But Why Tho? - Max Funkey
Mar 20, 2020Family Tree #5 felt like a sucker punch. From the unexpectedly heart-wrenching beginning to the devastating conclusion, every moment of this story hits like a freight train. I was stunned by the end of it. I knew this series was special when I started reading it, but I truly believe this will go down as a classic. Read Full Review

Mar 18, 2020This was certainly the most exciting issue in the series to date and it promises more of that excitement in a very different form; I can't wait to see how that looks. Read Full Review

This is a very heartbreaking chapter in the Family Tree saga. Lemire is great at writing families fighting through distressing, traumatic situations (as evidenced in his Animal Man run too). I'm very excited to see what'll happen next!

Still carries the momentum for Issue 4. There is no action, but unlike Issue 3 what is happening still moves the story forward with much intensity and emotion, and the dialogue by Lemire reflects that. Very intrigued to what will happen now.

It is still intriguing though the pacing is a real issue. The characters are not great either especially Loretta though an exception can be made for Judd and Josh.
