FINAL ISSUE!
This is it! As a force more powerful than any one animal tribe descends upon the island, the fate of Mowglii, Baloo, Bagheera, and all of the inhabitants of Kipling Isle will be revealed in this final chapter of Zenescope's epic series: The Jungle Book!
A sensational closing for a super series. Everyone involved with this series is to be congratulated for creating a fantastic adventure. I hope it's not long before Kipling is revisited. Read Full Review
Part of the problem with this issue and this series is the lack of an underlying moral, or specifically that the moral was introduced too late and not expanded upon enough to make an impact. Certainly in this setting the message of man's destructive effect on nature could have been elaborated on in great detail, but instead this message is mostly left untouched except as a rallying call for the animals to work together. As the end of the trilogy there are still unanswered questions, and this suggests that in true Grimm Fairy Tales style that this is not so much of a trilogy as just the start of the story. There are likely to be a sequence of one-shots to follow, as well as a followup series, seeing as there are still a lot of unanswered questions. As it stands the series and this issue were noteworthy enough, but they also represent a bit of a missed opportunity. Read Full Review
