Place this book at the bottom of your stack.  When you are done reading about Superheroes fighting evil, soldiers fighting for their principles, and squids fighting for their right to tentacle rape schoolgirls (I’m sure someone on this site reads that sort of thing), pick this comic up.  Do not read it like it’s an Avengers comic or Brightest Day, give each page some breath.

Many of the issues of this series walk the fine line of hokey.  Occasionally, largely due to the language used, the story would falter, and an issue might fall on the wrong side of the hokey line.  On its own, this issue would have been perilously close to hokey.  But as a denouement, this issue was a beautiful kick to the chest.

If Josh Flanagan isn’t in tears at the end, I’m calling social services and having his kid taken away.  If you aren’t in tears at the end, then you have no soul, and you should go back to your Red Robin comic (which was also awesome, but in a completely different way).

  1. Dug on this too.

    It was a strong ending for the series and really a much better read for me than the last issue.

    I didn’t cry . . .

    But the movie Machete made me tear up.

  2. Yes.  This.  Maybe it’s just because I have a son on the way, but I choked up while I was reading the letter and then flat out bawled like a little baby when I read it to my wife, later.  And I’m man enough to admit it.  

    "This," I thought.  "This is exactly right.  This is what happens.  This is how it feels."  I can’t remember the last comic book that made me say that.  I don’t know how it feels to punch Venom, or fight off invading forces from the universe where life won, but I know how to feels to life with my heart on the outside, now.
