"SPLIT THE PARTY," Part Two
The rest of our heroes have to march the survivors of Glass Town across the featureless Expanse, led by contrite Isabelle and never-contrite-in-his-whole-life Chuck. But is there more than meets the eye here? Like a secret door? Or a soul?
As always, everything about this series is perfect, and DIE remains one of the top characters on the stand. Read Full Review
I keep gushing about Die every month because it provides a fix that only it can provide. There's no other piece of media, let alone comic, that's able to synthesize elements of horror, fantasy, and psychological thriller is such a succinct and poignant manner. Every new issue of Die provides another chance for Gillen and Hans to showcase their adeptness at creating this enthralling world of monsters and magic, and every issue they knock it out of the park. This is as close to a perfect run of a comic in 2019, and if any of the listed genres interest, you need to read this series immediately. It's unrelenting in how phenomenal it is. Read Full Review
Stephanie Hans produces some gorgeous art in this issue. Everything looks amazing and each page is filled with beautiful details. Read Full Review
A close look at the other side of the DIE coin. While Chuck is the most obnoxious character, he's also the one who has the most potential to grow and so learning about him is interesting as well as cringe-worthy. Izzy is a little more straight forward, but her magical powers are so cool readers will want to know where they lead. Read Full Review
To be perfectly honest DIE #7 wasn't my favorite issue of the series so far. It wasn't bad by any means, but it didn't have the same fun to it that others have. The story is still fascinating and Gillen continues to twist when I expect him to play something straight. In addition, I think this issue has more events of actual consequence than many of the past. It feels like the series is building to a serious confrontation between both groups and that will be a sight to behold. And behold it everyone should, because this is still my favorite fantasy series on shelves every month. Read Full Review
Even among the biggest joke of the party, you can still find tragedy. Die #7 continued to remind us that there is no one trapped here who is running to something, or away. It is also through the events of this issue where you might begin seeing where this fracture of the party might be leading to. Escaping Die was never going to be that easy, but neither will staying.

Wonderful storytelling that makes slight changes each issue. Perfect mix of storytelling and world building. Read Full Review
THE GOOD:
-Yay! More Die!
-I just love these characters. They're complex, compelling and I can't get enough of them.
-I didn't expect it, but Mistress Woe was a surprisingly great and dark character in this issue.
-Any scene with Chuck and the dwarves was amazing.
-The Chuck/Isabelle dynamic was really, really good here, as expected.
-Stephanie Hans is one of the best artists working today. I'd put her juuuust under Andrea Sorrentino, but it's a very slim margin.
-This issue was essentially just talking and it was amazing.
-Kieron Gillen knows how to use emotions well. It's not melodramatic, it's not pretentious. These characters and their conflicts more
This may be the weakest issue of Die thus far. I still enjoyed the story, but it wasn't as great as the previous issues.
Didn't even noticed the issue was close to the end.
Felt like the writer was going a bit too hard on making sure we don't like Chuck. Alright, we get it.
I don't know... I like it, but the point is lost on me. I must be missing something.
