no decepciona.
Empezó muy bien y el final no ha sido tan bueno, demasiado raro todo lo del viaje al futuro.
. . Pero por las tres primeras partes merece la pena leerlo,
El dibujo a veces marea un poco, pero le pega mucho a la historia, Y Constantine es genial.
Es el primer comic de Neil Gaiman que leo y me ha animado a seguir leyendo más comics suyos.
Hmmm . I'm not sure about this one, There were moments when I had no idea what he was talking about, There were some really cool sections that got me thinking, Sometimes the font changed to a style that was difficult to read, Oddly, G and S looked alike, I own this, so I may have to try this one again at another time, I need to stop picking up Gaimans work just because hes familiar when I look at the graphic novels shelf.
The Books of Magic was fine, but not something Im interested in continuing, I really liked that every part had a different illustrator as it had a different tour guide for Tim.
I once read a breathless and poorly written article about how this book totally ripped off Harry Potter.
I mean, PLEASE: bespectacled English kid who can do magic DUH, That was the general gist of the article it also
pointed the plagiarism finger at Diana Wynne Jones for her Chrestomanci series.
It's just a shame that online articles can't be physically ripped into tiny pieces and stomped upon, Clearly, anything about bespectacled English kids who can do magic has to be stolen from Harry Potter, right Too bad the article author and this was published in the online edition of a respectable newspaper, mind you didn't notice that The Books of Magic and the Chrestomanci books referenced Charmed Life and The Lives of Christopher Chant were all written before Harry Potter.
And no one wears glasses in the Jones books, And the thousand other differences,th book read in.

Entretenido cómic de Neil Gaiman, aunque me ha gustado me esperaba más viniendo de este autor, la historia está bien aunque a veces me ha parecido liosa y en algunas partes no me he enterado muy bien.
El libro que más me ha gustado es en el que viaja con el Dr, Occult. La ilustrasciones están bastante bien también,
En general, el cómic está bien pero me han gustado más otros cómics del autor.
Bueno, leídos los cuatro tomos de esta historia, Me ha recordado un poco a “ cuento de Navidad” de Dickens por la historia, Pero el libro este último, para mi, es infinitamente mejor,
Una historia entretenida y únanos gráficos buenos, peto nada mas, al ser de Gailman esperaba algo más.
Wow! I've already read another comic by Neil Gaiman but this is truly a piece of art!
Timothy Hunter is a normal boy, or so it appears.
Four men approach him one day John Constantine, Doctor Occult, Mr, E and Stranger.
Of all these characters I only knew Constantine, The four propose to show the boy the ways of magic and put a choice before him to practice magic or to be "normal".
The four issues of this book are the travels he undertakes with each of these "teachers",
The first voyage leads through the past with the Stranger and we get to see Atlantis, Ancient Egypt, mythological creatures from ancient Greece and more.
The second voyage is with John Constantine through the present, during which Tim encounters several contemporary practitioners as well as magical creatures like werewolves.
The third voyage is with Doctor Occult, who takes the boy to the worlds parallel to ours Fairyland chiefly amongst them and we get to encounter a baba yaga as well as the queen herself, Titania.
The fourth and final voyage is with Mr, E, who takes Tim into several possible futures until they reach the end of time itself,
I must say, I'm used to topnotch writing from Gaiman but the story he conjured up here as well as certain revelations throughout the four issues defy description! They touch so many themes and not just on the surface, but delve deep into these realms in such an eloquent and intelligent way.
We also get a few cameos, namely which made this loads of fun.
Now, I know by now that there was a lawsuit again J, K. Rowling once upon a time, She was accused of plagiatism for using a lot of elements from this story for her Harry Potter books.
I have no idea if Neil Gaiman started that according to an old journal entry on his blog he didn't, but I do know that the accusations are rubbish and that it was therefore correct that the court dismissed the charges.
Yes, the boy especially once he has yoyo looks like what illustrators made Harry look like and it is about a young boy twelve who comes into contact with magic.
But that is where the similarities end no school, no ultimate enemy to fight, no prophecies, no friends and comingofage stuff,.
This book is so rich in wit and original ideas about what being human means, what imagination is and what it's for, guilt and absolution, faiths both ancient and contemporary, magic in all its forms, abstract concepts such as time, death and love and how one small choice can influence not just your own life but that of many others.
Everything has a price, there is always a consequence, And it is all done in a slightly scary and dark way especially the last issue,
And we get LOTS of puns and literal meanings of phrases which is typical for Gaiman.
Moreover, the art is simply stunning, Sometimes blurry or chaotic but then again, chaos is one of the abstract concepts explored here, At other times the images are extremely detailed and the colours always gorgeous, I'm not exaggerating when I say that this is beyond a doubt the best comic I've ever read, possibly even the best story I've ever read granted, I haven't read Sandman, but if that is "only" as good as this one, it'll be mindblowing!
No idea why this book isn't more wellknown throughout the world but I'm telling every person liking great art and an intelligent and meaningful story: READ THIS BOOK!.
