NEW STORY ARC! Comics' best ongoing series about agriculture gone apocalyptic returns for its third season! After last issue's game-changing events, a weakened Jedidiah Jenkins seeks guidance from an old friend. Unfortunately, her mystical wisdom points to a dark future for the residents of Freetown.
Farmhand #11 is bookended by flashbacks, presumably from the same day in the past. They show two different perspectives of a time when Jed was just starting out, before his company grew to the size and scale of what we see now and before all of it began to topple. Forces are working against this man and his family and things are certainly going to get worse before they get better. Farmhand enters its third arc with a shovel to dig up all kinds of buried secrets and untold horrors awaiting. Read Full Review

Farmhand #11 works for the reason that the whole book does. It doesn't throw a ton of new ideas and characters at you every issue to feign depth. It just builds and grows upon what's already been there since the beginning. It's branching out in different directions all the time, but it never feels like a departure from the book's core. Guillory has an intense focus and plan, and it's on full display in this issue. Read Full Review

Farmhand #11 went out of its way to build up towards something larger. We don't yet know how explosive this plot is going to get. This issue left us in a desperate state. We know that things are going to get worse before things get better. But now we know how few avenues seem to be available. Read Full Review
Even with Guillory's typically strong cartooning, this is a slow, transitory issue that does little with plenty of space resulting in an overall disappointment. Read Full Review
