The comic is pretty cool, but honestly you should just watch the movie. One of those rare books where the movie is wayyy better than its source material.

I don't think Bunn stuck the landing on this. He ended each volume on a cliffhanger, even this concluding volume. It was an interesting concept and had great scenes and art but it just ended

I was left feeling about the same as I was when reading the prior volumes ([b:The Empty Man|23492434|The Empty Man|Cullen Bunn|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1440992928l/23492434._SY75_.jpg|43082683], [b:The Empty Man: Recurrence|42201531|The Empty Man Recurrence|Cullen Bunn|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1552227971l/42201531._SY75_.jpg|65814070]).

Okay, I'm getting off here. I like Bunn, but this is just taking too much to get into. You've got the million non-answer, answers about what is happening. Each one seems to contradict each other. I get that this is part of the point of the madness and trying to confuse/upset the readers, cool. The world is hard enough without that. Plus, I mean, any time I go through reading this much of a series to have a character suddenly announce at the end of a volume, 'Now that's over...now the REAL story (the war) begins!' puts me off. Now it feels like you're just clearly tacking on story to something you probably meant to end with this. So, I'm out. Best of luck to everyone staying on.
