The end is the beginning is the end; these are the SWAN SONGS."
Swan Songs #4 is another fantastic story by writer W. Maxwell Prince, who makes every story more than just a simple horror story. He makes you THINK and he truly disturbs you, and that makes each issue priceless. It has gore, some truly disturbing scenes and explores complex characters and ideas. Recommended. Read Full Review
Swan Songs simply doesn't miss, even when its scope is significantly narrowed. Read Full Review
I do not know what type of horror story this is. It feels like as you walk in the main characters shoes you slowly see how he sees the world and how pointless things are. Not in a 'I will harm others' sort of way but in a 'I have never had a choice' kind of way. It is a very sad sort of horror and the end really drives home the point. The very last image on the final page, the look of the guy and the final sad libs was very impactful. Everything was written to both feel hopeless and yet a glimmer of hope and freedom remained. Loved this short story.
A somewhat generic premise that does get a boost from the way its told. Not anything super profound, but entertaining in its own way.
I liked the issue but not a fan of the ending. I don’t care how clever you may think it is.
