Heavy on symbolism, filled with stunning imagery, GIDEON FALLS #25 is a waypoint to the next stage of this remarkable series. With the multiverse collapsing arounds its ears, only a brave few can save existence. Read Full Review

In the beginning, there was one. In the end, there will be one. And that one will be Gideon Falls. Read Full Review

Gideon Falls has been constantly evolving with each new arc and what initially intrigued me because of my ever-present Catholic guilt now fascinates me by being this multi-genre speculative fiction celebration of all things surreal and horrific. Everything continues to fall in place and this particular issue maybe isn't the best time to jump in, but this review should serve as a reminder that Gideon Falls is out here doing all of the work.

GIDEON FALLS #25 gears up for its finale. It gets big and multiversal, before settling back into the intimate story it does best. Read Full Review

The cliffhanger ending sets the stage for the big final act and Im still unclear how Lemire and Sorrentino will wrap everything up. But thats part of the fun, isnt it? Read Full Review

The art was amazing but story wise felt like a filler

I really loved the art.

Visually, this is some of the best work I have seen from Andrea Sorrentino on pencils, David Stewart on the colors, and Steve Wands on letters. Seriously, WOW. The first six or so pages is done with absolutely masterful techniques by all three. This issue in short starts to come full circle and present revelations about the craziness that has been going as the series approaches it finale at Issue #27 (basically the last arc #27-30).

Lemire has reached the pinnacle of how vast the world of Gideon Falls really is. I have said this before, he stretches the boundaries of what horror can be, starting with a small-town America/Western style and evolved it up to this multiverse of madness. Though, this is really short. I mean, only 17 pages? Come on Image, you can do better than this. The story is coming to a huge conclusion, ramping up the stakes, peeling back the magnitude of the plot, and you give me LESS than 20 pages. Sigh.

Also, how did the priest find Angela? And what happened to the girl he was with? Kind of skipped some stuff from the last few issues. Seeming to rushed a little, though they only have 2 more issues to go, and I get the feeling Lemire is going to explain it soon. Overall, a great issue and looking forward to the finale of this series. more

I think the answer with angela has to do with she already living her life. If you remember she meets herself in one of the previous issues as if she knew what already has happened. In this issue the bishop mentions angela telling him where shed be but that is referring to her counterpart that died in the other issue.

This was fine! The artwork was all great, but the story itself fell flat for me.
