I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. I’ve enjoyed the series since issue 1 and can’t wait to see how Ennis pulls it all together.
It is a very enjoyable series that will make your jaw drop more than once.
I picked up the first two trades last night and I will be reading them when I get home and the hype is killing me! I can’t believe I have not heard of this book sooner?? Anyway; I heard a rumor at the store that this title is going to end around issue #67??
Does anyone know of this to be true? I am just getting started and now it will be over; Damn…figures.

I think this series ends at issue 70? Anyway, it’s a great book. The spin-off minis have been good, too.
72 is the exact number I believe. Sometimes I read this and I am totally in awe of Ennis’ creativity and imagination. Rarely does an issue go by when I’m not laughing hysterically or blown away by the storytelling. That said, there were a few slowish issues after the mid-point and the shock factor is reduced a bit. Ennis starts delving into back stories and the complex interweaving of past and present gets a little hard to follow. The story telling is fine, but very different from the first several arcs. I also had a difficult time adjusting to the new artists after Robertson left. Robertson’s art has a gritty, dirty feel to it that I felt matched the story better. The newer art had been more cartoonish in my opinion.
But all in all, I’ve really enjoyed reading this book. Now Ennis is winding up for the grand finale, so the anticipation is killing me.
Butcher, Baker Candlestick Maker has been an emotionally-laden, well written story. Definitely worth picking that one up too.
How fucking good was that issue, Jesus Christ. Just. So. Good.
This series is just so fucking good, it’s gonna be so bittersweet to see it go when it does but I can’t wait to see how ennis wraps everything up. Also, the ending of this issue, I almost feel bad for the dumb fucks from paralactic, things aren’t going to end well for them, not by a long shot.
