Great wrap up for the whole story. I’ll definitely miss these characters but I’m excited to see the show still. I wish they didn’t change the comic style towards the end but overall really enjoyed!

Everything great about comics is in this book.
I can't talk about much without spoilers: every character gets pushed to new heights and new lows. Pains and trials are overcome. Amazing battles are fought.

While I didn't love some of the penciling in some of the later issues, I got over it because what dropped in overall detail was made up for in facial expression (you'll see). It was a guide of minimizing to accentuate. Anyway...

This book hit at just the right time for me. It's incredible and hopeful and challenging and raw. And heck of a lot of fun. If I had to read this one week at a time, I would have gone nuts a few times over. Thank God it was all buttoned together in this incredible series.

Best comic book series I've ever read. Great ending to an incredible story. One of the best book series I've ever read, but man would it have been a struggle to tell some of this story in a novel. I'm so glad this exists. I look forward to reading it again.

I... guess everything was resolved? Points for not leaving any loose ends
The character development kinda devolved though (characters lost their character development and this was not treated as any sort of 'progress isn't linear' narrative, seemed moreso to be something that had to happen for the sake of furthering the plot)
Personally I didn't find the ending satisfying: this series spends a lot of time asking about whether anyone truly knows what is best for the world/humanity, so
having Mark end up apparently being the person who knows what's best for the world, especially given that part of his character development was recognising that he struggled with that,
doesn't feel consistent

Really solid ending, you wouldn't think they would be able to wrap everything up in a satisfying way but it all works.
