Dang, Lemire did me dirty with that cliffhanger! This series is exactly what I want from my horror. I continue to be blown away by the creativity of the artwork and the panel flow. It's gorgeously grotesque.
Well on the way to becoming one of my all time favorites, book three of this descent into barn shaped madness takes the reader on a journey back in time and boggles the minds some, the way time travel tends to, but also it's beginning to look a lot like answers. some answers might be coming the readers way in the near future. Awesome. Can't wait. Read these books. They are scary and as gorgeous as you'd ever hope for a genre comics to be.This and more at https://advancetheplot.weebly.com/
I don't understand this series at all. I'm so lost. I suppose I could reread it to figure out where my brain stopped making sense of things but honestly I don't care enough to bother.Individual issue reviews: #12 | #13 | #14 | #15 | #16Total review score: 1.6
In this latest installment in the creepy Gideon Falls series, we slowly learn more about the troubled history of Gideon Falls, Norton Sinclair's past, and how Father Burke fits into all of it, who has, up to this point, been a largely supporting character. It's confusing and maddening but it seems like it all fits into a potent horror tapestry. This definitely feels like it would read even better in a big binge when the series is complete.
It's creepy and atmospheric, just like the first two volumes, but all the oomph comes from the art rather than the story which doesn't really go anywhere - so much so that the lack of a recap or character list makes it difficult to follow if you aren't reading it on the heels of the prior volume.
Volume 2 really brought this from obscure to "wow!" but this one kind of falls back into the "what the heck is happening?" category again. I love Sorrentino's artwork, but I wish I had a better grasp on what was going on in this comic...
With this third volume, the series is starting to round into shape. It's a dimension spanning series as we see how Father Burke and Norton Sinclair fit into the story. Now I have some confidence this will all make sense in the end. I'm interested in how this series winds up.
Gideon Falls continues to be a interesting adventure even if this volume slips a bit. So this focuses on a secondary character here, and get a lot of background here. When I say background, it's alot of confusion but least you learn this is basically different worlds or different timezones? Not 100% sure but get a few clues there. Then the ending goes back to our main characters and the ending is leading to some really confusing stuff but still emotional. This is probably the most confusing and
(4,2 of 5 for surreal sci-fi horror with displeasing art but somehow terrific panel work)The third book of the Gideon Falls has a killer pace so I was through it very quickly. That doesn't mind -Gideon Falls is great, but it's not indulging reading. Especially for the art, which is not in my taste. I believe this is the first art where even Dave Steward's colours don't help much. But I very much like how Sorrentino works with the panels. It's both for the show and for underlining the atmosphere
“The. . . The Pentoculus? “Indeed.”After reading some visually rather unremarkable comics it is really amazing to see a first-rate artist doing work at the top of his game as we see from Andrea Sorrentino in Gideon Falls, which after all, is a (or, is it just just another, for you?) demon possession story for your reading pleasure, with volume 3, The Stations of the Cross, just in time for Halloween. I’m also reading Robert Kirkman’s Outcast (which is also big on psychological horror and thin on...
In "Stations of the Cross", Volume 3 of Jeff Lemire's graphic novel series Gideon Falls: Father Burke, in 1886, enters the Black Barn and discovers its horrific secrets; he follows the Smiling Man to numerous Gideon Falls; Father Burke ends up as Bishop and comes full circle; Father Fred still isn't sure who he is; Norton arrives back at his own Gideon Falls where he is Danny, but he has accidentally brought something back with him.None of this will make sense to you if you haven't read the firs...
On reread this was so goodI actually dont understand whats going on. Its very creepy but plot wise oh so confusing
This is a very trippy story-arc that allows artist Andrea Sorrentino to go all out on a visual level. The story now pushes the narrative twist to unexpected boundaries that introduce to the horror story a very psychedelic element. However, there's all that's left to be taken for granted and, hopefully, this will be unraveled in the next volume.Yours truly,Lashaan | Blogger and Book ReviewerOfficial blog: https://bookidote.com/
This one is weird as fuck, but some of the answers to who certain people are and how they all connect to each other is finally starting to come together.I'm not 100% sold on this because the plot is almost a bit too psychedelic and random for my personal taste. But.On the other hand, this might be the start of all of those random plot threads and psychedelic imagery starting to coalesce into something solid.I guess we'll see.
SUPER FAST REVIEW:On one hand interesting. On the other hand the fuck did I just read?While I normally love the art it’s kinda mixed in this volume.Not bad but I hope volume 4 picks the series back up.3/5
Awwww man! What a place to end the volume! Obviously, I’m enjoying this series. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Gideon Falls is the best horror series I’ve read since Locke and Key. The writing and the art are just pitch perfect. The pacing is superb, with mysteries being revealed juuuuuust quickly enough to avoid having suspense turn into frustration. I’ve been a fan of Lemire’s work since his Essex County days. It's been a joy to see the recognition of his talent grow with each new...
Might be the weakest one of the series, than previous ones. But still good and showing lot of background in this story.
Starting to feel a large amount of "sure.. whatever.." towards this series.(Read as five single issues)
V3 of Gideon Falls takes a rather surprising step back to detail the history of one of our largely unseen supporting characters, and so reveal some of the history of the Falls. It's surprising, and unexpected, and gives off some of the vibe of Paper Girls, except it feels much more powerful here.Just to keep us going, Lemire also gives us a couple of issues set in the modern day. Though they each provide a very notable plot point, the pace is a bit glacial, my only complaint is this beautiful, h...
What can I say. It's Jeff Lemire. It's weird/horror.10/10
