Overall, Loose Ends lands in the ambiguous region between plot-driven and character-driven fiction, fitting neither well enough to do them justice in a compelling way. Where it shines brightest is taking chances on creative visual storytelling, which, as a visual medium, is enough to make the book worth reading despite its shortcomings. Just don't expect its characters to stay with you long after the last page. Read Full Review

I hate to say that issue kind of missed the mark for me. It was just too hurried and rushed. And the end result was messy and confusing and slightly anti-climactic. I'm not sure why Latour and Brunner limited themselves to only four issues. Even if they gave themselves only two more issues I think Loose Ends could have been something great as opposed to just something okay or good enough. With another issue or two they could have spent more time developing the characters and setting the stage for the explosive and violent end. We could have spent some more time with Flynn to figure out what the fuck his deal was. We could have actually met Batista. We could have learned so much more, and in turn, maybe I would have enjoyed it a little more. The art definitely saved this book for me, but I'm sad to say that issue #4 of Loose Ends was one of the biggest let-downs for me this year"so far. Read Full Review
