'Loose Ends' is a gritty masterpiece that pulls you in. It captures the dark storytelling edge you've seen in things like Hell or High Water, Breaking Bad, Sons of Anarchy, and Justified. If you like 'Southern Bastards' you'll love 'Loose Ends.' Latour, Brunner, and Renzi bring you your next comic book obsession. Read Full Review

Overall, I thought this was a solid first issue and the only downside that I can think of right now is that there are only going to be four issues. Read Full Review

LOOSE ENDS #1 and #2 make a great start to an intense and mesmerizing crime story that makes full use of its Southern setting. Read Full Review

Overall, if you missed the 4 issue run of Loose Ends when it first came out in 2011 (which you almost assuredly did), do yourself the favor and check it out this time. If the first issue is any indication, you'll like the ride it takes you on. Read Full Review

Loose Ends is a spunky crime-romance caper that, on the surface, may sound like many that have come before it, yet somehow it retains a certain freshness and an earnest grit all its own. Most definitely worth checking out for those who prefer romantic stories with an occasional right to the jaw. Read Full Review

With its first issue, Loose Ends puts the wheels in motion for an interesting tale that, on the surface, has elements of Shakespearean tragedy. However I'm not so sure that is the sort of story that Latour and company have in store for us. I, for one, am very excited to find out where we're were going and will enjoy the ride. Whether Sonny and company will is another thing entirely. Read Full Review

However, a great comic book author is only as good as his collaborators. Fortunately for Latour, his collaborators are powerhouses. Artist Chris Brunner (Southern Bastards) and colorist Rico Renzi (Batman Beyond) bring the art of Loose Ends to visceral life. Brunner's art is distinct and he is able to load a panel with visual information without overwhelming the reader. Renzi has created a wonderful color palette that he uses to convey tense and perspective. Each character sees the world in a certain way and each flashback has a fuzzy overtone. Loose Ends is a beautiful comic through and through. Read Full Review

Overall, Loose Ends is a gritty southern crime romance that'll keep you turning pages. And while many bemoan the short length, I'm actually all in favor of short, concise series; they're a lot more difficult to pull off, and while we're forfeiting long-term character development, the best writers can do a lot with a little. Hopefully Loose Ends exhibits that in the next 3 issues. Read Full Review

Loose Ends is back and better than ever.Be sure to pick up issue one when it rereleases on January 25, even if you already gave it a shot the first time around. You'll get the finale that you've been waiting six years for, along with a new format, new covers, and a few other updates. "But don't worry," said Latour in a recentImage+ interview, "Han still shoots first." Read Full Review

With a cadre of lived-in characters and a host of neon visuals crackling with personality, this is the kind of book that grabs your attention. Read Full Review

This is one fast-moving tale, despite the ‘going nowhere' theme, and the inaugural issue gets us revved up with a dose of tragedy…compounded with tragedy. As our protagonists, if one can call them such, race away from the terrible events that happened in a nothing's space of time, we race after them in search for more of the story. I'm truly enjoying this title, and look forward to the next three issues. Read Full Review

If you picked up the original series, do yourself a favor and re-buy this re-issue and refresh your memory. If you didnt, but are a fan of Latours other work, buy this series. Its a southern noir masterpiece that you will not be able to put down. Read Full Review

A great start that draws you into its seedy, vibrant, violent world, "Loose Ends" #1 is soaked with as much neon as it is blood. Read Full Review

Even for those who have already read it, Loose Ends #1 is a book well worth the 10 years it took to come home. Read Full Review

Every wonky detail may stand out as you read through, but at the end, all you're left with is the impression of a slick movie trailer. Lots of images that don't always fit together, snippets of a disjointed story you trust them to bring together in the end, and visuals that make you want to watch it over and over. Loose Ends #1 is way more than the sum of its parts, and I can't wait for more. In fact, after reading it and making sense of it all, the part I liked least was right on the cover " that little blurb promising ONLY four issues! Read Full Review

Honestly, I think this review might make me come across as totally lost but I want to be as honest as possible about the way I felt about this comic. I did not enjoy this issue and I think someone who has just as little context for the story before reading the issue will not enjoy it either. In my opinion, you should pick up Loose Ends #1. Pick up Loose Ends #1 from 2011 and get a better introduction to this world than this issue provides. I did not find this comic to be accessible but I did not think it was bad. I will be reading the previous Loose Ends mini-series and returning to this book to see if my opinion changes. I recommend you do the same. Read Full Review

I am not sure how I feel about this book... I was highly looking forward to reading this because the writer is a local of Charlotte,North Carolina like I am, but this dialogue felt off for me through the whole issue. The art isn't my favorite, but it isn't bad either. I know this is a four issue mini-series as well, but everything felt way to rushed as well. Now with all the negatives out of the way the book did intrigue me, it kept me interested for the whole book as well as leaving me ready to read the next issue coming out sometime in February.
