Overall, Family Tree #9 is an excellent blend of action, suspense, body horror, and mystery. Read Full Review
Family Tree #9 stands out among the rest of the series, with Josh's perspective taking center stage, as well as several other key changes. That tone and unique art style are still very much present. Read Full Review
Family Tree still evidences a cast of compelling characters and offers a sense of growth at the very end, but issue #9 is still expanding on the prior issue's cliffhanger which makes this a not-entirely-fulfilling read in single issue format. Read Full Review
Fell off this for a bit but loved this issue.
This is a solid issue. I knew there'd have to be a big time jump based on the teases we've had with grown-up Josh, but it feels like there's still too much story left untold and with only three issues left I'm worried the ending will feel rushed. Still, Lemire's a great writer and I remain hopeful he can stick the landing.
