A little more disjointed as the universe of Shutter grows, but no less enjoyable in terms of each individual storyline. Wished there was a bit more Kate in this volume.

In the top echelon of books Image is producing today. Love the story and characters. Love the art.

I am still bothered by a lot of Keatinge's writing style, but it improves in certain sections by the end of this volume. Del Luca's designs, both derivative and original, are a lot of fun to see in action.This series started on such a high note, then faltered badly by Vol. 2. Much time has passed, but now I've got Vols. 4 and 5 on deck, and I'm hoping the latest major reveal - that our protagonist is one of 7 unique siblings in a long and complicated legacy - brings the series to a better place....

This series is just getting better and better for me. I will keep this review very brief, because I'm not real sure how to go about reviewing without spoiling or completely summarizing...So I will just say I enjoyed Kate's journey in this volume and her finally finding out the truth. I like the new characters introduced. And overall I am really happy with the feeling that things are leading somewhere! I feel like the bigger picture is taking shape on the horizon and am anxious to see it.

I'm rooting for the homicidal alarm clock... Don't know what that says about me. But I'm not liking any of the other characters and frankly nothing about the story grabs my attention.Except the artwork. *sigh* So goddamn beautiful.

While I love the journey the creative team has brought us on I had some problems following the story--all these siblings and family ties and secrets were starting to become hard to grasp. Still I read on and because I know at times in comics, you need a few more issues or even another story arc to bring into fruition what was originally started. Del Luca's art is the constant thing keeps me grounded while reading even when things don't all makes sense. Still worth following.

I just don't like this comic at all.And since I have read every issue I purchased this is the last I ever set my eyes on it...

Much more consistent quality in story in this volume. It was still wacky as anything but it was consistently wacky, which I can get down with. Another great cliffhanger in the last issue so it's time for me to buy the rest, methinks.

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.I will admit to missing the second volume a little, but honestly I was only about as lost as I had been in the first one, so.... I don't feel like it hindered me much. It was just as much of a crazy acid trip of WTFery as the first volume but this one actually includes a peyote trip in it.I do really enjoy the artwork even though I have very little clue wh...

'Shutter, Vol. 3: Quo Vadis' by Joe Keatinge with gorgeous art by Leila del Duca is one weird head trip. It might have helped had I read Volume 2, but then again, I'm not certain.Kate Kristopher is writing a journal in Venice, Italy, which is about as normal as scenes go in this volume. It's only later that we find out she has amnesia (or maybe knew if we had read the aforementioned Volume 2). We do get caught up on things during a peyote trip, which seems about par for this book and we end up o...

2.5* I'm just kind of bored. The first issue in this volume is the one that introduced me to the series, and I did like it, but seeing the larger story now, I'm just not impressed or interested. The story gets *bigger* but my level of caring declines. oh well.

Man, I don't know. I feel like I never spent enough time with Kate-as-normal before getting to Kate-as-whiny-and-fit-throwing-reader-surrogate to actually like her. I suppose I'm rooting for her because I too want background information on her siblings and her family tree and the universe construction in general, but I have a growing feeling that this book isn't concerned with my need for that.We begin with Kate and the reader on the same information level, but one peyote trip and radical haircu...

The art is great but the story is just so bad. I give up on this series. I'll gladly look for other books drawn by Leila del Duca though.

This volume is all about tying the strands of the previous volumes together and to start making the overall picture clear. Kate learns some things about her family and gathers her newfound siblings together. There's a major subplot focused on Leonis, as Kate and Shaw end up in conflict there, and Alarm Cat (Cassius) takes a surprisingly central role. A lot of stuff happens, much of it surprising, but a lot of it feels like it's not really consequential to the overall story. Still, the new charac...

Kate gets to meet the grandfather and the truth is revealed. A helluva ride still.

I feel like this is what you'd get if Quentin Tarantino wrote Saga and then it got edited by the people who brought us "Zootopia" The art is still lovely. I enjoyed Venice immensely, it was gorgeous even if that part of the story ended up being somewhat pointless. No, I get it, I understood why it happened but really? As a stepping stone, it's overused, polished featureless.But wait! There are new characters! New plotlines! New hairstyles! How can it be bad?It's not bad. It's just been done befo...

I like this series. It has sooo much potential and sometimes the result is 100% awesome! But in this 3rd book I still feel like not much has happened. Maybe because what happens is a bit vague sometimes, we still don't know much of what is going on or why it's going on. And sometimes I just get confused. There were a couple of times that I had to go back to make sure I didn't skip any pages cause I didn't know how we got where we were. I want to continue because I want to know more about this, b...

I'm actually pretty confused. A bunch of characters show up in flashy ways that suggest I should already know who they are, some characters appear in the last few panels with no introduction whatsoever, and declarations are made at the end that sound like the result of a lot of exploration and development. Is this just how the book reads, or is there extra content that appears between volumes 2 and 3? Because at the end, I was feeling less and less involved in what was happening and more like I

Okay this one lost me. The whole lead up in volume one and two was for Kate learning about her true identity and who her siblings are. But she does peyote and it skips all of it?! I get that it's mysterious and makes the ending more impactful, but it just felt sloppy that here we were going on this journey with her and then we (the readers) are left out. While it is an interesting narration choice, I don't think it works with how zany the world is. There needs to be some part of the text that is...
