This series is so cool. As the ghosts of the James House and the Nuclear Bastard battle each other across the landscape of America, a quest for one remaining ghost will reveal the final secrets which threaten to undo everything the Home Sick Pilots have struggled to protect.
Brimming with punk rage and the desperation of youth coming of age in a chaotic world of existential angst, the finale to Home Sick Pilots looks at the changing of eras, the violence of nations and families, and the ghosts that get shoved beneath the surface. The series is glorious punk rock defiance tempered with the reality that youthful dreams sometimes shatter under harsher realities. It's a boldly exciting paranormal horror adventure that also has a lot to say about the world we live in.

The final volume in the Home Sick Pilots comic series totally "rips". An epic conclusion to a far out story. It's bananas and well worth investing into 3 volumes for the complete narrative.

Pretty much just a direct continuation of the second Volume, but one that manages to tie everything together with a beautiful little bow at the end.
Art is beautiful as always, and I will not stop recommending this series to anyone I think would like it.

3.75 | The ending felt a little rushed, and I wish I had gotten to know more about some of the other ghosts in the house more. I also sometimes felt like the heavier historical/political themes could have been addressed in a slightly more subtle way. This series was definitely outside of my comics comfort zone, and I’m glad I read to the end!
