It was interesting to get more background on the side characters, but man this volume just landed flat for me. The ending feels like a cheap attempt at shock value. Hopefully vol 5 makes up for it.
Continues to exceed expectations
Leila Del Luca's art just keeps getting better. Enough to compensate for the times Keatinge's writing sucks.I'm really not happy with that ending though, and it's not because it was shocking or horrific. It was just so much built up without anything panning out. I won't spoil it here though.
All Roads is the first volume of Shutter where I felt like I fully understood what was going on. Volume 4 takes a step back to make sense of the chaos and confusion of the first 3. There is finally real character development, as the backstories of the core characters are revealed.
What the what what? I think the next volume is the last. Kind of glad because this story is getting confusing.
The stakes are high! (view spoiler)[Chris is off with the cat clock burning things down! And dad showed up! (hide spoiler)]Really looking forward to the next volume!
So there was that. It's hard to be super into this series because there's nothing to hold onto. Every time there's something that make sense in this book, the next volume tears that idea apart. I mostly just keep coming back to try and figure out these endings. I don't know it's just a bit much. The only real positive thing I can think of is that I'm glad Cassius is back.
Shutter remains a passable action series, but it still feels like it’s missing just a little something to put it over the edge into awesome territory.
After reuniting with her long lost siblings, Kate decides to take on the secret society that has been plaguing them all this while.
Well shit......This volume was the best yet. The main story between the two secret societies that have been plaguing Kate and her siblings is being revealed, and the story definitely has a destination. That being said.....THAT ENDING!!!!!! OMFGosh!!!! (see spoilers down below) I don't even know how to process the fact that I only have one final volume to read! (view spoiler)[ Why would you introduce great new characters, show us heartbreaking backstory, give us more of the great side characters
Shutter continues to be a highly underrated series among Image's impressive back catalog. And with this volume, Joe Keating and Lelia De Luca continues to push story and art boundaries. This is particularly apparent in the three intertwining stories of three different characters as well as backstories created through different art styles (mostly European in tradition, Baba comes to mind with some of the styles as Tin Tin.) It also helps that this elevates the story which has some great twists an...
While things are coming together for the Kristopher klan, I'm mixed on the pacing and wanting more Prospero backstory, but that's to come in Volume 5.
These danged cliffhangers. I can't even tell you exactly what is happening in this series, but I'm in for the long haul.
as i continue to read this series I feel more and more lost - too many details, too many similar characters, too many plots
Reread this so I could review the finer details before moving onto the finale volume. Whether I like where it went or not, the storyline always fucks me up in the best way. So much love and so much death. One of the better graphic novels of this time.
Holy crap! I did not see that ending coming! Most of the book is Kate meeting and gathering her brothers and sisters to go after Prospero while seeing some of their backstories, but then that end, yeesh. I have no idea where we're headed next.This is a hidden gem from Image. The storytelling is excellent. The world so imaginative. Del Luca's art is terrific. She has such a vivid imagination to draw all these quirky characters. It's definitely a series everyone should check out.
I think you could call this the Empire Strikes Back of the series; there's a sequence that is very reminiscent of moments in the movie. This volume is all about Kate revealing the overall story to all the relevant parties, and taking the first steps on the road to her goals. The climax is all the description says it will be - not everyone survives. It's nice to get so much of the overall story laid out, and there are some fun sequences, especially flashbacks for Kate and Huckleberry. The art is
Wow. A lot happened.I definitely need this series for my book shelf.
"Kate knows everything; we don't!" screams the tagline of this volume, efficiently highlighting my largest problem with this series.I want to be clear, I don't mind not knowing everything about this universe or its characters. Going through a very in-depth history wouldn't be interesting to most readers, and would take up a lot of space where our otherwise fast-moving plot would like to be. My concern is that we aren't getting it not because it's long and unwieldy, but because it's poorly built
Please don't stop giving us so much weird-as-hell action.
