It comes down to this: three versus three hundred at the border of Sparta. The men who'd keep them slaves versus the three who would be free. The historical epic reaches its bloody denouement. The end of a story, the start of a legend.
The storys only shortcoming is that there is not enough of it, a mirror of the history that Gillen tirelessly dug through to create this comic. Read Full Review
Three #5 is a great way to end the arc and hopefully we will see more from this team. Read Full Review
There's a joke in here somewhere about how you probably didn't cover the Helots during your sixth-grade unit on Sparta either, but I'll abstain. If you were unlucky enough to miss out on "Three" month-by-month, you should really pick it up in trade. It's been phenomenal. Read Full Review
While there were some minor personal issues with some relatively minor aspects of this book, Three #5 was generally a terrific close. While it would be wonderful to see more from this creative team on this very title, they told a damn fine story and pulled it off well in every respect. This last issue had some particularly powerful moments and the parallels with the battle of Thermopylae provided a fantastic framework to end the story. Overall, this was another great book in a series that was far too short! Read Full Review
This is a cool series! I know it's old, I know my review won't matter a great deal, but nontheless, if you are here reading it and you like Gillen or Ancient Greece or just a good ol'comicbook, go for it! This series increased in quality throughout, has great art, a cool little story about nobodies, surrounded by the shadow of an old greek power. It has shine a different and informative light on Spartans. Trust me on this, it's worth the buy ;)
