actual rating: 3.5This is basically a review of volumes 5-8 since I got kind of sucked in at the halfway point and didn't stop to write reviews for each volume. Kind of torn on this one because it was enjoyable enough but the last two volumes kind of felt like the ending to an entirely different story than the one we started with. I really liked the original cast of characters and the small town feel of the whole thing but towards the end a lot of new characters were introduced in a short period...

5 Full Stars

man, i got no clue what's going on. time to reread volume 7!

This review can also be found on my blog: https://graphicnovelty2.com/2017/04/2...The last volume was a poignant ending to the complete series, and felt true to the beginning. The series had such a promising start, and while I struggled a bit in the middle wondering where the mystery was headed, it came together beautifully at the end.There was a lot to cover in the conclusion of the series, as General Cale, the splinter militia groups and the escaped Revivers are in the woods and preparing for

And so the series comes to a close - and I must its a spectacular finale. Ironically the book is called stay a little longer and in fact the book is slightly longer than the previous instalments - I wonder if they had too much to say and had to add a few more pages in - not that I am complaining as I have enjoyed this series far more than I expected.You see I stumbled across this series purely by accident in a charity shop and saw the first two books and thought why not. So here I am 6 books lat...

All the stars for this final volume as well as the series as a whole. It was a very satisfying conclusion.

I can't say I'm dissatisfied with the ending, but it didn't have a lot of depth to it. A lot of the answers were glossed over in favor of gun battles. In these last two volumes, Revival shifted from a rural noir to a post-apocalyptic flick complete with the government trying to wipe out the town and Snake Plissken's daughter. I would have preferred an ending focusing on the Cypress family and the core group of characters. While I still liked it, the last 2 volumes did come off the rails some.

Rushed and sidetracked. But still good.World: The art was great, the emotions were real and the art really informed the tone of the book. The world building was good, the pieces in the end and the revelation was very rushed and very light on depth and there were the Milita and all the other new pieces which were the sidetrack I did not like (it felt like the last season of Fringe) but it was done and handled as well as it could given the 6 issues it had to tell the end of the story. Just not the...

Kinda weird seeing the series ending at issue 47.Regardless, we finally understand who killed Martha, and the reason behind it.Martha's unborn child seems to be the key to everything. A quest to seek immortality by some folks that went terribly wrong. General Cale got what she had coming. And I loved it!At the end of the day, I think Revival is all about mending family relationships. Particularly, the Cypress's.The series had its ups and downs. But overall, it was a thrilling ride.That final aft...

Read 02/01/2019As much as I didn’t want this to be the case, this was a bust. If all that mattered was that the artwork be bright & aesthetically pleasing, it would’ve been 5 stars all the way. It was the artwork that made turning each page a delight rather than a drag despite the dragging storyline.I think conceptually this deserved more than 3 stars, but execution was poor. The whole soul separated from body is a matter that’s been addressed/discussed/theorized/expanded on a plenty, & I though...

This is awful, loved every volume before, but this volume was too rushed, new people added, but then ignored, events unfolding that time wise don't even make sense. Ruined what was a great comic with a truly terrible and rushed ending, that didn't even really make that much sense.

Not as good of an ending as it could have been. I get the distinct impression that Seeley wandered farther afield than he had intended to, and ended up having to yank the plot back onto the rails at the last possible minute. The solution to the mystery of Em's murder and the cause of the revival is particularly rushed. Really great last page, though.

My biggest gripe with these last two trades was the introduction of characters that feel they should have been brought into the story much sooner. And I'm not sure I was sold on the whole reveal of what "caused" the entire thing, perhaps I missed something in the earlier issues but I didn't see the threads that they were tying together at the end for me.Still, apart from these few missteps, it was a solid series and a unique story. Definitely will pick up more of Seeley's work later on.

A touching conclusion to a sometimes mixed bag story. Always worth it for the artwork, however.

Pretty lame infodump of an ending to what was once my favorite running comic. At least it ended, but I felt like I was reading a wikipedia summary of all the answers to all the questions; the plot was somehow both incoherent and too tidy. Bummer.

The series felt like it went off the rails when the Amish ninja was introduced.

Overall a pretty good series. Redemption, solutions and movement to a better future.

4 stars for the series as a whole.I really loved the series. I thought the story was a good one even if I'm not sure that I bought the explanation at the end. The story had so many characters I loved and cared for, artwork that was beautiful to look at and felt right for the story, and I was sad when it came to an end.

So we got a conclusion, and a pretty good one at that. (view spoiler)[ We find out two men tried to do a ritual sacrifice for immortality. However, one of the women sacrificed was pregnant and therefore the sacrifice was "too much" and the immortality started to spread, literally bringing the dead back to life. (hide spoiler)]I have to admit I didn't guess the identity of the murderer nor did I put everything together before it was revealed. Overall a pretty complex plot that never really lost

A convoluted, rushed, disappointing end to the series. Too much plot crammed into the last few pages, and the explanations for so many events felt like a cop-out.
