"KIDS LOVE CHAINS," Part Five-Finally... it's all come to this. What awaits our heroes at ground zero? What is the nefarious Father Lowe up to in that basement of his? Who the hell is narrating this book? Where am I? What's happening?? Find out... in "KIDS LOVE CHAINS," Part Five!
Geoff Shaw's art continues to amaze. The lines cross worlds to capture features, faces, and moments with patient detail. Dee Cunniffe's colors are balanced and beautiful. John J. Hill's letters match the emotion of the narrator and every character's words. So many moments in Crossover #5 are brought to life by the brilliant talents of a team working in synchronicity. Great sports teams thrive on the power of a championship to unite players. The power of this story joins five legendary creators into an unstoppable force. Read Full Review
Bottom line, Crossover doesn't fit in because it too busy standing out. Read Full Review
Shaw delivers some brilliant imagery throughout the issue. From the characters to the backgrounds, everything is filled with energy and detail. Read Full Review
This issue has set up the readers for the finale of this current volume. Crossover will be continuing and there is an issue that will be dropping soon featuring none other than another great comic book writer in Chip Zdarsky. Hold on tight everyone this series is just getting started. If you haven’t read the first four issues, pick those up before you read this. You’ll need the previous stories to explain everything. You can always trade wait, but I’m sure you can get those floppies as well. Get this book and enjoy the ride. I totally wish I could give you more details about this issue but I think that if I give you anymore, I'll spoil the issue. I certainly don't want to do that. Read Full Review
Hill's work shines as well in this issue with a lot of explosions, screams and ominous voices from God of Blades. The letters are essential in this chapter to help bring forth the chaos that has just erupted in the story and help immerse the reader into the comic by overlapping some of the sound effects.

Crossover #5 feels a bit convenient at times, but that's alright. The only disappointing thing about the comic is that the fast pace makes it go by too quickly. However, the ending is pretty perfect. Cates hypes readers up for the next issue expertly. Shaw's art is the icing on the cake as usual. Crossover is such a great book, and while this issue isn't the best so far, it's a fitting penultimate issue of this story arc. Read Full Review
I have to say, I had not idea what to expect from this issue and I was definitely surprised and more than a little impressed. Read Full Review
Just as the series starts to slow down a little much in its fifth issue, Cates and Shaw ramp up the excitement and keep everything engaging. Read Full Review
An incredibly fun issue where many things that Cates has been setting up in the previous issues are coming to fruition. Read Full Review
With some fun pop-culture references and a big action sequence, Crossover #5 is a fun comic to read. It stumbles in that it could use a bit more of a setup. Steps feel like they've been missed and we go from 0 to 10 in no time at all. I thought I missed an issue when I first began to read the comic. Still, it delivers action, drama, and ups the stakes of it all. Read Full Review
While I found this issue to be slightly lacking in story it completely makes up for it with the artwork. We do push things slightly forward while being left with many unanswered questions yet setting things up nicely for the final issue of the Kids Love Chains story. Read Full Review
Only read it if you're committed to seeing where the rabbit hole goes. Read Full Review

In the midst of the chaos, the Amalgam’s have arrived and the Paybacks do their best to hold them off. Madman, refusing to leave his friends behind, hands off the mighty sword Valofax to Ellie so that she may continue the mission and get Ava home to her parents. But when they find themselves smack dead in the center of the confl more
Good, good.
It was good. This series started to be boring a couple issues ago, but #5 kind of made me interested again.
A good issue that goes by way too quickly.
Not as good as the previously ones though the action was there but the content was rushed.
Quick, to the point, but I don't feel cheated. Staring down that barrel was a perfect ending and that sword makes canceled Image books look like a goldmine of ideas. Back issue bins, what a treasure. This is an ode to that.
I look forward to see if the preacher's son is going to pull the trigger.

This is just meaningless for me and I don't care anybody in this book or what or why they're doing what they're doing. I tried really hard to like it but alas it's not setup well with good characters or good backstories. I even had a discussion with one of the guys running my local shop and he said he loved god country but bailed on this book three issue in because of similar reasons. I went on to read X-men by Hickman after this and immediately was struck by how well Hickman has setup his book. Maybe not fair since I care for Laura and the X-men because of previous work but the flow and script for that issue alone is better than 5 issues of Crossover. Also it took 9 minutes to read this issue so that's another point against it...
