WHAT . JUST . HAPPENED !?!

[Samhain · Rating 5 out of 5]

Well, we all knew things were heading towards an awful arc, but I hadn't imagined they'd off so many characters in just two issues. Are they trying to compete with GRR?xD At least, sir Robot died thinking his family was safe, contrary to poor Doff who will never know if his sacrifice was worth it or not. I just hope Ianthe's wish doesn't come to pass, because yes Saga has turned me into a ruthless fuck and I want her to die a slow and painful death. She killed a dog, dammit! Let her blood dry completely before you finally put a bullet in her brain (because villains in stories have a tendency to never be truly dead so Fighting Villains 101 : never leave them for dead, leave them deader than death itself).Then, Marko makes sure to "accidentally" push The Will off that cliff, that way he hasn't broken his code. Then you all go back to Ghüs's homeworld, and you all live happily ever after and take care of poor Friendo who has been alone for months now!! Clean, and simple.

... They're all gonna die in a bloodbath, aren't they? :(

i gasped so loud at the last page that i inhaled too much air and immediately burped it back into the atmosphere

i'm shooketh

[Siona Adams · Rating 5 out of 5]

That was not the ending I was expecting... can't wait for the conclusion of the arc next issue!

[Kirra · Rating 5 out of 5]

This issue will probably be the second best of the story arc (because I'm sure the last issue will be the most intense and interesting) since it finally hit that climatic point of everything crashing down, worlds colliding and power shifting from one character to another. There was plenty of death and drama too as well as things that really made you gasp out loud.

The story feels to be dragging a bit

[Jess Marie · Rating 5 out of 5]

What? no! Why???

Curse this freaking graphic novel for being so amazing!! Dammit I need more. That ending W T F!!! I seriously can’t even comprehend right now it’s just that amazing and keeps me on my toes

[Alice · Rating 4 out of 5]

The blurb is definitely the understatement of the year.
"Uh-oh" is not sufficient to summarize what goes down in this one.

[Macdiel · Rating 4 out of 5]

A LA MIERDA.

[Tongchheng · Rating 5 out of 5]

SERIOUSLY?!!!

[Tim Nowotny · Rating 5 out of 5]

So many things happened in this one. Most very satisfying, some need to arrive at my heart still. But still somehow immensely satisfying.

[Sehrin · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow

[Hayley · Rating 4 out of 5]
