4.5 STARSReview here: https://youtu.be/4XTuWS7sOds

But why is it over so soon?!?! 😭😭 15 issues, 3 volumes, is not nearly enough of Willa and a low-G world! This was such a cool series and I'm really sad to see it end. I loved so much of it! And I especially like how this volume turned out. Love love!

The artwork of Antonio Fabela continues to impress me. It's bursting with colour and movement, and does a fantastic job of illustrating the tension and speed with which this story moves. Willa gets to meet a part of her past, while the antagonists of previous issues are out to get all they can, and hurt Willa in the process. That Willa is already moving past them is wonderful, and the ending of this story (no! I want more Willa!) wraps up things nicely, while leaving things open for Willa to fin...

The story is nicely wrapped up with all loose ends accounted for. It felt too abrupt to me for such an epic story to come to this quick a conclusion. It also felt less emotional overall. So while the story is finished, the brevity and lightness (pardon the pun) of it lessened my enjoyment. Still decent, though.

They could have done a lot more with the premise and it tries too hard to come off all witty and quippy like a Marvel move, but overall good comic and ending.

Hello!I am going to start by fully admitting that I intended to post my review for Thunderhead yesterday (I had like 20 pages left when the day started) however, the day got away from me, just like much of this week has and it just did not happen. However, I did end up finishing those 20 pages, and reading the entirety of the last volume of Skyward! I also ended up starting an ARC I have on my Kindle but we will talk about that later. For now, let's talk about the end of Skyward!SPOILERS AHEADIn...

When I reviewed the second volume of Joe Henderson and Lee Garbett’s Skyward, I said that this could be the next Y: The Last Man, in that both titles embraced the world-building based on a simple, but unique sci-fi premise, whilst being rooted in the exploration of relatable characters experiencing the extraordinary. However, this third and final volume never quite reaches the near-perfection of the Brian K. Vaughan/Pia Guerra comic that ran for sixty issues. That said, all good things must come...

I’m not sure why I never finished this comic - perhaps the slackening of tension apparent in this volume showed up earlier too. The problem isn’t the protagonist - one of the most dynamic and fun to read about in recent Image runs. It’s the antagonists - by this volume the initial Luthor-esque villain has been reduced to comic relief and his bug-riding replacement is, well, just a bit of an idiot. The plot winds down long before the end, loose strings are tied up with bows on, and it’s all a bit...

3.5 not sure if it's just been too long since I read the last volume or if I'm tired, but this one didn't do much for me sadly!

I liked this wrap up pretty well. Could the story have been fleshed out more? Of course, but it’s a three volume graphic novel there was always going to be room to flesh out more. The story was a little rushed and maybe could have been 4 volumes, but despite that I did enjoy it. I love the art work and the crazy sky dancing that Willa does. She finds what her father had hidden in Kansas City, but will it be enough to fix the world and save Chicago? Will the side adventures take over and lead Wil...

Many are the series or books that start off with a great premise, full of energy and interesting characters and then end without fulfilling that promise. this is one of those series. It ended and was a happy ending without solving all the problems so I felt satisfied at the end but really disappointed. First, Willa never really evolved much over the last volume. No really crises of self to overcome and the big problem "stopping the insect farmers from taking over the city" felt very forced and w...

Skyward finishes kind of eh verses how good it started but still fun. We find out the secret Willa's father had this whole time. Is there really a way to turn off the gravity? Who's behind this all? What is this new secret society in hiding? Will the bad guy finally get his fucking teeth knocked out? It is all answered here. Willa is still a great main character and the pacing is quick and never boring here. However, the story itself takes predictable twist and nothing really surprising. The art...

This was a nice ending. A little stereotypical, but good.

When we last saw Willa, she was on her way to Kansas City. She’s decoded the treasure map in her father’s journal, even though she’s not entirely sure what it means, and it’s time to fix the world. Meanwhile, Edison is in Chicago, where his story of giant bugs sounds like a lie to those who haven’t seen them before. It’s not. All hell is breaking loose but it’s okay because Willa has an idea. I wasn’t sure how to explain the wrap up of this series because everything I want to say

It was rushed.

2 starsThe concept was interesting, but the execution fell short. The ending felt really rushed.

*3.75I guess I'm glad that vol. 2 set me up for what to expect here. I came out of vol. 1 with far too high expectations and was sorely disappointed. But I went into this knowing what I would get - a dramatic, cartoonish, highly entertaining graphic novel with stunning artwork. The plot doesn't really hold water, but you don't read these for the plots. You read them for the fun.I don't have a lot to say about this one. There was a reveal that was pretty dang disappointing: (view spoiler)[We can'...

This volume was the last volume in the story. As a conclusion goes, this book was great. I loved the development, almost everything coming full circle, and the characters finding out who they truly were. The art was fantastic, and the storyline was wrapped up very satisfyingly.However, the only problem I had was (view spoiler)[ the moms relationships. She was married, and she believed the man she loved dead, and after years and years, she fell in love again, and got married once more. I don't kn...

I did enjoy this and am sad to see it’s the final issue/volume but it wasn’t my favorite and it took me foreeeever to finish this one. But overall, I enjoyed this world and think Image comics really is so amazing and publishes such good stuff.
