The Viltrumite War by Robert Kirkman
4.0

The War is on mofos, who's ready!?!?

So this is it. The big moment. It all comes down to this. Mark's very first obsticale? FUCKING Conquest!!! While this fight isn't AS good as volume 12 fight it's still very very good. It's shorter but just as bloody (maybe more so) and the end result is tragic and fucked up.

There feels like a little bit of "Oh really? They did this because...training?" DBZ type moment. I thought that was a little to silly. I also didn't feel the final issue was as emotional as it should have been after the previous events.

Saying that the war itself was insanely entertaining. We get all these characters from previous volumes coming together including Tiger Warrior, Tech Jacket, Allen the Alien and so many more. THe fight is amazing, really well drawn, filled with a lot of gasps and "holy shit" moments.

Overall the war lives up to the hype and the ending to the volume makes you want to grab the next one right away. Twist and turns never stop!
