AV Book 4 (Last)

Rating:★★★
Category:Books
Genre: Comics & Graphic Novels
Author:Steve T. Seagle, Cloonan, Rugg
I coughed up 900 bucks to complete my collection of this series. I then spent about an hour reading the work. I came out of the whole experience badly bruised.

It is anti-climactic to say the least. Nothing happened. And maybe because we are in a post-modern world, the protagonist's mission has to end in failure and in _ _ _ _ _ (I do not want to be a total spoiler).

Looking back at the whole, I can say that the excitement in the story-telling ended in the second part. Those in the third and fourth are possibly solely money-making ventures. Maybe the publishers are saying "We can't let go of a good idea that has intruiging premise as its foundation! Let us make more! There are people like that Jules Hernando whole fall into our trap!"

It seems to me that my only consolation now is that I have collection. That AV is now complete and I learned what is at its end.

I have so far completed two comic book series; the AV and Shazam!. And I am not very satisfied with my choices. I hope, Bone does not leave me feeling robbed too. The same goes to Thor.

  1. Cher, i prefer reading DMZ in the same Vertigo line. It feels closer to home than other comics really do

  3. Spence, what does DMZ stand for? Sorry, I do not want to research anymore.

  4. Demilitarized Zone, in the comic America experiences a second civil war in New York with the American Government vs. The Free States (the rebels)

  5. Interesting premise. I'll take your word for it... but that does not mean that I'll go to the comic store right away.
