[EN] 'Night of Your Life' Is the English Title for the Comic Book 'De Noche hace Calor'

Good morning, guys! I want to start the day with a nice announcement. First, happy birthday to my friend Kodi, and second, yesterday he sent me the files for the English version of "De Noche hace Calor." In fact, I already took the liberty of creating a printed proof to read the changes in its localization compared to the version I translated. These weeks I will be doing revisions and seeing if any changes are necessary. This comic will be launched this year, and I hope it’s in the middle of the year; hopefully, I will have it much earlier!

Now, for this special occasion, I confirm that the English title of this comic will be "Night of Your Life."

The title is inspired by a song made by Julia Volkova with Sergey Galoyan. I think I have kept that title in mind since 2017, but over the years I considered translating "De Noche hace Calor" literally into English, but I wasn't convinced. I think the same thing happened with the comic. It became an adaptation rather than a literal translation.

As I said in January, there were many changes. I had to remove many 'Nica' humor jokes because there was no way to translate them; it's something cultural that transcends language barriers. The comic is a bit more serious and has a direction more focused on action. Another big change was not using the word "demon" because I feel that getting pigeonholed into that genre doesn't resonate with the North American audience; they find it very cliché.

Two new arts of Ella and James were done in December 2024 with 2M illustration and design, but for now, the cover and back cover have already been designed for quite some time. We'll see if I modify the final arts after reading it.

Although the comic is aimed at an American audience (the localization is precisely for that), I will sell a couple of copies here in Nicaragua for bookstores and expos. I’m excited to have a comic printed in another language for the first time. My other dream is to make one in Dutch.
For now, there are no plans for how it will be presented outside the country; I have no budget, no visa, nothing—just a dream.

One change I'm considering for now is whether to keep the "ü" in my last name; I think I’m going to remove it. It will stay Manuel Argüello in Spanish and Manuel Arguello in English.
Next, I’ll leave you with the promotional material.
