Will you like this book? I don't know. If you haven't been following the series, probably not. There's almost no action, and you won't get half of the references. This book is a celebration of creativity, though, and that is something to which almost everyone can relate. On this level, and especially if you've read or are willing to read at least a few of the previous issues, this may be the best book you read all year. Read Full Review
Regular artist Luca Rossi does his fine work one last time, and Tony Akins and Teddy Kristiansen both jump in for well-done tales of the House in other realms. Inaki Miranda's chapter, though, just shines. The characters are incredibly expressive and emotional, and the scenery is fantastic. Miranda is definitely a creator who should get a regular gig, and soon. I'm not happy this title is ending, but I'm glad to see Matthew Sturges bring it to an ending that feels natural, like it ended in its own time, which is a luxury far too many comics don't get. In the end, the eight volumes of this series will stand up as a worthy part of the Vertigo library. Read Full Review
