Didn’t see that plot twist coming—but I’m not mad at how this series wrapped up. It really felt like a long-form meditation on death, time, and the choices we carry with us. I especially appreciated that no character was purely good or evil. The writers could’ve gone the typical good-vs-evil, action-heavy “defeat the villain and do better than the last generation” route, but instead they chose something much more nuanced. In my opinion, it became a thoughtful reflection on how our decisions shape not just our lives, but whatever comes after.
I also enjoyed the Tenet-like timeline jumps, which gave each character a chance to fully close out their individual arcs.
4/5 ⭐ — A strong ending to the series and stoked about who ended up becoming the new “Death” / “Grim Reaper,” and the effort they made to make guiding souls a more personal process.

If I had a nickel for every fictional character called Eddie I loved and lost, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice, right?
Review of advance copy
Ehhhh. I really wanted to like this more than I did.
The final arc of Grim kind of rounds up after 3 issues, and then hits a strange epilogue that kinda comes out of nowhere for the final two. In fact, there's another big "Huh?" kind of plot twist after issue 21 as well which had me scratching my head. Maybe I need to go back and re-read the rest of the series, but it feels like an ass-pull, and not in the good way.
It makes me wonder if this was the ending planned all along, or if this was just what the creatives came up with after they realised they were only going to 25. Like, there's some 'have your cake and eat it too' with the ending in that they manage to both kill and keep alive one character, which is weird enough, and then it introduces a new character in the final two issues that we're meant to care about, and...yeah, I didn't enjoy this in retrospect. Dropping a star mid-review, that's a new one.
The artwork's still phenomenal. I really love the neon colours and the expressiveness of Flaviano's characters. I just wish they were doing things that made a bit more sense and felt a bit more earned, especially since most of the last arc put the brakes on the ongoing story in favour of flashbacks instead.
Kinda disappointing, not gonna lie.

Jess must choose her future. Who will the reaper be? A good life is measured in its moments of stillness. Lots of time jumping. Unexpected sacrifice.
