This Ends Tonight #1

Finally, the writers Gerry Duggan, Robert Windom and Kelvin Mao took some risks with THIS ENDS TONIGHT. However, I believe they hit a home run with issue #1. The story is very captivating and engaging. Thus, it pushes you from one panel to the next, to one page to the next, all the way through almost 40 pages of storytelling. Of course, you might feel disoriented. You might find yourself flipping backwards to see if you missed anything. But this will leave you wanting more. I know, because that's exactly how I felt Read Full Review

This first installment is a twisted trippy blend of Reservoir Dogs-level violence combined seamlessly with a fantasy twist. A great script combined with the right choice of art team for the story being told elevate the whole affair to something darkly subversive and intriguing. Read Full Review

Le delivers beautifully detailed and stylish art throughout the issue. I love the art style of this issue and how it balances the beauty of the characters and the brutality of the action. Read Full Review

It's a fun issue. And perhaps things will settle down a little bit more in the mid point next month. That would allow enough of a breather for the whole premise to finally sink in. As it is, things need to move very, very quickly in order to grab the reader and haul them through what it is that needs to happen. The disorientation is a necessary part of the overall premise because without it, we don't necessarily feel what Katie feels and thats a very big part of the story. Read Full Review

This Ends Tonight #1 delivers a blood-soaked, high-speed thrill ride packed with gorgeous visuals and cryptic mythology, though its storytelling sometimes gets lost in the frenzy. Still, it's a must-read for fans of stylish ultraviolence and ambitious worldbuilding. Read Full Review

This Ends Tonight #1 has some interesting things going on and in the long run could be better with the whole series, but it fails to execute on its more complex ideas and currently doesn't stand on its own. Read Full Review

Beautiful art and great action. It seemed to go in circles a bit, especially when repeating the title of the book a number of times in the dialogue. It was still a lot of fun and mostly introduced the characters and world well enough for a first issue. Can't wait to see where this goes.

Alright … I’m sorta still processing this comic - I will say that This Ends Tonight is by far the weirdest comic book I have read all year. As it went along it began to border on being nonsensical. It starts off with a straight forward concept told in a very cinematic style, then by the staple things are getting a little kooky. I think I liked it … I don’t really know. The art is fun and moves across the page … but I’m afraid the story was just too fragmented and a little too far “out there” for me to recommend.
