Summary

At long last, it’s the Home Sick Pilots- in a walking haunted house- vs the Nuclear Bastards- in a mech fueled by the sins of the nation。 A battle of the bands to end all battles。。。 And probably the world as we know it。

DAN WATTERS (Arkham City: The Order of the World, COFFIN BOUND) and CASPAR WIJNGAARD (Star Wars, Peter Cannon: Thunderbolt) return for a third volume of bloody action, busted guitar pedals, and ghosts。

This ruled。 Watters packs a lot in here and makes the world feel bigger than ever, but it rarely feels bloated or clunky。 It's a less action-packed volume, which is a good choice for the finale as it lets the story focus on wrapping up its various thematic and narrative threads。 The execution isn't perfect, and I don't know if all the emotional resolutions are fully earned。 But I admire the shots it takes enough that the almost-there delivery still resulted in a satisfying conclusion, in my mind This ruled。 Watters packs a lot in here and makes the world feel bigger than ever, but it rarely feels bloated or clunky。 It's a less action-packed volume, which is a good choice for the finale as it lets the story focus on wrapping up its various thematic and narrative threads。 The execution isn't perfect, and I don't know if all the emotional resolutions are fully earned。 But I admire the shots it takes enough that the almost-there delivery still resulted in a satisfying conclusion, in my mind。 I would've happily read another volume, which is always a good feeling to end a series with, especially if there's wiggle room for a sequel。 Wijngaard's art is as terrific as ever, and he might deliver some of his best work to date in these pages。 The spectacle isn't quite as bombastic as it's been in the past, but he gets to draw some wonderfully eerie visuals that are just as colorful as they are deeply unsettling。 Watters' story is a great hook, but it's Wijngaard who arguably made this series。 Despite some choppiness, all three volumes are a lot of fun to read and get a lot of mileage from the wild-and-wacky genre mash-ups the series is built on。 I'm happy I stuck with it to the end and would not say no to more stories in the world that Watters and Wijngaard's blood and punk-rock-fueled imaginations created。 。。。more

Pretty much just a direct continuation of the second Volume, but one that manages to tie everything together with a beautiful little bow at the end。Art is beautiful as always, and I will not stop recommending this series to anyone I think would like it。

As a series it goes so much deeper than it’s horror and aesthetics, it has somin to say and says it with a shout and heart to it。 Really adored this run。 Focused, on message, super cool, and wrapped up at the end。 Doesn’t shy from anti-right wing messaging, always pretty art, never boring panels, the text is well balanced and the trade covers all being so consistent is an added bonus。 Love this run。

It is fun when big stuff fight。

Home Sick Pilots makes me want to hang out with friends and listen to music, which is the best compliment to a graphic novel I can think of。5 stars whole series!

Beats you over the head a bit hard with the ghosts of America deal, but it wrapped the story up nicely。

When I realised that this was going to be the last arc of Home Sick Pilots, I was very disappointed - I thought there was a lot more story to tell, and I didn't think they'd be able to wrap it all up in a satisfying manner in five issues。 And yet, here I am, pleasantly surprised at just how well it all shakes out。There's only one ghost left to complete the House, even as the Nuclear Bastard attempts to smash it to bits。 There are final confrontations on all fronts here, both the physical, the me When I realised that this was going to be the last arc of Home Sick Pilots, I was very disappointed - I thought there was a lot more story to tell, and I didn't think they'd be able to wrap it all up in a satisfying manner in five issues。 And yet, here I am, pleasantly surprised at just how well it all shakes out。There's only one ghost left to complete the House, even as the Nuclear Bastard attempts to smash it to bits。 There are final confrontations on all fronts here, both the physical, the metaphysical, and the emotional, and right up until the last few pages we get resolutions to stories and answers to questions, even ones we might not have asked。It's a bittersweet ending, I'll admit, but the longevity of the ideas presented is apparent in the epilogue that takes up the last few pages of the final issue。 Even when the ghosts are dead and buried, the Home Sick Pilots will live on。Fifteen issues never feels like enough for a series, especially when Image basically lets you tell your story however quickly or slowly you like as long as you make sales。 But Home Sick Pilots works as a story in three acts, even as much as I'd like it to have been longer。 Rock on, my dudes。 。。。more
