que no cause mala impresion el primer capitulo porque es el unico debil, lo que continua esta a la altura de miracleman como obra para reflexionar sobre que seria de la tierra si la divinidad se volviera algo de accecso global pero ahora centrado en los civiles y no en superheroes y es de agradecer que el arte sea tan cambiante desde lo abstracto a lo convencional y caricaturizado ayuda a entrar al mood de cada capitulo

People struggle to live in the utopia Miracleman and Miraclewoman have created.
The Golden Age is a collection of single issue stories, slice of life tales set in the world Miracleman and Miraclewoman have created. While well-written, not a hell of a lot actually happens.
It pains me to rate something Neil Gaiman wrote less than a four but The Golden Age is pretty boring. Parts of it read like a trial run for things he later made magical with The Sandman. Buckingham's art also feels like a prelude to greater things. I will say that The Golden Age feels a lot more polished and less dated than in places than Alan Moore's take on things earlier in the series.
I respect The Golden Age's place in the Miracleman pantheon but I can't muster a whole lot of enthusiasm for ever reading it again. Three out of five stars but it really had to work for them.

Gaiman raccoglie su di sè l’eredità di Moore e la rilancia, decidendo di raccontare l’Età dell’Oro dal punto di vista dell’uomo comune. Finora (numero 6) non si raggiunge l’epica disamina del bardo di Northampton, ma la delicatezza ed incisività di Gaiman nel tratteggiare il confronto con l’utopia, toccano profondamente.
Buckingham strepitoso nel suo espressionismo, nelle citazioni grafiche e versatilità. Edizione Panini rimarchevole perchè ricca di contenuti speciali e dietro le quinte.

I'm pretty sure that I was meant to read other Miracleman stories first. But maybe not. It was weird and beautifully illustrated and gave me lots to think about.
And available from the library!

A vast improvement over the Moore Miracleman stories in my opinion. I think Gaiman writes a god like character better and he also trusts Mark Buckingham more than any of the original artists. As Mist observes "if you can't care about the people, then what does it matter"
