Did you ever wake up to find / A day that broke up your mind?
The astronaut is falling. Someone is dead. Someone is dying. Someone needs saving. NOW.
I'm not sure what happens in the next, and final, installment of Change. I'll be there to find out though---and you should be too. This is the comic to hand to your friends who think comics are all tights and boobs. This is the comic to hand to your friends who don't have 'time' to read anything besides Henry Miller or Albert Camus. This is the comic to hand to anyone who wonders why you stare at pictures and word balloons all day so you can tell them, "because when done correctly they do THIS!" Read Full Review
Change is truly a work of art, and even by the third issue, nothing is certain. There’s definitely the sense of an end coming, but how it’s going to end, you think you know, but I don’t think anything is going to be that certain with this series. Read Full Review
It's hard to talk about something that you don't quite understand -- albeit in that delicious Grant Morrison way -- so this is going to be a short one. There's more one issue to go in this series and I'm still not sure where Change is going or where it's going to end up, but the moment-to-moment storytelling is so intriguing that I'm stoked to see how it ends -- and to reread it a few times to get a good look at the big picture.

Some reviewers will tell you that this story isn't for everyone, and I guess I agree, but don't let that stop you from experiencing Change. The words Kot conducts through Jeske's art come together as poetry, so even if you don't "get" the story, just sit back and enjoy the lyrical canter that it consistently trots out. In other words, don't fear Change. Embrace it. Read Full Review
Change #3 is written in a simpler form than #2, offers a lot of answers to a lot of questions, but offers no closure and no real conclusions. With a comic that is so easily polarizing to readers it is the mystery of everything, leaving nothing for readers to latch on to but their love of the characters to bring them back for #4. This comic will make you think, so if you're not in the mood then keep moving past this comic. If you're looking for something unique and thought-provoking then you should be reading change.

At heart, “Change” is as alienating a story as ever, and that's kind of the point. This is a metaphorical mash that probably won't quite make sense until the climax, when Kot and Jeske nudge all the pieces into place, and part of the suspense is the waiting for that moment. The trick is reconciling yourself to the waiting, and between the engaging writing and the off-kilter art, there's plenty to enjoy when you do so. Read Full Review
