But Why Tho? - Max Funkey
Jul 15, 2020All-in-all this issue was phenomenal. Even with a minor gripe about the letters I still think there is so much to love here. I can honestly say that I will have difficulty waiting until the next issue is released. Never before have I seen a comic blend Lovecraftian horror, body horror, and over the top action in one issue and had it work. Much less to have seen it and not have wanted it any other way.

Jul 16, 2020Even as Family Tree #7 begins to understand its approach in balancing each element of its own story, those elements are impactful enough that any misgivings are easily ignored. By the final page all that's left is a desire to see more of every part of this branching narrative. Read Full Review

Grown-up Josh fighting off gas-masked stalkers; Meg learning more about the mythology she finds herself tangled in; Judd still being a crazy, badass Grandpa. There's a lot going on in this issue but Lemire manages to make it all flow smoothly without feeling rushed.

Jump five years into the future. In this issue, Lemire uses different time frames to imply why these " tree people " were hunted down by this random ass cult. We discover more about this tree-people mythos between Meg and her dad, and why Meg being planted is so important. Meanwhile Judd after breaking out in Issue 6 is being chased by the cult in an attempt to lead them to Meg. I didn't mention this in my past reviews, but the cliff-hangers are well done, and this cliff hanger may shine light on what the real story behind the trees are. Another good issue.
