"THE PENTOCULUS," Part Three
As a vicious psychopath terrorizes small-town Gideon Falls, the mysterious Ploughmen finally reveal themselves... but are they too late to stop the massacre?
Gideon Falls has passed the point of being a surprise at this point, but its remarkable consistency is what keeps it among the best comic books over the last two years. Read Full Review
I really wish we could have seen the concluding issues of Gideon Falls‘ latest arc before the end of the year, but now I'm really hoping the timeline doesn't fray too much so I can go into 2020 looking forward to parts 4 & 5. Lemire, Sorrentino, Stewart, and Wands have crafted a fascinating book and the fruits of their labor are plenty and apparent. If you're not reading this in single issues, you may want to reconsider it and definitely want to plan on buying the trade. This is a tour de force of horror executed brilliantly, and leaves you… starving for more. Read Full Review
A nice change of pace that finally gets readers out of the confused multiverse and into a world that has clear objectives for its characters. Read Full Review

THE GOOD:
-Another phenomenal issue.
-The opening scene here was really atmospheric and creepy.
-Andrea Sorrentino is just so good. He even manages to make ordinary panels look amazing.
-I just love Norton and Doc Sutton together. There's not even anything explicitly special about their interaction this issue, their characters just work so well together.
-The Ploughmen were pretty much just what I was expecting and it was great.
-Angie and Wilfred's story went from my least favorite to my favorite. Their interactions felt really genuine here, and I love the silhouettes. It was a nice twist to a scene that was pretty much just talking.
-Damn. Angie's backstory more
This is one of those stories where the unraveling of the weird plot doesn’t ruin the whole thing for me.
This book was a huge tease but it did such a good job of setting up all the pieces for what seems to be explosive next issues. This introduced a new story with the diner guy and took all the characters we know and put them into place. It was really well done.
This was a solid issue, that was less spectacle and more talk-y than the usual Gideon Falls issue. I think my enjoyment of the series drops a little when it's not as much of an avenue for Andrea Sorrentino to show off his art skills. There are certainly interesting parts of this mystery, but I'm not as invested in that as I am in seeing cool ideas drawn on the page.
