The detailed illustrations created by Andrade and Amaro feature a mix of colors. But, leans heavily on blue and purple tones. Although this edition features the same dreamlike quality previously uses in the series, it incorporates a realism that perfectly fits the ending narrative. I found this issue to be emotionally engaging and captivating. Read Full Review

As it rests outside of traditional narrative conventions in the comics medium, Ram V, Andrade, and Amaro have put together a pleasantly weird fugue of a dream for page and panel. Like many dreams, its got a wispy, ethereal quality that may be difficult to hold onto in a wash of other stories in other forms which present themselves in the future. Though its been a hell of a dream, there isnt actually all that much to hold onto. Starr is an interesting character, but there hasnt been enough in the course of the series to ground her in a compelling reality. Read Full Review

The best comic I've read in years, the best modern fable since Sandman, just incredible. Wow.

I usually don't give out perfect scores but this is an exception. Honestly it's the best comic series of this year hands down.

Wow. That’s really all I can say. The most important comic series that I’ve read all year, and this was a spectacular finale delving into some of the biggest, most difficult, questions in life. Ram V and Filipe Andrade have made an absolute masterpiece.

What a beautiful ending.
