Detrás de estos tomos están los guionistas más gamberros y originales del mundillo y solo son capaces de crear historias en las que la humanidad va sufriendo ataques que la tienen que dejar temblando (primera parte) y pseudocrítica al capitalismo (segunda parte). Bastante decepcionante.

Lo leí en los dos tomos Absolute menos absolutos que este mega Absolute. Ambas sagas me parecen excelentes y el tenerlas juntas en un libro quizás haría que promediaran hacia un 5 estrellitas redonditas. Pero así como suman sus virtudes, también han de hacerlo sus defectos. De todos modos, dejo abierta la puerta para cuando me lo pueda releer en esta edición. Y si me la puedo comprar y todo, mejor todavía.

la primera parte, con Ellis, está muy bien
la 2a parte, con millar, no tanto (ni el dibujo ni el guión)
