END OF STORY ARC
Everyone dies. No one is safe.
As much joy as the previous issue of Redneck brought readers, this one is an absolute gut punch. Read Full Review
I shouldn't be surprised that Redneck rebounded from its moments of peace and tranquility into this issue of absolute chaos. Maybe there was a part of me that just thought the series would end with those happily ever after moments, but those words will never apply to the Bowmans. Their lives are full of heartbreak and sadness and we have been pulled so deep into their world, issues like this pack a huge punch. By the time I finished this issue, I was yelling, "No! No! No!" over and over again as the attacks on these characters feel personal. While it's a tough chapter to get through, it's an incredible read. Read Full Review
Oh my god.
Well, that's one way to end an arc. After a really sweet issue, we get a pretty painful one where all those good feelings are ripped away from us. It's plain evil. But it doesn't feel unearned, which is key to making something like this issue work where others would fail. Bartlett's vow serving as the issue's narration works really well. It perfectly guides the punch right at your gut, while giving the issue the bulk of the charm that readers come to this series for.
