4.0
Sometimes the comic media gets lost in the superheroics and forgets to be relatable. This book is the best case of remembering the people involved in the heroics and to make them relatable to their followers.
I have always loved how science fiction can give us the oportunity to focus on an issue from an extrapolated point of view, and what better way to speak of the sadness, the tragedy and the anger in the face of the absolute impotence of figthing cancer than to make it happen to one who can fight intergalactic battles against forces that dwarf the power of gods? To see the people that love him fall short when they always come out victorious?
It's a powerfull story and it reminds us all that we're all mortal and vulnerable.
Beautiful.
