Rated T+
An incredibly touching issue about death, grieving and a family's love is a series highlight, though it reads like prologue for whatever devastating ending this series will have over the next few months. Read Full Review
Tears...
Goddammit, this series is good. This issue was very powerful and very touching, a reflection of death and the way we love people after they have died. Mike Allred's art is fantastic and Dan Slott's story is so emotional without ever being cloying. It is so bittersweet. As someone who has recently lost his parents, I was incredibly moved. This is a series that is a step above almost everything else being produced in comics right now.
Right in the feels 👊🏼
Near perfect.
It takes Dawn a full issue (and nearly two months in-story) to properly process the death of her father. It's pretty breathtakingly great. Dawn's way of grieving - cocooning herself in pleasant feelings on planet Euphoria - looks unhealthy at first. A little help from friends gets her over the ridge into true healing. Norrin's patience is spotlighted in a heartwarming way without cheapening Dawn's experience at all. All this and some of Mike Allred's most expressive art! This is a powerful read, and the closer you identify with Dawn's situation, the more of an impact it's likely to have.
