Budding Crisis Issue #5 Review: Boring End to Volume 1

I am not even going to rate this issue of ‘Budding Crisis’ by MK Reed, Jonathan Hill, and Allie Drake, because the plot-line continues to be random. Although, it is definitely the most boring edition of the comic-book series so far.

Titled ‘The Observer’, it follows two travelers, Drea and Cadeo, both carrying the magical Onamanthe seeds, which have become a rarity in the world. Cadeo is on a mission to deliver his seeds somewhere, and he doesn’t really trust Drea. Except for the fact that the first town they stay in is famed for talking animals, nothing interesting or fun happens.

Issue #5 is supposed to be the final chapter of ‘Budding Crisis’, so in that light, this was exceptionally bland. I could go on and ramble a little more about what happens, but really, I am not going to do that just to score some points with the algorithm (articles with larger word counts have better reach).

You should simply steer clear of this fantasy series, even though I’ve been pretty generous in my reviews of the previous issues. But if you still want to find out for yourself, ‘Budding Crisis’ is on Kindle Unlimited.
