Maniac Harry plus Opening Day at Yankee Stadium. YOU DO THE MATH! Civil servant-turned-angel-of-vengeance Gina Greene is determined to make this her final showdown with the Maniac. Can she finally destroy the monster that's haunted her all these years? And how much of New York will she have to burn to make it happen?
Each issue of MANIAC OF NEW YORK: THE BRONX IS BURNING features 24 pages of story and art with a cardstock cover!
Kalan brings things to a solid close here while also making sure there are threads to tug on later for more, which I'm certainly agreeable to. It's not a series that you could say is fun in that kind of fun-enjoyable sense, but it delivered a solid and gripping piece about a serial killer that terrorized a city and its inhabitants significantly for years. It's hard to know what the reality of it would be but as a piece of fiction it delivers all the right things with character and story. Andrea Mutti helped to elevate it even more with the visual design that gave us great characters and some really wonderful layouts and situational interpretations. Just the material in Yankee Stadium here is gorgeous in its own twisted way. Definitely a solid work that I'd easily come back to for more of in the future. Read Full Review
Maniac of New York: The Bronx Is Burning concludes not with a bang but with a much more realistic and sobering end. Read Full Review
The series could potentially end here, but there is clearly still a plot thread to be resolved about the museum, so I'll be waiting with bated breath for season 3.
As an end to this series. It's ok. It's pretty standard and not very complex. I did enjoy this volume and the last. It was worth the ride. I really just wish they would have done something with the little girl and the museum items they hinted at last series.
