It was such a satisfying ending. I do hope the journey doesn't end here though,

Honestly, the less time spent on the villain and his pontificating the better, as far as I'm concerned. He's nothing but a bore, and I wish that the same care given to the historical context and Elena's characterisation had resulted in a more compelling antagonist. That being said, the resilience of community ties here, and how they come to Elena's aid both personally and professionally, is really enjoyable to read. I'm glad she ends the arc of this particular volume as a working journalist again, rather than some sort of mystical hero, because the former is both much more needed, and much more interesting than the latter... at least it is to me! 

I've got the follow-up volume to this, so I'll be reading it soon because I want to see what happens next.

bringing back the age of heroes??? If Bellcamp don't take his unoriginal villain a** off my screen ＼(｀0´)／

Great comic, wish it were longer (could have been 70+ issues and I'd have wanted more tbh). Looking forward to seeing more Abbott (and fingers crossed Amelia) in Abbott 1973

A solid ending for the story thread, and again, loved the illustration style.
