Really nice ending with a good twist but not necessarily the happiest of endings. As a series it is a lot of characters to learn for a relatively short series, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. I think I would have preferred scaling it back a little bit (fewer issues and fewer characters) or adding a few more elements to the story and going for another ten issues since there were so many subplots going on anyway.

Though I knew the murderer as soon as he was on page, the ending of this small town drama was still very satisfying. Especially how Robert’s story wraps up makes the maxi-series one for the memory.

The Grass Kings is a fifteen issue limited series concerning a squatter's outpost and the mysteries therein. The small community is called the Grass Kingdom, and its inhabitants are people with troubled pasts who want to be left alone. The sheriff in the next town over does not like the citizens of the Grass Kingdom and is concerned about a potential killer in the area, which the Grass Kingdom might be harboring.
Vol. 3 wraps up the 15 issue arc, in a satisfying if predictable manner. And while the Grass Kingdom does come under siege from the Federal Government, the real concern surround the serial killer mystery.
Tyler Jenkins' art and Hillary Jenkins' coloring are brilliant standouts. Tyler is able to highlight the gritty, pulpy type of art that this type of story needs quite nicely.

Like the world and the story. Dig the art. This volume felt super rushed. Were they planning more issues but got canceled?

Okay so.... I saw it coming and had to knock a star, but otherwise I loved the art, the setting, and I love the idea behind the villain. I could read so much more about the Grass Kingdom, even if it's mundane backstory...

But of an anticlimactic, hurried ending.
The shootout with the feds also doesn’t make much sense. All in all wrapped up an interesting premise into a pretty weak package.
Artwork quite impressive though.

Reading this in volumes I felt that the first volume git me interested but the second went in a different direction than expected. This third volume just wrapped things up so easy. I wish we could have spent more time with the people of the Grass Kingdom rather than switching focus to the murder mystery. Still the illustration was wonderful and I enjoyed it overall
