Well that was shit.The entire volume is comprised of one long running mass fight. Half a dozen half-trained, badly injured bickering high schoolers mow down literally dozens upon dozens of homicidal ninjas, while Remender's trademark tortured pseudophilosophical voiceover slow-rolls across the panels. Characters are repeatedly saved at the last second by lame contrivances.Deadly Class v7 is like a textbook on How to Fail.
I own this book. Dude...We're getting the gang back together. When the "peaceful" holiday Marcus and Maria were on is interrupted by Petra and the freshmen from Kings Dominion ends with the Yakuza gang finding them and wanting Marcus alive, everything goes to well...shit. Viktor is there and also wants Marcus, but wants him dead. The Mexican police are also after them. Really, everyone is killing everyone and nobody is sure who to trust. When they have to split up, Marcus finds himself having
Rick has created one of the best ongoing series at IMAGE and Deadly Class keeps pushing. If the last two volumes were a bit slow for you don't worry, Volume 7 says "LET'S GO!!!!" and action hits a all time high. We get a great internal monologue with a ton of characters, making fun of Frank Miller's writing (WOOT!), and some balls to the walls fight scenes that are out of this world awesome. I would love to tell you what happens but it's so much spoilers I hardly can. Let's just say the kids all...
I'm crying and I don't know why. Issue 32#: 4.5 StarsIssue 33#: 5 StarsIssue 34#: 4.5 StarsIssue 35#: 5 Stars
The art team is killing it (sometimes literally)! Remender keeps on dialling up the ante on the soap-opera elements of the series while the violence escalates in tandem. Stylish, great looking comic.
The last volume left us in dramatic cliffhanger territory. This one picks up immediately, and just races to the finish, with constant dramatic action and arc resolution. This one is ALL CLIMAX and it's such a great ride. Deadly Class is, and remains, the shit. Some incredible moments in here, truly. I can't wait to see where the series goes now.
For some reason I thought when I ordered all the volumes it was a finished series, but it seems I've now got to wait for the next volume. Bummer, cause of course all these volumes end on cliffhangers. Anyway, I'm finally beginning to get into this series and am invested in the story. Can't wait for the next one.
Solid arc, Rick Remender is great at contrasting the highs and lows with some of the worst moments for the characters coming right after their best moments. However, this is a series that pulls a little too many punches. Nearly every main character has been “killed” but survives.
This was good, but quite frankly, a bit exhausting to read. This volume is one long action sequence, as yakuza, corrupt Mexican cops, and Victor and Brandy close in on our heroes, resulting in one heck of an extended fight. The writing is good, the artwork is great. But I was seriously feeling tired by the end of this.
Deadly Class improves with each new issue. ‘Love Like Blood’ was a whirlwind of body parts, drama, vengeance, and pain. I didn’t think anything could have topped the previous volume, but here I am eating my words.What an action-packed arc! The plot is progressing wonderfully amidst all the chaos— (and could there be an endgame in sight?). It certainly felt like this particular volume was the culmination of many past story arcs converging. The tides are changing, and I’m eager to see where it all...
Whoa man! That was intense. Remender’s books are like roller coaster rides and this one is the one people are afraid to get on. The ups and downs can be heart wrenching and cycles 5 times in a single spread. He’s good man. I have trouble differentiating some of the character sometimes. And it moves back and forth between different characters so quickly and so often that I occasionally lose track. But those are minor complaints in the grand scheme. I was also gonna complain about the fact that fo...
There's a lot of stabbing and dying in this one, so I guess we'll see who's still standing at the end.I can't say I'm really invested in any of these characters, unfortunately. They aren't likable and they aren't supposed to be likable, I guess. Remender has put a bunch of cliches in a Hogwarts for Ninja Assassins school, set it in the '80s, and cranked the violence up to 11. <--nothing wrong with that.If that sounds like your bag, you're going to love Deadly Class.
(A-) 84% | Very GoodNotes: A ton of death, as burdens crest and baggage boils over: bloody bluster, wall-to-wall, and beaten hearts beneath it all.
I get tired of so much fighting. Give me intrigue and deceit! Still good, though.
Damnwill something bad ever happen to the villains?there was a lot of death in this book, but not the death i was expecting.i enjoyed being back in marcus’ monologue. i hadn’t realized it was something i was missing until now.i wish we got to spend more time with saya, but i’m sure that plot line will come into play soon.
Bullet Review:Bonus points from last volume: there are lots of explosions. Everything is better with explosions.Bonus points for imitating Frank Miller's style.Minus points for doing that and being pretentious.Bonus points for someone who might actually be dead instead of deus ex machina'ing their way out of death.Questions: How long can someone take to die from a stomach gunshot wound that they insist will kill them in a few minutes? Would they be able to keep up with 5 relatively uninjured peo...
This is my favourite current series atm. So good!! Hits all the right places for me. Story, characters, action, intrigue it has it all!!
A good volume but personally Deadly Class is getting tired. This is one big battle of a volume and lots and lots of fighting between well... lots of people. Between all the warring factions and drama between all the kids its all getting muddled to me and I sort of stop caring when everyone has back stabbed everyone else. Rememder is a great author, one of my favs, but even his deep psychological insights gets tiresome after 7 volumes. The thing that bothers me the most with deadly class now is h...
Blood soaked finale to a long arc that just pulls you and does not let you go.World: Wes Craig’s art is fantastic, it’s stunning and the framing for this arc is superb. This is an all action arc and this is where the arc really flexed it’s creative muscle and it was a joy to look at. The world building here is also well done. All those pieces that Remender has been building since vol 1 pretty much all comes smashing together for this arc and the two group of kids really an arc to tie them all to...
‘’Think about the most important person in your life. Think about what you’d do to anyone who hurt them.You’d be amazed what it’ll get you through.An army of Yakuza at least.’’ Might just be my favourite volume so far! Epic fight, whole lot of craziness and I finally warmed up to the new kids.Also, might be alone in this, but Marcus and Maria??? My absolute babies. Love them separately, love them together, they're so much fun to read. ‘’The only thing that matters.Get out of here. Find her.W
