Decorum #8

Decorum #8 is a master class in how to succeed with a new comic IP and is easily my favorite book of the week. Jonathan Hickman and Mike Huddleston used the extra room (all eight issues are ginormous) to the full effect! Additionally, while Decorum #8 was billed as the final issue of the series, it ends with the perfect moment. To Be Continued. Hickman and Huddleston definitely have a hit as they wrap up this story and lay the groundwork for the follow-up. Read Full Review

Whether readers are seeking epic sci-fi, roguish adventures, or some of the most innovative shifts in style among American comics today, Decorum delivers in this climax that already has me anticipating re-reading this entire saga in hardcover. Read Full Review

A great finale. This is a series that was too good for its own good.

Based on the tease at the end I think we'll get another series. Knowing Hickman it's gonna be years if we do though.

Man, this was a fun series with some absolutely ridiculous art by Mike Huddleston. The way he weaves different styles, textures, and color schemes through each individual page had my jaw on the floor from issue #1. This is one of the best looking books on the shelf all year. Hickman's story was a little all over the place (and benefited from a reread all at once), but the awkward pacing at times was more than made up for with enthralling world-building that let my imagination run wild. I thought he weaved the multiple narratives together expertly by the end, although my particular favorite was the egg and most of the slow-dripped lore around it. The classic Hickman diagram pages added additional layers to the story and my particular favorite was the flow chart featuring the Celestial Messiah from this issue. It absolutely had me cracking up. I'd 100% recommend picking this up if you're a Hickman fan, lover of art, or are looking for some well-developed world building in your science fiction. more

this was average. It had an interesting premise of assassins, but the pacing and textbook dialogue was boring, bland and not as engaging. Even though the world building and art was good, I personally did not find this to be interesting and memorable. Which is a shame, because Hickman can write good stuff
