This issue confirm this is not just a hype but the real deal and you don't want to miss this.

Ahaa the moment it surpasses the hype is here! It's currently in a tier on its own.
Amazing stuff

Been loving this series and this issue continues to have its heart and eyes in the right place. Lovely art and design, classic moral problem, and, for once these days, a good answer to it. D'orc is written as a very consistent character, which for this genre of book serves him well. This character could go on for decades alongside the likes of Miyamoto Usagi or Conan.

Noo, too short! Me needs more! C'mon man...

Great, once again, I still think the previous issue was this book's best thus far, but I'm still really into this. I feel like I've seen many other say something similar to this, but I think it's a testament to how good this is that I've never been big into war stories and I'm liking this as much as I am. It definitely helps when you have two guys like Remender & Acuña working on the book, though . In any case, I'm feeling that Milton's ethics/morals/etc. are going to be tested in the next issue, and I'm really looking forward to seeing that, particularly after how he talked about the bats of this land in the first issue.more

This series continues to be a cut above the rest.

Most of the reviews here are not even reviewing the book, theyre just listing their grievances with the franchise for the upteenth time.

One even outright admits he's not reviewing the full book, just poisoning the well and the review score

But the fact is, every story in this one is at least good. A few are absolute all-timers.

Worth it for the 'Still Standing' s tory alone.more

A solid and intriguing intro to a thriller story that takes some bold swings. Practically from page 1 you are shown that this is not a twist on a traditional F4 story, its another story entirely for these characters. I won't give anything away, but this portrait of Reed is one that feels both familiar but also harrowing. Theres some fun blending of science and philosophy.

The art is fan tatsic(heh). Im a fan of Kev Walker and have bee for a while, think he's underrated. Hes not the mother detailed, the most grandiose, the most beautiful but what he is is wildly consistent and has an ability to instantly transport you into the worlds that he renders. He knows where to place the camera; where to insert more details, where to exaggerate and when to pull back. Im hoping this gives him a bigger spotlight.

Worth a read, interested to see where things go.more

This is a review ONLY of the lead story, with Spoilers Galore.
1) Whatever happened to "Spidey sense is tingling" when a menace appeared?
2) In issue # 1 Aunt May was deathly ill. She's "died" once or maybe twice in the ensuing 60 years. Who cares what happens to her anymore?
3) Cormac's plan worked without revealing his secret. Why blow his cover?
4) And since he doesn't see m to have any criminal intent other than this, why have a super-villain costume and a name like "Ravage?"
5) That's a pretty extraordinary super-power, selectively removing all references in someone's brain to a specific person. And it's not just gone, but in an "essence?" Oh, I think we can all see what's coming next.
6) A 104 page anniversary issue should be able to tell a story without a cliff-hanger.
Horrible. The one poignant moment was when May asked Peter "who are you?" that could've turned into a really good story. But it quickly dissoved into nonsense.more

As a lifelong Spider-Man fan, this issue hit all the right notes for me. I have less than loved Joe Kelly's run, but the way he interweaved Spider-Man history with the current villain was effective, and a good kickoff to the issue. No spoilers here, but each of the supporting stories touches on an aspect of my favorite hero, and left me very satisfied with the $9.99 price. If you are a fan of the wall-crawler, swing on by your LCS and get this one.more

Screw it, 10/10.

Escape has managed to be one of Remenders best titles and for a guy that's put out like 8 books in the last 5 years that's no small feat.

The tone and the dialoge and the characterization is simply immaculate. The art is some of the best on the stands right now, and that is SAYING something.

The premise is simple, but its execution is brilliant. T his series is pulse pounding edge of your seat stuff... and you dint even notice you're reading animal characters.more

A brilliant ending to a brilliant comic. One of Remender's best. I honestly think his fantasy books are better than anything else he writes. He just seems to understand the genre and knows how to craft an incredibly compelling story. This will definitely go down as one of my favourite series' of all time. A true masterpiece.

Don't listen to fzanca's brain dead take. This ending was grea t. Can't please everyone I guess.more

Beautiful heart wrenching comic series. I loved it. This might be the comic series of the decade.

A bitter, beautifully worded coda to thus series... it is unforgiving and blunt just like life. But it offers a hard fought hope for the future
This book will be missed. What its message truly is, may that be a point of discourse to come. Several interpretations can be drawn. I wish they'd have thrown another arc in the middle of the timeskip, but other than that no notes.

I really love a dialogue-less comic. Especially when done proper.
The story is told with all actions and emotions, with the occasional text from wall signs or computer screen Ghost walks by them. This issue really shows the creative teams excellent understanding of cats. Especially Trish Forstner, as she brilliantly captures the inquisitive and earnest expressions on Ghost's face.

I had to re-read this immediately after, to get a better feeling of the flow of the story. My first reading, I was too focused on scouring each panel for hidden clues and details adding extra layers to the storytelling. The emails we could see on the open computers show characters that I'm sure will play significant rolls in the later issues.

Love this comic immensely! The only gripe are the scenes when something bad happens to one of the animals. And there was a particularly heartbreaking scene in this issue, that was masterfully conveyed. Maybe a little TOO well conveyed!!!!

All and all, this is a series that is definitely worth reading. I'm just glad I jumped on while the single issues were all still fairly readily available. Been hooked ever since.more

Good but short. I don’t like the split issue format. Just as the issue began to pick up momentum it was over.

I like the development the characters are getting. Especially Elsie.
Lord is finally starting to show some maturity and that’s a good thing. I can’t wait for the next issue, but it’s frustrating because I know that issue 24 will have the same shortness of the chapter beca use of the issue being shared with the other story dealing with the Stray Dogs. The portion dealing with the dogs was also very good but it too was over far too soon. The dogs are fine but I honestly am really only interested in the cats that we have been following this whole time. The side by side separate stories feel very much like they are just building towards the conclusion in advertised anniversary issue number 25. This current arc was most definitely written for the trade.

Im reading this very late and already read the FBCD issue so I know the big twist herein, but the rest of this book is a banger too. The classic style coloring and the artwork.. phenomenal. This feels like G.I. Joe every which way.
