Tercer y (al menos en apariencia) último arco de las nuevas aventuras de Tim Hunter, aunque esto la verdad es que es una teoría mía por como concluye la historia de este "Viviendo en la Posibilidad". Este volumen reúne varios arcos de la historia de Tim, empezando por la llegada a este Universo Sandman de John Constantine, que además de demostrar que sigue siendo el mismo de siempre, nos aclara en parte por qué Tim Hunter sigue siendo un crío después de tantos años (recordad que Constantine form...
Things improve again in this final part of the trilogy, as the story loses some of the slow and meandering tone it had had up to this point. The focus here is very much on all the bad things that Tim could grow up to be, and how they might be averted. There's an interlude in a magical music festival that has less to do with the larger plot (apart from introducing a new character), but it works better than the scenes in Faerie earlier on, keeping a tighter rein on events. The way that the antagon...
A spectacular and somewhat metaphysical timey-wimey end to the Books of Magic, with an appearance by Destiny no less, with the book of books, which I guess I should have seen coming. I've really enjoyed this trinity of volumes and wouldn't have minded another, but all good things are too much of an ending, or something like that.
Kat Howard closes out her time on the book by having Tim face an evil version of himself for the umpteenth time. The series gets remarkably better when David Barnett comes onboard for the last 5 issues. He brings in a new punk magic girlfriend for Tim in Izzy. They head to a magical Glastonbury festival before the final arc with the Cold Flame. Barnett does a bang-up job of closing all the dangling plot threads as things come to a head with the Cold Flame and it's a brilliant move. I love how it...
Sadly, this appears to be the last volume of the new Books of Magic, as the new Sandman Universe seems to be putting up the chairs and turning out the lights.The book opens with a single issue featuring John Constantine and Tim. I don't understand how we're getting old-universe John here, and it highlights the problem of this being a new-universe Tim, without actually offering an explanation. But beyond that, this is a nice, very classic story about choosing between right and wrong, even when th...
O que este O Universo de Sandman: Os Livros Da Magia, escrito por Kat Howard e desenhado por Tom Fowler tem de característico é a leitura rápida. Diálogos curtos e páginas com no máximo cinco quadros por prancha. Isso torna a leitura menos densa e, talvez menos importante do que ela deveria ter num thriller com ambientação mágica como é Os Livros da Magia. Nesta edição vemso Tim Hunter ser apavorado e assombrado por uma manifestação maligna sua, como um alter-ego sombrio. Antes que ele destrua t...
AKA Morals and Cameos. That's pretty much all this oversized volume has - cameos from Constantine, one of the Endless, and deep cuts from the Sandman all make their way into Tim's life, and almost always for the express purpose of providing morals that feel like a 'very special episode' of TV. While some of the story and characters manage to be interesting in and amongst that cage, this series has continued to be the least interesting of the Sandman Universe for me.The Constantine issue has an i...
Tim Hunter's world is turned upside down by the arrival of, in no particular order, John Constantine, his own evil doppleganger, a magical festival, and Destiny Of The Endless! Plus, the truth about the Cult Of The Cold Flame stands revealed, and one decision could change Tim's life forever...The first half of this volume, collecting the end of Kat Howard's run on the book, feels very reminiscent of the original Books Of Magic series, which saw Tim facing off against an evil future version of hi...
Basic Plot: Tim helps his father to remember before he confronts his dream self in another realm.This story is strangely disjointed, but still compelling enough to keep me intrigued. The characters all have secrets and depth. This plot was relatively straightforward, yet jumped around enough to make me wonder if I was missing something. The art really reflects the eerie, sinister mood.
Since the relaunch of the Sandman Universe books, Books of Magic has been phenomenal. I've thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Tim and the others from his world, as well as the way he has intersected with other parts of the Universe (including visiting The Dreaming, etc) Overall, it has been my favorite of the Sandman titles. (Please give us a book only about The Endless!!!)Highlights:- Evil Clone - A large portion of the first half of this book deals with Tim fighting against his evil doppelgang...
This volume was like reading two very different books. The first half felt fragmented, and I was constantly needing to infers and fill in the gaps to work out what I hadn’t been told. The second half was fluid and told the story in an engaging way, completing the story arc neatly. Only on looking back did I realise there were two different authors across the two halves. I’m glad I persisted to the end.
The adventures of Tim Hunter continue. While dealing with the threat of the Cold Flame, the potential threat of his ally John Constantine, and the introduction of a new friend Izzy, Tim's life is in turmoil. Will his "friends" be there for him?
Tim gets a kiss and is put on trial for murder before learning of a lead to his mother.
3 and a half stars. collects the last ten comics in this series, which is part of the new Sandman Universe project. Kat Howard's story uses John Constantine and pits two different versions of Tim Hunter, one young and untested, the other older and destructive, against one another to further the main storyline (in which practically everyone assumes that using magic will necessarily result in an evil will to power). when writer David Barnett takes over mid-way through to write the end of the serie...
