* More years have passed when Laila Starr, the now-mortal reincarnation of the avatar of Death, once again crosses paths with the future creator of immortality.
* This time at a party where the young man will have a life-altering experience that will shape him for years to come. Will Laila change his path in this one night, or the other way around?
I rarely come across a work so thought provoking, heartbreaking and unique. Poignant without being ponderous or heavy, drawn and colored like a dream, Laila Starr is a meditation on life, death, humanity and loss and how these things interact with and influence one another that sticks with you long after you turn the final page.

Laila Starr is the main character here, but its really he who will invent immortality, who is the center of the story. Theres a nice sense of duality between story and art and death and the man who will make it obsolete. Laila has lost much of the direction she seemed to have in the first couple of issues. Itll be interesting to see what kind of momentum V and Andrade can summon for her in the last couple of installments of the series. Read Full Review

The Many Deaths of Laila Starr#3 exceeded my expectation for the next issue after what I called the best issue I had ever read. It was just as emotional, creative, and beautiful, even as it took on one of the most difficult topics under the sun. Without repeating itself or missing a beat, this issue continues to prove that the series is, in fact, perfect and that its first two issues were not merely exceptional. Read Full Review
Life, death, regrets, and more are the topics covered within this fantastically colorful and inventively gorgeous and deep cautionary tale of an issue from what is one of the best comic books on the stands. This creative team takes the amazing work that has already been done in previous issues and elevates it to almost unbelievable levels. The story of Death/Laila Starr and Darius Shah is truly just the story of humanity itself, which makes it all that much better. Read Full Review
Minimalist drawings are highlighted by a color palate of pastels heavily featuring purples and blues. The combination creates a surreal, dizzying effect that matches the mood of the story. This issue is completely engaging and transportive. Read Full Review
Another great issue, as above my only issue is the preoccupation to still make smoking look somehow cool. It 2021 and I'm bored seeing movies, music and comics telling how cool I could look if I smoked. If I park my objections to smoking, this sad tale adds nicely to the gentle tapestry that Ram and Filipe are weaving. It's the kind of issue you read three times to ensure you don't miss anything. Oh and stop smoking, those things will kill you. Read Full Review
This is story telling at its absolute finest.
Wow. This series continues to emotionally connect. This month, we receive a soulful treatise on loss, grief, regret, and mortality as narrated from the perspective of a cigarette. My only regret is that we have only two more issues before this series ends. I'm not ready for it. I want to spend more time experiencing these stories, even if what they are building towards ultimately may not matter. As we progress beyond the half-way point of this series, I can't help but feel (in the words of "Laila") "the possibilities of what could've been begin[ning] to fall away, leaving you with less, each time more precious, to be savored, like a cigarette."
The Many Deaths of Laila Starr continues to be a "must read."
I love this comic
Colors are stunning. Almost every page surprised me.
