For such a well written story throughout this run, the last issue does seem a little bit chopped up and crudely cut uncharacteristically enough for you to notice something is off and things may have been changed, but it's still an outstanding comic book with incredible art. Plunge is a great read, and if you love comics and you love horror and/or science fiction then this is an absolute MUST. And that last page reveal? BRING IT. Read Full Review

This is a great final issue that surprises, offers resolutions, and even has a solid foundation for future stories to be told. All told, this series has been one of the best horror stories I've read in some time, maximizing the human element, keeping readers on their toes, and offering a monster that feels entirely unique.

Plunge #6 doesn't stick the landing. It crashes hard. The series was one full of mystery and such interesting concepts and ideas. The package just doesn't come together and jettisons all of them for a standard ending that's been done before so many times. I wanted to see how this series ended but when I got to the end, it actually lessens what comes before spotlighting that it was great ideas with nowhere to go. Read Full Review

So when its all said and done, Plunge #6 delivers an ending that is adequate, if not quite as much as I had hoped for. It ties up its story well, and leaves each character in a place I can accept. If this team ever got back together to deliver another tale of horror Ive enjoyed my time with Plunge enough to get onboard for another go. Read Full Review

If you've made it this far into the series, you'll surely enjoy this conclusion, even if the book ultimately feels like an homage to prolific storytellers that offered us more surprises. Read Full Review

Well, I found that largely satisfying if maybe a little rushed.

*** Reviews the entire Series***

Well, that concludes Plunge, the final book out of the Hill House Comics line. I really enjoyed the entire line of horror infused goodness, It was a real treat, and I really hope Joe Hill is planning to launch a new set of horror comics later in the future with DC. Onto Plunge, this is the second horror series written by Hill under DC after his first successful series, Basketful of Heads, which I thoroughly enjoyed, and it was overall a good series.

Plunge stands tall on its premise and the ideas it presented. A lost ship called the Derleth and its crew disappeared forty years ago in the Bering Strait, but fast forward to the present, its beacon begins giving off a signal again. We then jump into our cast, Captain Carpenter and his crew, the ever shy Dr. Lacome, the lovely diver Morah and her companion Bill, and more as coupled with unusual behavior of the ocean, they set off to understand the situation.

The ideas presented have me an eerie chill that hooked me in. But on delivering on its concept, the water was a little murky. We learn a great deal about each character we are presented, but I don't feel I have seen enough to really invest myself into them. So when certain characters die for an example, it doesn't impact me all to much. Its not that Joe Hill didn't do a bad job writing, its more that with the ideas he had, six issues probably wasn't enough for me to fully hop on board despite being relatively interesting all throughout.

The writing, especially the dialogue was quite fun actually. Matched by some great art by Stuart Immonen and colors by Dave Stewart. Perfect for the story Hill sets up. The worms and what happened to the crew of the Derleth was the scariest part. jesus. But it didn't have this shock scare to it. More like a subtle approach, again contrary to what I expected, but I very much welcome it. The whole series for that matter is subtle, too subtle in certain aspects, which kind of drags and loses interest issue by issue up until the final issue, and warrants a TPB read.

However, the final issue does wrap up the series handily. Still, I did not enjoy the series as much as I wanted to. For such great ideas, its momentum and character work didn't grab me into this story given six issues. I'll quote this phrase " it intrigued me, but it didn't excite me ". Regardless, it was a good series handle with well from HillHouse.

This was a fine ending. The monster was cool. The story was nothing special though, and the last two pages made me roll my eyes, honestly.
