What an absolute trip.
In writing and visuals, this is peak horror delivered with unsettling effectiveness. The battle is on. The man that smile from the darkness is free and willing to kill anyone it must in order to get what it wants. As the plowmen make their appearance (not at all what I expected), the various players hurtle toward the confrontation that has loomed over them since the beginning.
But there are many questions still to be answered, and with so much uncertain--who can tell what the consequences of a decision might be?
This incredible team has raised the bar every step of the way through this series, and with all the pieces now in place, the fate of Gideon Falls is soon to be decided.
"But something else happened... Something slipped through the cracks in reality... something hungry. Something evil. Something crept out of the black eye at the center and took Norton Sinclair."

Well, the roller-coaster has gone over the top of the hill and has quickly hit peak velocity - there's no getting off the ride at this point, so buckle in kiddies because it promises to be a thrilling one! The action, explanations, and pacing in Gideon Falls are refreshingly fast and gripping, and I'm hooked. Fuck you, Lemire! Take my money!

At this point this series is just too weird for me lmao I feel like I might like it more a second time around but this one just really took me out of it

I tried to read this late at night in a strange house and I couldn't do it. It's just too creepy. So good.

I don't know what more you can say about a book other than it is totally out of your wheelhouse and you can't stop reading it. This wraps up this month and I can't wait for the conclusion. It is horror, yes. But it has a classic mind-bending sci-fi concept behind it and has slowly and patiently built a good repport with a solid cast of characters.

This volume feels like a lot of set up so for a good chunk. That said, the horror scenes are great and the art work is fantastic
