Grant Morrison's 18 Days Volume 5: The Fall - Sarwat Chadda (2017)
Genres: Graphic Novel/ Fantasy/ Mythology/ Science Fiction
Pages: 143
Rating: 8/10
Themes: War/ Honour/ Rivalry/ Clash of the Titans
Opener:
“Run… run! But there is no escape! My sword thirsts for you all!”
Summary:
Bheesma continues to wreak havoc across the battlefield. This volume finally has the awaited clash between Bheesma and Arjuna.
Verdict:
First up, I am rather sad there are no further volumes to this series. And I am including in this review my thoughts on Grant Morrison's 18 Days #26 too. This volume builds up to the epic clash between Bheesma and Arjuna. Bodies continue to pile up and the Pandavas need a plan to stop the juggernaut called Bheesma. Towards this, Krishna sees an opportunity to use Shikhandi to abet in Bheesma’s downfall. I was enjoying this sci-fi rendition of the Mahabharata and found it disheartening to see that the series was called off midway through. I would have loved to see how the clash between Arjuna and Karna would have panned out in this setting. This comic series was a joy ride while it lasted.
