My only critque of the book is that the plot line may not be the most original. It's so far just a sci-fi tale. What makes this stand out more than the others on the shelf is the animals, without them this book may get lost in a sea of comics. Read Full Review

Abnett and Culbard have introduced us to a majestically written and beautifully illustrated first issue with WILD'S END #1. The character development and story building that Culbard covers is fast and effective, as I was quickly enthralled with the plot and the cast. Clive Slipaway has a mysterious aura about him that just demands attention and easily makes him one of my newest favorite characters in comics today. Arrant with his curiosity and Fawkes and his rebellious nature are just as compelling with their own strong and unique personalities. The artwork here as mentioned earlier, is reminiscent of Petersen's Mouse Guard, perhaps not quite as detailed, but impressive none the less. A fantastic read and highly recommended first issue from this creative duo. Read Full Review

Abnett and Culbard have got something special with Wild's End #1. This is a surprising tale that sets up what could be an absolutely fabulous mini-series that blends two styles of story that I never expected to read together. This creative team is in tight sync and readers reap the benefits of their combined skill. I highly recommend giving this one a shot, I'll certainly be back for #2 and my guess is that once you've read this comic you will be too. Read Full Review

With a timeless look, a strong sense of character and relationships, and a twist ending that makes the conceit of whatever comes next incredibly intriguing, "Wild's End" is another Abnett and Culbard book not to be missed. Read Full Review

The tone of the first half is very lighthearted. Three quarters of the way through, however, all of that will change as this title mixes fantasy and sci-fi to perfection. Wild's End is definitely going on my pull list. Read Full Review

Anyone who enjoys the likes ofWar of the Worlds orWatership Down will definitely like this comic, but more than that, I think they'll find something new and interesting even despite the similarities. For myself, I'm definitely interested in seeing where this story goes from here. Read Full Review

Wild's End was an excellent debut comic. A well written story, eye-catching art, and intriguing characters are all part of Wild's End‘s perfect formula for a fascinating read. If you enjoy sci-fi stories, period pieces or just talking animals wearing clothes, Wild's End is definitely worth your time. It'll be exciting to see how this story branches out from here.

After the introduction of the conflict and the characters, it all comes together when Slipaway wants to find Fawkes in order to learn more of this bright light and robot that he witnesses. The whole comic is just a fun mix up of characters and aliens. I don't think I have seen an animal town based in 1800s with an impending alien invasion. For that simple premise alone, Wild's End stays true to its name. It is an interesting comic that will create some mystery and intrigue with all readers. It looks to be another good #1 issue from BOOM! so don't miss your chance of getting into a cool story wrapped in a completely different setting than anything out there. Read Full Review

Wild's End #1 is intoxicating and enchanting with a deadly sting in the tail. Read Full Review

So in the end, both aspects combine in the best way comics do; to create a whole that is far better than the sum of its parts. I'll be reading each issue of Wild's End as I'm interested to see if Abnett is playing with the readers expectations as to what we think is happening. But the real reason, in my heart of hearts, will be to view just one more panel drawn by I.N.J. Culbard. Read Full Review

"Wild's End" #1 is entirely exposition, but it's a strong beginning, falling short of being stellar only for its slow characterization work, but it succeeds at piquing the reader's curiosity about its characters' histories and motivations as well as what happens next when the aliens make more contact.

This is a book that deserves reading if you want a decent, contained story in a world that seems a little too familiar. It's not a bad first issue, but it isn't a splendid one either. Fans of animals, british humor and aliens ala 80's scifi should check it out. Read Full Review

I really wanted to like Wild's End" but this book was unimpressive. The artwork is just ok. The storyline dragged on slowly like a snail trekking through peanut butter. It not only left me with absolutely no desire to pick up the next issue, but I also just wanted to stop flipping the pages. I felt no care at all towards the characters and the little action the story did have just didn't capture my interest. Read Full Review

Teen Dog and Wild's End are two very different series that just happen to feature anthropomorphic animals. While I'm pretty on the fence about both after the first issues, I am curious to see which directions they take. For Wild's End, it appears as if it will be very dark. For Teen Dog, it will potentially very radical. Read Full Review

What will, hopefully, be interesting is seeing how the story progresses. There are six issues to be had, and I will bet that the real meat and fun of the series starts in #2. I would not be surprised at all if Wild's End makes for a much better read once the story is complete and all six installments are collected together, not spread apart. Read Full Review

Wild's End has the potential to be a fun ride. Who doesn't like a good alien invasion story? However, we've seen War of Worlds before, so I'm hoping there is some new spin on it other than just "WotW with animals." The characters have fun personalities and the protagonist especially appears to have hidden layers yet to be discovered. I hope future issues focus more on action, and the final scene in the issue was like the first shot fired across the bow of a ship, one that promises just that in future issues. Read Full Review

It's woodland creatures vs murderous aliens in this slight but entertaining tale that wears its influences on its (soon to be incinerated by a death ray) sleeves. Read Full Review

An Abnett and Culbard team-up is a must-buy in my book, and this issue won't be changing my mind on that. Alien invasions, a drunken fox, talking animals! Grab this book. Now.

Great start off to the series. So far it has a nice small sci-fi touch to a 30's small British community.

This promises to be a good series, but on the other hand, I've already read War Of The Worlds so I'm probably going to save my money for other titles.
