im staying out of this thread for spoiler reasons since im still back on like vol.4 or 5…but great series…sad to see it go. but its awesome.

DS · January 30, 2008, 9:49pm

Definitely one of the greatest series I’ve ever read.

Agent 355. :sad:

I’ll read those interviews at home tonight. The series ended hella quick. It felt like I had just gotten issue 1 yesterday. I’m gonna miss this book. Pia Guerra’s art was so good, too.

Vegett0 · February 1, 2008, 3:11am

I forgot the final issue came out this week…but I finally got around to it. I don’t read many comics but this has always been one of my favorites. I’m also going to miss this series and I’m still :sad: about 355.

Thanks for the links on the interview. :tup:

Last Issue

That Ampersand scene was powerfull.

I’m glad the last issue wasn’t all gloom and doom, like the cover suggested. Great ending.

FreddyL0c0 · February 1, 2008, 7:23pm

mannn, what a finale. Amazing how much depth was put into those characters. Yorick completely changed compared to the first issue.

are they really going to make a movie of this?

Grog · February 2, 2008, 4:09am

I’m still pretty much a Marvel only reader, but looks like this is something worth picking up. Would i still be able to find issues in stores or should i just search online? Thanks

4Play · February 2, 2008, 5:17am

Pick up the TRADE, BABY!

hell today I checked out vol 1 and 2 from the library:looney:

DS · February 2, 2008, 6:54am

None of those back issues get reprints and most of those back issues are already sold out. Best to get the trades. And they’re cheaper, too.

Gasp · February 2, 2008, 9:16am

i stopped reading around the time they

FDSF

Spoiler

got to san francisco…everything just turned into 10 paragraph speech bubbles and i got kinda bored

does it pick up after that?

DaDesiCanadian · February 6, 2008, 10:28pm

There’s tons of action, but it’s still pretty much always a bildungsroman/plot driven story.

Ninja_Wallace · February 12, 2008, 10:03am

The finale was amazing. Yorick’s a nut.

defcon · February 16, 2008, 4:12am

wow i just read the first issue out of sheer boredom.

and i just gotta say DAMN.

lucky i got a long weekend and nothin but time for the rest of the series

edit: dialogue is hilarious!

Flashback Yorick visiting Grampa @ nursing home:
Little Yorick: It’s me. Yorick.
Gramps: Yorick who?
Little Yorick: Ha ha, hilarious. … Hey how come there are so many women in here?
Gramps: 'Cause women live longer than men.
Lil Yorick: Why?
Gramps: 'Cause they suck all the goddamn life out of us.

holy hell. the climax of this story had the momentum of a bullet train. SO much madness in those last three to four issues.

vertigo pwns comics.

lol at BKV’s yorickian response to that question. i think it clearly discounts the explanation offered in #60 though.
