After taking out her anger on the Paragon cabals in a big way, there's nowhere in Los Angeles' four magical territories that Nina can hide. Good thing she's done hiding. It's time to throw down.
So, in case I haven't made it clear enough, this book was just the latest amazing chapter in an amazing series. If I could only recommend one book to you, this would be the one. Read Full Review

BLACKBIRD #5 shows Sam Humphries's powerful storytelling using emotion as the theme. Jen Bartel compliments Humphries's writing by illustrating the mood he sets for each scene. She also leaves room to express symbolism. Triona Farrell's coloring plays a part in symbolism as well while continuing to provide lustrous color. Read Full Review

Blackbird #5 is one of the more intense issues in this series, which is saying something. It's absolutely worth reading if for nothing else than to see the gorgeous artwork and dramatic reveals that occur within its pages. Read Full Review
As we get to see more of the world of paragons, so Jen Bartel's art gets the space to flourish in brilliant design. These pages are like a box of treats, with each panel beautiful and almost shiny.Some of the references in Blackbird go slightly over my head as a non-Hollywood, non-American reader, but none of that detracts from a stunning and fascinating series. I thoroughly recommend Blackbird. Read Full Review
The big revelation at the end of the issue delivers quite an impact. In a way it feels as though the end of the fifth issue reaches a resolution on so much that it almost reaches its own kind of ending. Not everything is resolved, but the central mysteries set-up in the beginning of the series have all been revealed. Humphries and Bartel could take the series in an infinite array of different directions from here. It will remain to be seen if they can keep the satisfying balance that they had achieved in the first five issues. Read Full Review
Now that's really good!
