Feb 02, 2022Ka-Zar is an example of a comic that just got better as it went along, with this final issue being the strongest of the series by miles. Read Full Review

Feb 10, 2022'Ka-Zar: Lord of the Savage Land' comes to a stunningly gorgeous and extremely hopeful ending that leaves its protagonists in an evolved and engaging new place that hopefully, other creators pick up on going forward. Comics are a truly amazing medium and this story is a true example of what is possible within the medium when creators are given the ability to really take a chance and tackle characters or concepts that we don't always see in the superhero-heavy industry.

Feb 02, 2022Inventive, unconventional and like absolutely nothing else being published by Marvel Comics right now, Ka-Zar and the Savage land is a series that comes highly recommended. And, if you've happened to miss the five-part story as single issues, then I'd wholeheartedly suggest picking up the collected trade paperback as soon as it becomes available. You can thank me later.

Feb 02, 2022Ka-Zar: Lord of the Savage Land#5 marks the ending of the story, but in many ways, it also goes on hopefully for a long time. Its blend of nature vs. technology and how it reaches its harmonious end for Ka-Zar is satisfying. Read Full Review

Feb 02, 2022Bits and PiecesKa-Zar: Lord of the Savage Land #5 brings clarity and sense to the final issue of this series to explain it all as an allegory for the importance of fighting against Climate Change. Despite colorful art and imaginative set pieces, the outcome is always the same when creators forget one basic principle - Starting with a strong message instead of a strong story, never works.

perfect finale

A pretty good conclusion to a series I'm not sure anyone asked for. This series didn't always hit the mark, but it had its moments.

This series' Message (and it definitely has a capital-M Message) turns out to be nothing more than what's been hinted at all through:
Yay nature! Yay balance! Yay mindful stewardship!
And characterwise, Ka-Zar becomes an immortal super-evolver, now biologically as well as ideologically empowered to defend the Savage Land.
Great.
I don't object to this Message; in theory, I'm a big supporter of it. But I can't really enjoy it when it's articulated via prose that sounds like it was written by a weepy 16-year-old who just watched a deforestation documentary.
It also doesn't help that the previous 4 issues were just an amorphous dream journal foreshadowing this ham-handed finale. -
