"Truants."
It's clear that much of the larger story arc was building towards this climactic scene, and nothing else in "Morning Glories" #24 can match the pathos and horror of its mixture of love, longing and violence. Reading those pages, one can't help be moved and appalled, enthralled with a chapter of "Morning Glories" that is near-perfect in plotting and execution. It's a tale that will reward the faithful.

Morning Glories #24 is without another strong release in a sterling series. It would be easy to complain and say that not enough was answered in this specific piece but the revelation on the final page successfully peaked my interest. In short, if you've been following this tale this latest bit of the growing puzzle is absolutely for you. Highly Recommended. Read Full Review
Joe Eisma and Alex Sollazzo rock it! The expressions, the colors, the mood. I love it. The art team has really hit their stride 24 issues in. If Nick Spencer has his way and this series has 100+ issues I look forward to seeing the evolution in Joe's art. Apologies to Rodin Esquejo as the cover shown here to the side is not the final cover.

This issue is typically Morning Glories in that it gives the appearance of providing answers without really explaining much. By now, you either like that approach or you don't. I DO enjoy it. Plus, the issue gets bonus points for focusing on one of its more interesting characters. Read Full Review
The suspense and cliffhangers this series delivers on a regular basis is amazing. Like I mentioned earlier Spencer is really great with long form stories and small pay offs. Usually that kind of thing would drive someone crazy, but his stuff it usually just works and Morning Glories is no exception. Between the crazy story, with no answers and 1,001 questions and the compelling art of Joe Eisma this book just doesn't do anything wrong. If you're looking for a different kind of comic that's not all super heroes or spaceships, but still has that supernatural twist Morning Glories is your new drug of choice. Read Full Review
If youve made the same mistake I did and have missed an issue or two, I suggest going back and catching up before tackling #24. At least it has rekindled my love for this series and has branded me a born-again devout fan. I swear I wont stray again. Read Full Review
Joe Eisma delivers an excellent issue abound with expressive characters and detailed settings. He has come a long way since his first issue of this series and it definitely shows. His characters are more distinct and the backgrounds feel more natural, which allows the narrative to unfold without a hitch. Read Full Review
Granted, I'm here to comment on issue #24 and not the last couple so, I have to say how relieved I was when the focus shifted back to folks I recognized. Specifically focusing on Ike and his father and the root of their tumultuous relationship. Of course, even with all the glimpses into Ike's past Spencer manages to avoid any real answers to any of our questions-- which for some of them, have gone unanswered for so long that I can honestly say that I have forgotten them.

I am excited to see where this series goes. This issue is leading up to something bigger for Morning Glories #25. Pick this up! Read Full Review
Although Morning Glories #24 doesn't answer any of the big questions the series has kept under wraps for two years it does provide some background to Ike and one hell of a cliffhanger that should promise real answers whenever the comic returns to this storyline. Worth a look. Read Full Review
