DC cancelled this series so it got wrapped with a messy yet logical conclusion. In my opinion this was what the Buffy-comics failed to be : charming fun. What a shame the creators had to rush the ending. Looking forward to the tv series, based on this title : http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3501584/
Collecting the last 11 issues of the 28-issue series (almost 40% of the whole series), this book hits all the same notes as the previous 3 volumes, with its quirky, offbeat premise and humour. As far as the ending itself is concerned: I did not see that coming. Kudos to Roberson, Allred, and everyone else involved with this series! This was one of the most unique, surprising, and enjoyable reading experiences I've had in a while...
I was disappointed in the end of this series. I knew it would end, but this weirdly? Or badly? It wasn't quite as I expected. The whole Xitalu-end-of-the-world kind of thing? A little over the top. Not that the series wasn't already "over the top" but this just didn't work for me. I preferred Gwen's quieter, more "normal" brain-eating zombie life.Also, I didn't like it when some of the story was drawn "cartoony".Still, the series as a whole was fun and entertaining, just a bit of a mess at the e...
I'm wondering whether or not I ever loved iZombie. I mostly thought it was fine, and have always felt it was the kind of book that made me feel like I was eating candy on a hot day. I have always bought a new volume of iZombie when I had an itch for comics but nothing else to buy, and I just sort of pick up wherever it was and stumble along for the pretty art, because Roberson has this increasingly-terrible habit of recapping everything through voiceover, like, every five pages, so you couldn't
In order to review the last trade of iZombie, I feel like I have to review the entire series. Why? The comic only lasted 28 issues and as a whole, the comic was very entertaining. I was very disappointed to see the series end on such short notice. The idea was very original and fresh. It’s not just any other zombie comic, but it’s a zombie comic with the zombie telling us the story. It is not only about zombies, but it is also about ghosts, wereterriers, mummies, vampires, and other monster done...
In case you've read this series and thought to yourself, "Man, I sure do wish this was a TV show...only, I wish her name was funnier than Gwen. You know what would be hilarious? If she were actually named Olivia and went by "Liv" because get it? Live? And she's dead? Hahaha! Oh! Oh! Make her last name Moore! Liv Moore! SO hilarious. Also, I wish she had been an anal-retentive, goal-oriented med student before she died so she could come back, all Dead Like Me-style, and get a job where no one wou...
Well . . . that’s the ending of the iZombie series. Pretty much seemed like a phoned in rush job just to bring the series to a close. They might as well have called this issue “Deus Ex Machina” as almost every frame was like “Oh, here are some people that we need to be here to continue the story” and “Oh, suddenly we are all here where the important stuff is happening”.For a series that started off so well, I am disappointed that it ended this way. In fact, I am not sure you really need to read
Man, I don't know, this series really jumped the shark. I liked it much more when it was about a zombie girl and her wacky supernatural friends. I feel like it went from a fairly self-contained story, to a huge apocalyptic, unwieldy mythology in too few issues.
I put off reading this for a long time as I wasn't enjoying these as much as I hoped but I wish I hadn't as this was the best out of all of them. I really liked this one and as the monsters appeared I was a bit worried it may become a bit childish but it didn't ruin it at all. Great ending aswell. It's a shame this series wasn't what I was expecting but it had some good points.
BOO! This was a freaking weak ending. It was rushed, too many things were going on, and I didn't really like it. I'm so disappointed.
Well, that was a good ending, considering all the craziness that was going on in the last couple of volumes. I have to say, I wanted to read more about Gwen and her life as a zombie rather than about lovecraftian monster bring the end of the world. But still, I liked iZombie. It's a shame it got cancelled and didn't get to tell the story the way creators intended. Still, it was a good ride.
4.5I loved this series. The only bad thing I have to say, really, is that this last book felt forced. Almost as if they expected to have more time or more issues and didn't. All in all, very good!
Well, at least I can say I finished this one out, but the whole ending felt pretty much like a giant WTF fell out of the sky and landed on my head. Was that really the endgame Roberson had planned? And maybe everything about this cute little comic was leading up to some sort of weird tentacle monster apocalypse kind of thing. <--who am I to judge creative genius?I mean, it wasn't like it was an awful ending to the title or anything, it was just...odd.But at least everything is basically tied up
3 StarsReview:I still liked the pretty art, great characters, and fun supernatural stuff, however, this was my least favorite of the series. I liked it when these were just about a zombie girl playing detective with her ghost and were-terrier best friends, monster hunter boyfriend, and hot mummy acquaintance, but this volume went full-blown saving-the-world-from-the-apocalypse. The story felt a little out of control and was less character-focused, and the ending was one that I personally didn't
It's tough to give a verdict on this series. I know that it got canceled before the creative team wanted it to end. Which lead to a rushed ending, so all the loose ends could get tied up. Maybe the pacing would have been better if the book had been allowed to unfold naturally. Or maybe not, because the pacing had seemed slow to me through the first three volumes. I don't really mind the rushed feel through most of the book, because it does feel apt. But after the climax is a sort of epilogue tha...
Talk about going out with a bang - this book really manages to pull all the strands together and take the climax from Volume 3 and blow it out of the water. All the characters get time to shine, everything is tied together, and everything plays out very well. Some people live, some people die, and some people change irrevocably. This series is a gem, played out nearly flawlessly and ends leaving the reader wanting more.
Sad to see this end. Things got crazy during the series. I really liked it. Now that ending. Like what. Huh? I think it could have been ended differently. Of course, it had to be rushed because the series got... canceled? Oh fucking well. *sobs*And dude, the artwork throughout this entire series was sooo good. I loved it. Some of my favorite ever. I feel like it doesn't get enough credit for the art? People should give it a chance just for that reason. I feel that this series is underrated in al...
The last volume turned out to be the best. I loved the art and the story itself was nice and catching. The ending was quite weird but logical. Maybe there were too many characters which were not that significant or needed so the story got a little messed up. And what the heck happened to Horatio? Still that was an easy and fun read. It could be longer I guess but unfortunately this series was canceled. I haven't watched the TV show yet but after reading this I think I will. A lot of reviews say
2.5I know that this series got cancelled and so it's not entirely the creators' fault that this last installment is rushed and crammed full of stuff, after the rather slow (and at times plodding) build of the first three books.But even though the book had to be jam-packed due to time constraints, as it were, this doesn't really excuse the fact that Gwen was barely part of the first half of the book, then she finally makes a decision, only to be trained in something which would normally take a lo...
This was a first for me: the first time I've read a comic get rushed to a conclusion because it was cancelled. iZombie survived for 28 issues over four trades, and it's a bit of an abrupt end, but still a good payoff for what ended up being a solid series after a few missteps here and there.The first couple chapters/issues are very "...huh?" inducing, and then things pick up really, really quickly. There's a lot of plotting and a lot of action in a little time over the course of the rest of the
