Mini-Series Finale. The stunning conclusion of Jeff Lemire's surreal and heart-rending series! Officer Danny Laraque frantically searches for Franny, Franny tries to get an answer from Bug, Bug looks for forgiveness, and Helen still hangs on to hope in the hospital with her son, Paul. It's all connected and looping into each other at the height of the fishflies' annual summer return to Belle River.
The final issue of Fishflies checks all of the boxes you could want from a Lemire story with unique imagery and a melancholic narrative that all wrap up with just a hint of optimism. Read Full Review
The small-town restlessness and listlessness are drawn slowly and steadily across the page as intimate emotional horror gradually asserts itself in the big, final chapter of the series. And then there are a couple of really tense explosions of action and...the pacing is really well-executed in the final issue...as has it been over the course of much of the rest of the series. Its been a provocative journey. In the end, its all remarkably well-developed. Its just too bad it couldnt have maintained the wonder of weird fantasy straight through to the end. Read Full Review
I think read of the whole series is in order. I did enjoy the end. It had good emotional beats. I just feel like this story might read better as a whole.
