Dick’s other famous alter-ego, Nightwing! Easily one of my favourite comic characters. I can’t wait to reread his stories.
I love when a story can delve deeper into not only the protagonist but also the antagonist. Unfortunately, Tara gets short-changed in that department but there is an entire issue dedicated to Deathstroke aka Slade Wilson’s origins.
The one thing I really dislike about this story was the way Tara’s rage and hate was described at the end. She kept going on about not needing a reason to destroy and that no one taught her to hate.
My issue is that no one is born to hate. Yes, Tara was mentally-ill but there must have been a reason she fixated so much hate for heroes.
I would’ve liked the story to explore that a little more.
Other than that, I felt this story was pretty well done. You can see why it’s become one of the more famous Teen Titans stories.
First Read:
I read this comic to see the first time Dick Grayson becomes Nightwing,and we see that but it isn't as focused on Dick as I thought it would be.
For each part there was a new revelation about Deathstroke the Terminator (or just Terminator as they called him). It was interesting to see his origin and to see why he was doing the things that he was doing.
Also it was interesting to see the Titans, working and fighting together.
I was slightly confused in the beginning but things started to make more sense once I got really into the story.
Overall, it was a good Teen Titan comic, that made me learn a little more about certain characters I thought I knew enough about. -
Storyline: 3
Artworks: 5
"The Judas Contract" is a cheesy DC comics milestone (Dick Grayson quit being Robin and becomes Nightwing; Deathstroke's secret origin is revealed for first time) but it not aged much well (Starfire's haircut and her "Dick! I love Dick!" double entendres... Oh good grief).
But is always a pleasure to see George Perez's awesome hyperdetailed artworks.
Shame on me for reading baloons imagining the voices from the "Teen Titans Go" TV show characters XD -
This is probably not the most substantive insight into a book, but I'm going to say that if you're the spokesperson for an evil cult that is trying to pass itself off as a humane religion, you may want to go by a name other than Mistress Mayhem.

here.
Are you unfamiliar with the Teen Titans? These young heroes have been dealing out justice in the shadow of the Justice League all their life. Their camaraderie is iconic and their passion, unquenchable. Being young and inexperienced, their development has always been impregnated by a touch of innocence and a whole lot of trial and error. With members like Robin, Starfire, Beast Boy, Cyborg and Raven, the Teen Titans have been a peculiar group of heroes with their own set of flaws, but also a powerful team that finds their footing thanks to their unparalleled friendship.
But what exactly is The Judas Contract about? This is the ultimate and quintessential Teen Titans story about new beginnings and betrayals. Collecting The New Teen Titans #39-40, Tales of the Teen Titans #41-44 and Tales of the Teen Titans Annual #3, this story features the origin story for both Nightwing and Deathstroke, the introduction of Jericho and Tara Markov, as well as the retirement of Kid Flash. However, it is the betrayal of a Teen Titan that highlights this story arc and identifies it as a classic canon DC story worth visiting as the events that unfold will shock the Titans to the core and bring them to experience something that they are likely to not forget anytime soon.
What readers need to keep in mind while picking up this story arc is that it was created in the 1980s. There are plenty of implications in that fact alone and one of them is that it struggles to survive the test of time. The artwork alone is an indisputable indicator of the era in which it was all thought up, but it is far from being a flaw in this case. The style portrays colourful and detailed looks at some of our heroes original designs and begins to focus a lot more on facial expressions and movement to convey the drama in constrast to the previous era’s art style.
The artwork also conforms itself to the traditional panel structure and makes it easy to observe how extremely dialogue-heavy the story is. In fact, it’s safe to say that Marv Wolfman was very fond of the telling-rather-than-showing style, but what made it much more difficult to read was all the internal monologue that were impossible to believe. As much as I wanted to believe that those were the words they uttered to themselves in the mist of danger and what not, I was too baffled by how much cringe it instigated in me to overlook it.
It still remained that it was fun discovering the personality of all these Titans through the eyes of Marv Wolfman. They all had their own stories to tell, and some were even carrying over emotions from past events. What however struck me the hardest was the sexual touch that was lingering throughout the banter in this story arc. Some of these characters are teenagers, yet they make jokes that seemed a little bit too exuberant and spicy. Although Starfire has always been portrayed as a beautiful innocent orange-skinned alien, and I expected to see that being focused on here and there, the rest sort of came out of the blue.
While the plot revolves around a major betrayal that could potentially lead the Teen Titans to their demise, the execution took away a lot of the tension and suspense that you would expect from it all. In fact, there are no surprises in this volume. Everything is pretty predictable. This forces you to seek enjoyment and appreciation elsewhere, leaving you feeling a bit underwhelmed. Ultimately, The New Teen Titans: The Judas Contract is a story to pick up to enlighten your knowledge on an iconic event, but it is far from being the most impressive story to grace the DC universe.

I read this the other day because I wanted to watch the DC Animated movie of the same name and I wanted to reconnect with this older story of the Teen Titans. I gotta say, this was just as good now as it was back in the day. Deathstroke is still the hardline, tortured and reluctant bad guy, but there is so much more depth to him other than being a villain. He is portrayed in many ways these days and soon to be in the next Justice League movie. In this it goes into much about him, including his history and the family you would never think he would have. He loses a son in this story and that turns his heart to ice. The last thing you want is a super soldier that can outfight and out think you, as your enemy. He conducts a plot and with the inclusion of the church of Brother Blood and those crazy zealots, he turns the Titans against one another. This is old school Marv Wolfman writing, and George Perez art and it can't get much better than this. Marv is a master storyteller and I have actually met him. He still has never considered Deathstroke the Terminator a villain. He believes him to be a good man with morals and standards, forced to do things that spiral out of control because of his sense of duty and his powerful belief in doing what you commit to, never deviating, never lying or betraying, and removing obstacles in your path, no matter the cost. The mission is what is important.
This is a great story and will remain timeless in my eyes. Just good storytelling, plain and simple.

To me what made this book fantastic was the edge it brought. Comics have always born the stigma of being for children and having very simplistic writing style that only made them fit for younger readers. This book becomes a paradox. It was about the junior members of the DC universe, too young for the Justice League which was populated by the greats: Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, et. al, however Teen Titans was more mature than the titles bearing those more senior members of the League. It was violent. It was very sexual. It was also more sophisticated. This title was what made DC a rival for Marvel. In this we are shown a very fragile union of Teenagers with all the angst, ego, and problems of normal teens juxtoposed against the duties of saving the world and presenting a good image to the world. As can be expected there is a great deal of strain, and then along comes a spider. A traitor infiltrates their ranks and uses all of these issues to effectively destroy them from within. What will happen? How can total annihilation be averted? Read on and see . . .

Lehet, hogy az olvasási időből nem ez jön le, de egész jó volt ez. Nyilván a Júdás szerződés magán viseli kora minden jellegzetességét, és ez most nem feltétlen negatívum.
Amiért szerintem érdemes ezt a kötetet elolvasni, az egyrészt Dick Grayson átalakulása, hiszen a Júdás szerződés lapjain hagyja maga mögött a Robin nevet (és mindent, amit a Robinság – de szép szó :D – jelent), és lesz belőle Nightwing, azaz Éjszárny. Itt sajnos közel sem annyira érezhető Dick vívódása ezzel kapcsolatban, mint pl. amilyen mesterien ábrázolták azt a Titans című sorozatban. A másik, amely miatt érdeklődésre tarthat számot, az Deathstroke háttérsztorija. De egyébként ennyi. Kellemes, olvasható darab, azonban semmi kiemelkedőre nem kell számítani. -

Los Nuevos Titanes siempre fue un comic que se centró en la temática del paso de la juventud a la adultez y todo lo que eso implica y el Contrato de Judas es el ejemplo perfecto de todo esto. Tenemos desde jóvenes que dejan la sombra de sus mentores (lo que implica la primera aparición de Nightwing), pasando por sufrir la primera traición hasta entender que las cosas en la vida (y en los buenos comics) no son todas blanco o negro, todas cosas que uno pasa mientras crece y las analogías son claras.
Siendo lector de Los Titanes desde viejas épocas para mi en esta historia de consolida la que hasta la fecha es la alineación definitiva del grupo y si como yo sos fan esta es una lectura obligada.
El ritmo de la historia es excelente, incluso cuando se va hacia el pasado, y como fue habitual durante toda las década de los 80 (y los 90) Pérez está prendido fuego.
Dicho todo esto si la calificación no es de 5 estrellas es por dos diálogos que no aguantan tan bien el paso del tiempo como el resto de la obra, sin embargo sigue siendo un comic muy recomendable que como ya dije pasa a ser imprescindible para los seguidores del grupo. -
(From the notes I wrote in 2005.)
After reading this, a lot of things are clearer about the Teen Titans cartoon. I love Starfire's giant 80s hair and Wonder Girl's costume. Very interesting storyline, but I prefer Marvel over DC for many reasons. (The planning, quality of writing, fight scenes, and artwork and fluidity.) However, it was still cool reading about these characters that I had come to like so much and learning about their background. -
Profundamente conmovedor, una historia potente al servicio de unos personajes carismáticos y entrañables. Un dibujo preciso y en perfecta armonía con lo que se dice y ocurre, un sentido de la épica que no muere y una mezcla de tensión y entretenimiento que culmina con un final nostálgico y trascendente a los cánones comerciales típicos de DC. Es ante todo un cómic de crecimiento, con personajes conocidos y valorados por el gran público lo que redunda en su cercanía e interés.

3.5, rounded up.
This series was on the same level as X-Men in the early 80s, in both popularity and quality. I was always a True Believer, so this, as with many titles from the Distinguished Competition, flew under my radar. I have been trying to fill those gaps, and DC joining Comixology Unlimited has been a boon.
The title gives the game away here: One of the Titans is a traitor! Well, a spy; their loyalties were never with the group at all. The identity of the bad apple is never in question, only whether they will see the light in time.
Look, this is vintage tights-book silliness. The art is mostly great, but when it isn't... Same goes for the writing (Deathstroke's dialogue is especially inconsistent), but it is a lot of fun. Plus, Robin finally becomes Nightwing! That legitimately important moment falls a bit flat, sadly, but this is a good book for any who want some old-school superheroics, bad puns, gaudy tights, and all. -
Not only was this the best Teen Titans story I have read, It's the best DC comic I have read to date! This is the first graphic novel that has actually put me in tears at the end. While it provided an interesting backstory for Deathstroke, it also saw the retirement of Kid Flash, Dick Grayson's exit as Robin and entrance as Nightwing, along with introducing Jericho, along with the death of one of their own. The emotional betrayal is simply heartbreakingly powerful. It was malicious, cruel and heart-wrenching. It also showcases what an amazing Team the Teen Titans are and how desperately loyal they are to each other. I would highly recommend this story and then watch the animated movie.

My knowledge of this storyline initially came from it being adapted for season 2 of the animated Teen Titans series. Reading the actual source material was an interesting experience, and the result was a well crafted tale which may have a few problems (Dicks costume change prevents him from helping the Titans?). However, the deceptive tale of Terra and The Terminators take down of the Titans is a fantastic read, with a standout character in the mute Jericho.

In the 1980's DC"s Teen Titans was in an intense rivalry with Marvel's X-men, and many actually thought the Titans's new Teen line-up was a rip off the X-men, despite the fact that the Titans came first. The Judas Contract is a benchmark story. It focuses on Terra, the sister of Geo-Force, a member of the superhero team The Outsiders (at the time led by Batman), who has just joined the Titans. Like her brother, Terra posseses the ability to bend the Earth itself to her whim. The Titans feel she will be a great asset, but they do not realize she is a loose cannon. However, Beast Boy feels they can rein her in. What they don't realize is that a mole is in the works. Deathstroke has sent in an enemy agent. What's more, the Titans have also acquired a member named Jericho, who can possess people's bodies. But who is this Jericho? Can either of them be trusted? Some great artwork from George Perez as always. And a story that actually is quite different from the animated series from a few years back. If all you know is the Cartoon Network show, you know nothing about the real team. And this is not the stupid Teen Titans Go version either. Wolfman and Perez are a great team here and if you like the Titans, this is a good story to start with. It's classic 80's comics at its best.

This is the arc of the Teen Titans I read and re-read as a kid. Deathstroke is easily my favorite DC villian, so much that I completely geeked out when Slade Wilson was introduced on the first season of Arrow. And here you get his origin story (which of course differs from Arrow's).
It's the classic lineup of the Titans, with Robin, Wonder Girl, Starfire, Changeling, Raven, and Cyborg.
I miss Kid Flash here, because by this time he was The Flash (I think), but it's still cool to see Robin transform into Nightwing, and reading this now, I'd love to see Jericho make an appearance on Arrow or Flash. (They've already done a version of Ravager, so why not?) -
With a captivating storyline and beautiful artwork, The Judas Contract is a near perfect addition to the Teen Titans mythos. The only drawback being the dated dialogues.
There's so much going on this book, the infiltration of teen titans, the origin of Deathstroke, the first appearance of Nightwing, the introduction of Jericho..and yet everything's been contructed so well.
The book not only explores the heroes but also the antagonists of the arc. Deathstroke has always been an interesting character, and this storyline provided great depth to his character.
Overall, it was a very enjoyable read and recommended to every Teen Titans fans. -
AKA the inspiration for season 2 of Teen Titans, which is why I wanted to read this compilation. I'm not going to lie: it was a bit lackluster for what I was expecting (and that "witty" dialogue--I guess I should cut some slack for the '80s?), and the pacing felt really weird (see: Logan and Terra's sudden romance). Still, I really enjoyed it, and as someone who is far more versed in cartoons than comics, it was really interesting to see the story in comic format and also get the backstories for several characters. Plus, Deathstroke. Who doesn't love Deathstroke? "Vainglorious fool" is my new go-to insult.
-
Another one of those "all-time classic" comics that doesn't hold up all that well to the non-nostalgic eye beyond some striking art. It's one of the more exciting stories of the run, and Dick's ascent into the mantle of Nightwing is classic, but the Titans themselves barely feature and the treatment of Terra is unintentionally horrifying in its lack of empathy for a victim of serious sexual and emotional abuse the writer of the story seems oblivious to. Slade gets a whole issue dedicated to his backstory and motivations. Terra is just an evil nymphette not to be mourned. Gross, Wolfman.
-
Si bien puede ser un poco cansada, la historia de Deathstroke y su relación con Terra compensan con creces la falta de ritmo que puede llegar a tener.
También aprendí que no soy tan fan de los Teen Titans. -
I’m giving this four stars more for its importance as a story than my actual enjoyment of it. The ending was strong but much of what comes before is dull. It is interesting to see Grayson become Nightwing.
-
Terra makes her move against the Titans, and Dick's new identity is revealed as another person might join up. The ending is very fitting and appropriate. Wow!

Back in 1985, when I was in sixth grade, there was this DC comics series called “Crisis on Infinite Earths” that I was obsessed about. It was a twelve-issue run, and I eagerly awaited every month for the new issue. On top of that, there were numerous cross-overs into other DC titles, which I had to buy. I still own these issues, wrapped in their mylar protective bags with cardboard backing, tucked away in a comic book box somewhere in my parents basement.
I never paid much attention then as to who the writers or artists were. I didn’t care. I was in sixth grade. I just loved reading comic books, seeing the Technicolor stories of spandex-clad superheroes beating the snot out of spandex-clad supervillains. I didn’t really pay attention to stuff like that until college, when my tastes moved away from “X-men” and “Batman” and more toward series like Neil Gaiman’s “Sandman” or Alan Moore’s “Watchmen”. Eventually, I lost interest in superheroes entirely. Not coincidentally, this started happening around the same time I realized that girls actually wanted to have sex with me.
I’m 47 now, married, with a kid. I just recently started back up reading comic books, and I love them. I feel like I’ve been away from a group of friends for a really long time, but they don’t seem to mind, and they act like only a few days have passed. Even though, deep down, I know I’ve changed considerably.
I brought up “Crisis on Infinite Earths” for several reasons, one being that it was written by Marv Wolfman and drawn by George Perez, the same team who created “The New Teen Titans”, a series that I just recently started reading for the first time because I missed out on it when it first ran, back in the early-‘80s.
“Crisis” was also unique in that it was a series that brought about radical changes in the DC universe, good and bad. I’m not an expert in comic books, but I’m fairly certain that “Crisis” started a trend in the comic book world of universe-changing storylines that consolidated numerous titles. Marvel imitated DC’s “Crisis” in its 1992 series “The Infinity War”, the series that inspired the last two “Avengers” films.
Life in the DC universe would never be the same after the events of “Crisis”. But it wasn’t the first time that DC ran a series that had life-altering consequences for its heroes.
Wolfman and Perez, two years prior to “Crisis”, ran a series in its popular comic “The New Teen Titans” that was entitled “The Judas Contract”, which ran in issues 39-44, including Annual 3. It was such a popular storyline that DC fans still reverentially talk about it. It also helped to cement the importance of the “Teen Titans” within the DC universe.
Several huge things happened within “The Judas Contract”. The most significant revelation was the end of Robin. No, Dick Grayson didn’t die. He just didn’t want to be the Boy Wonder anymore. It was in this series that fans were introduced to Grayson’s newest manifestation, Nightwing. This had huge ramifications for the DC universe, not the least of which was finding Robin’s successor.
Another huge event was the introduction of a new hero named Jericho, whose origins were inextricably linked to the Titans’ biggest enemy, Deathstroke the Terminator.
Of course, the hugest revelation in the series was the death of Terra, the newest member of the Teen Titans. Her death was shocking in that it is revealed (to the Titans at least, as readers were clued in several issues back) that Terra was actually working for Deathstroke as a spy bent on infiltrating the team in order to destroy it from within. She almost succeeds.
Terra’s death was significant for the simple reason that the Titans would forever suffer from trust issues afterwards. It’s bad enough being a teen superhero, with all the trappings and problems that a normal teenager faces. Throw in the added problem of a developing friendship that turns out to be founded on lies and an inexplicable psychotic hatred, and you basically have a major traumatic mind-fuck that won’t ever be adequately assuaged.
For readers, Terra’s death was even worse. It was a total subversion of normal comic book conventions. As Wolfman explained in his introduction to the book, “It was the first time a member of a super-hero group ever proved to be a spy (not a traitor---she was always working for the Terminator). Playing on the comic readers’ expectations worked. The Tara Markov story threw everyone for a loop.”
Arguably, “The Judas Contract” was one of the first graphic novel series to really play around with comic book conventions and subvert traditional comic book sensibilities. Many more of these series would follow, all of them ultimately toying with the idea that, in the comic book universe that readers have come to rely on, nothing and nobody was safe anymore. -
Now being a comics noob, I knew a little about what this storyline had in store for me. Mostly revolving around Tara Markov's plot int his book. Thankfully, I didn't know much else. This story contained two other wonderful surprises for me including some great setup for Dick Grayson and a nice peek into Deathstroke's past. Yes, by today's standards the art might seem dated, but a solid storyline held this together. My only regret is that I wish the arc had been longer than only four issues! Highly recommend and serves as a nice piece to the DC timeline puzzle just prior to Crisis on Infinite Earths.
-
Classic, many essential moments (the birth of Elvis Nightwing!), but not esp. modern or subtle. Very heavy handed, or sort of elegant in its emotional simplicity. I admire the refusal to provide satisfying reason for Terra's insane bitchery. Like, toward the end, characters are literally begging to know why she betrayed them, and the narrator steps in to tell you that there is no why. Girl is just batshit crazy.

Tomo 26, primero dedicado a los Teen Titans.

Una de las historias más potentes e irrepetibles, aunque lo intenten, de todos los TT.

Puntaje: 4.4 Estrellas.
Los Jóvenes Titanes es mi grupo de super héroes favorito. De pequeño vi la serie animada en Cartoon Network y era de mis programas favoritos. De hecho, conocí a muchos personajes de DC (Sin siquiera saber qué era DC) gracias a este show.
El Contrato de Judas es una de las historias más importantes de los Titanes, y esto se debe a varias razones: Primero, es la primera aparición de Nightwing. Sí, es en este cómic en el que Dick Grayson decide dejar el manto de Robin y asumir una nueva identidad.
Por otro lado, El Contrato de Judas nos presenta la historia de Slade Wilson (Deathstroke). Por años habíamos visto a Deathstroke haciendole la vida imposible a sus rivales, pero no conocíamos su origen! Por último, conocemos a un nuevo personaje, Jericó, uno de los hijos de Deathstroke y quien se convierte por un par de ocasiones en un titán.
Solo con estas tres menciones, el libro merece un mínimo de 4 estrellas. De allí en adelante lo demás es ganancia.
Desde hace años tuve la intención de leer esta historia, pero no le había dedicado tiempo. Fue gracias a la Colección de Novelas Gráficas de DC que he podido por fin leer El Contrato de Judas, y qué experiencia he tenido! Como les dije al comienzo de la reseña, los Titanes son mi grupo favorito de los cómics, así que disfruté mucho leyendo a la versión ochentera de estos personajes que tanto me gustan. En este sentido, el personaje que más me impactó fue Raven, en especial porque en esta edición se ve muy adulta, ¡pareciera la que tiene la mayor edad entre todos los miembros del equipo!
No encontré puntos negativos con la historia. La única razón por la que no le doy 5 estrellas es porque ya sabía lo que iba a suceder, pues he visto varias adaptaciones de este arco, ¡pero he disfrutado todo! Los ataques de Deathstroke, todo el tema del hermano sangre, la actitud de Terra, la batalla en la base de La Colmena, simplemente fue perfecto!
Definitivamente recomiendo mucho El Contrato de Judas, en especial para quienes, como yo, crecieron viendo la serie de televisión y quieren conocer un poco más acerca de los personajes que conocimos en la niñez.
