When you can live forever, what does it mean to live? In this shocking series finale, Maestro finds himself partnered with an old enemy against even older allies to determine once and for all the true ruler of Dystopia. But opportunism depends on knowing how your opponents think, and someone's failed to account for a few tricks...

Cabrol delivers some great art in the issue. The action is dynamic and the details are beautiful throughout. Read Full Review
MAESTRO: WORLD WAR M #5 isn't a bad story within itself. However, it doesn't do justice to the overall premise and story that is MAESTRO and FUTURE IMPERFECT. By the time this issue is said and done, it's almost as if we get a completely different MAESTRO than we see in FUTURE IMPERFECT, which wouldn't be a bad thing except this issue butts right up against that very trade.

Even if my own expectations were a bit out of whack, though, in its entirety, I think World War M has been my favorite Maestro story so far and is very much worth checking out. Read Full Review
As I expect there will be plenty of other related character storylines off this main storyline plus all the multiverse versions as Marvel seems to be a fan of these days. Read Full Review
Maestro: World War M #5 wrapped up the story points but failed to excite the reader. Read Full Review
There wasn't any doubt about where we'd wind up, but the last leg of the trip is still pretty fun. The guest artist does a commendable job sliding into the existing visual tone. The script smoothly rolls its brisk plot out to the end, with plenty of bleak humor along the way.
I appreciate the dramatic irony of this last chapter: For all his strength and cunning, the Maestro's victory ultimately relies on the psychological flaws of his enemies (Abomination's suicidal nihilism and Namor's crippling self-doubt).
