Bullet Review:1-star is more for the entire waste of time series.Buckaroo had 16 serial killers. What made this happen? It's surprisingly mediocre and not nearly worthy of dragging it out for 6 volumes. The Big Baddie feels pulled from a hat and when he is FINALLY revealed, it's lackluster.I'm mostly glad I'm done with this series and it's constant teasing of answers with more questions. Good riddance!
*More like 3.5 stars than 3*Not exactly the conclusion to the series that I was expecting to get but it was still sort of satisfactory. It gets points for actually making sense, yet I must admit it felt a little underwhelming and rushed.It was nice to see all the moving pieces come together as the truth was revealed at last. I liked that the truth only reinforced how crazy and fantastic Warren was as a character. He was a bad guy that mostly felt good (despite his nailbiting ways) who you couldn...
The final war with the master is here! He has plans to bomb the entire town by putting explosives in the flatline and we have him experimenting on Finch and then taking out both Warren and his daughter, also Abigail comes in and kinda stabs Shannon and then we have all of them brought to the place where the gauntlet happens and its disturbing and creepy but the real thing is when we find out the identity of the Master and the whole revelations from Alice as to what this test - "Murder gene" test...
(B) 73% | More than SatisfactoryNotes: Blathers a lot, just only shock for plot, so deathly disjointed, you leave it disappointed, and irked 'twas all for naught.
Fantastic series. The story, artwork, mystery, and everything else was top notch. A terrific read and well worth the time.
Pains me to rate this one so slow. It's more around a 2.5 but it's a little bit of a mess. With Nail biter 1-5 we got a few bumps along the way but overall it was well paced and interesting. This one felt very very rushed. I don't know if it's because got canned ot because Joshua just wanted it to end but it felt extremely rushed. What I liked: The art is still top notched. Love the way it all flows. The backstory of Warren was also interesting and liked that quite a bit. The end result was expl...
The ending for this was so bad, I laughed. I don't think the writers knew how they wanted this to play out fully. This series could have been something great if it was more thought out.
An ok ending to an ok story. I liked that they went for a really BIG ending, but boy does it feel like they had to cram a lot into the ending here. I wonder if this title was cut short for some reason? If you're interested in this title, it's worth picking up, but it's not going to blow your socks off.
Ahhh damn disappointed with the conclusion. Just info dumps from certain characters going the way you'd expect. Felt a little too clean and rushed in a way.
I actually really loving the ending.I know, right? Because this last volume doesn't exactly have the highest rating or best reviews.And that actually shocked me when I finished reading and started looking around at what my friends thought about The Bloody Truth. You guys didn't like this?! Whaaaaat?!It was far better than I was expecting. And yeah, Alice does give a huge info dump speech at the end to explain the hows and whys.But I has some serious reservations about this supposed big secret th...
The revealing of the truth we have been waiting so long for was disappointing. Utterly disappointing, after this great action that was the first five volumes. The ending left me hanging and I didn't know if I wanted more. I love Warren and Crane's chemistry but the ending was more confusing than anything. This could have ended as well as it started.
This series was quite a ride, and honestly I am somewhat relieved to have it end. It was intense to say the least. But regardless, great series. 5 Stars, would give more if I could.
"The thing is... I think people want the bad guys to get away with it.Because deep in their hearts, the hope that if they ever did anything wrong, they'd be allowed to get away with it."And now we finally know the truth behind that town that created/birthed 16 serial killers! I absolutely love how they handled this and the ending was just superb. I highly recommend this to ANY AND EVERY graphic novel lover, horror love, and serial killer lover! Read this series! 5 stars for the entire thing!
A bit of a letdown after some great moments in previous volumes. The whole thing felt very rushed. Maybe because Williamson signed an exclusive contract with DC? We do get all our answers which are great. But the ending was the stereotypical let the villain monologue everything to us while we wait for our moment, instead of just killing us. And then the stereotypical second death nonsense in the last few pages. A disappointing finish to what had previously been a fantastic string of books.
The last volume was rushed, but I still liked it, even the ending. I don't understand what people are complaining about, it's good it ended with this volume, anything more would be just unnecessary, boring filling. Anyway, great horror series and I'm glad I gave it a second chance.
I have a feeling that this story wasn't thought through properly.Stretched over 30 issues, the ending wasn't at all satisfying. "It's not about what makes a serial killer. It's about why..." What does this even mean?
I've read a lot of complaints (bad reviews) here, but I actually liked the ending a lot, especially the last issue. I found the whole thing very appropriate to the overall story, I'm glad they ended this at issue 30 and didn't decide to drag the story endlessly as it often happens in comics. Very good horror series!
Mini-review: 2.5 starsWell, that's one way to end your series, I suppose.I'll be curious to hear what others think about the way that Joshua Williamson and Mike Henderson wrap up "Nailbiter"; for my money, this was one of the weaker arcs of the series, almost solely due to the fact that it felt like Williamson was rushing to cram too much into too few issues (tinfoil hat time: I wonder if this series' ending at issue #30 was a result of Williamson signing an exclusive deal with DC/Vertigo last A...
Well that was sure an underwhelming, unsatisfying conclusion. We finally get the answers we were waiting for and they're really kind of, dumb? The whole finish seems rushed and not particularly well planned out, which is too bad, because the book had been getting better for awhile now. But it started out dumb, so I guess it finished the same way, everything came back around again. Oh well. I sure hope Williamson's Birthright doesn't pan out like this.
3.5 out of 5 starsFirst of all, I had no idea this was the final chapter of Nailbiter before I picked this up, and I am definitely not ready to say goodbye to these characters. As far as endings go, this one was somewhat satisfying. While I'm glad this volume provided all of the answers, I wish it focused more on Warren himself (though it did get there towards the end). The reveals could have been executed (no pun intended) better than a giant info dump, but hey, they had A LOT to explain since
