Now, if you love the HULK and are a long-time fan, this series, as well as MAESTRO, are totally up your alley. However, at this point, Id just grab the trade and prepare for WORLD WAR M. Additionally, if youre new to the MAESTRO and just dropped a line into this issue on a whim, I highly recommend checking out FUTURE IMPERFECT to take a deep dive into where this all began. Readers, grab this trade, let me know what you think, have a great week, and God bless! Read Full Review

MAESTRO: WAR AND PAX #5 wraps up this miniseries in perfect Hulk fashion. The massive power of each opponent is only matched by their enormous egos. Read Full Review

Maestro: War and Pax #5 is an awesome final battle. There is a feeling of wrapping up within this issue, as if fighting Doctor Doom is just a formality. And yet the combat is just as exhilarating as the rest. David and Pina have created some of the best clashes in recent comics inside the five chapters, and this is another of them. There may be plot threads and the ending may not feel as final as one may have preferred. But in a way, the emotionally devastating issue #4 felt more like the last issue than this one.

War and Pax has been a fun ride over the past few months and based upon the ending of this book, it looks like we're in for even more enjoyment with Maestro in the future. Read Full Review

Pina and Peralta deliver some great art throughout the issue. The Doom/Maestro (however brief) was thrilling to watch. Read Full Review

The final issue of the arc didn't tell us anything new about the title character, which left me wanting more. Read Full Review

I like the art and it succeeded in getting me vaguely interested in a sequel. This issue and the miniseries as a whole didn't impress me much, though; I think the writing gave me too much plot and not enough characterization. And I'm not a fan of abrupt downer endings.

Ugh whatever rule this post-apocalyptic hellscape, see if I care.
