    White Sky #5 answers so many questions. Bill Harms put together the best issue yet from a writing perspective. The story shows us so much of the world just beyond what Violet sees. Harms’s writing, combined with Mavinga and Loughridge’s art, reminds us that this is not a regular post-apocalyptic world. Here, death has a cost, the hunger is real, and dealing with ghosts that know who you are is a different realm of pain and fear. Read Full Review

    No matter how much a post-apocalyptic setting forces young characters to quickly grow up it is never quick enough. That is a something that White Sky #5 reminds us as Violet is forced to make a choice that even after living in this world for five years it is still difficult. Read Full Review

    You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff

    It’s kind of difficult to make it through an issue of White Sky. It can feel like quite a triumph reaching the final page.. This is not because it’s poorly-written or illustrated. On the contrary...it’s quite conpelling stuff. It’s just so relentlessly bleak. That bleakness serves as an attraction in and of itself which could prove to be quite fun once things really get. rolling on a series that’s already in its fifth issue. Hopefully the momentum can continue to build as the series continues beyond the fifth issue. It’s going to be quite a journey. Read Full Review

    With a pacing and tone that fits is chosen genre, 'White Sky' continues to build this ghost world with increasing levels of drama, humanity, subtext, and the right amount of shock and gore. Read Full Review

    Some creative illustrations nearly save this issue from itself. As good as the artwork is, though, it’s not quite enough to make up for some uneven pacing. After reading this issue, you realize that very little happened and you don’t have much more information about the ongoing story itself. Read Full Review
