MINISERIES FINALE
This is it! The double-length conclusion to the best company crossover in years.
We've seen all the beloved Millarworld characters together for the first time and watched as Nemesis murdered them one by one. But is there a chink of hope somewhere he's forgotten about?
This book is a must for fans of KICK-ASS, KINGSMAN, THE MAGIC ORDER, NEMESIS, and all your favorites.

    BIG GAME #5 is a flawless finish for a practically perfect crossover mini-series. Everything about Mark Millars script screams action, excitement, and adventure, and Larrazs art is inspired. BIG GAME truly is the superhero event of the year. Read Full Review

    I've been a huge fan of the Millar World titles since Hit-Girl's solo adventures. Big Game has been easily the best event book from any company in the last decade. Filled with shocks, massive action sequences and fan-pleasing heroic moments, this epic delivered big time. Read Full Review

    Like others have said, this is how you end an event. The world is changed and has brought in essentially every character Millar has ever written. This feels like a "Crisis of Infinite Earths' level event. A true crisis event. This is the best event in... what the past decade? Best since Blackest Night or Civil War (1). I cant think of any that come close since then. Correct me if I missed a great event since those ones.

    This is a cannot miss event. If you do miss it, catch up on at least some of Millars books and then read this. Proceed to enjoy.

    Hopes rest with Hit-Girl that she is not going to give up until she solves this cosmic disaster where Wesley Gibson seems to have the upper hand.
    Shocking closing of a comic that will make you feel good.
    This is the crossover of the decade.

    Pepe outdid himself in each of the pages of this comic, overflowing with details and dynamism.

    What began as the Millarworld massacre transforms into a masterclass in how to write an ensemble or crossover comic, Mark Millar moves your emotions, he will leave you breathless page after page without leaving you any other option than to continue reading.

    Now THAT is how you write a finale!

    My goodness, there is so much happening in this issue I had to read it twice for it to sink in. I'm going back for a third read and will work on my video review. (Please look out for it on my YT channel: Wakizashi's Teahouse)

    The art by Pepe Larraz is absolutely stellar. Wait 'til you see the detail in some of the action scenes and the way he draws all the characters. I need to get a physical copy of this. And I'm definitely picking up the trade when it comes out.

    This comic has made my day and probably my week. Highly recommended!

    It's not bad for a finale but it's a let down after the time travel aspect was leaned on so heavily here. It unravels quickly if you take a minute to think about it. As a popcorn comic book for Pepe and Giovanna to flex their art muscles it's good but as a proper story it feels weak. Still enjoyed it but I really hoped Millar wouldn't MacGuffin this event. Pepe Larraz was fantastic and it's obvious he spent many nights and days on this wonderful art. The art is 10/10

    The art and action are all good, but I really didn't need a retelling of Avengers: Endgame. I was not even a fan of Avengers: Endgame. Whenever you introduce time travel, you can't simply use it to erase the entire story, to resurrect your characters as it it was all a dream. I find that pretty lazy. I liked the beginning of this story until the time travel was introduced. Then it all went downhill for me. I did like Kick Ass being rewarded with powers and the Magic Order stepping in on a technicalilty.
