Oblivion Song by Kirkman and de Felici, Book 3, Book 3 by Lorenzo De Felici, Robert Kirkman
4.0

Oblivion Song ends on a sweet, somewhat bitter, yet lighthearted tone that I kind of love even if it's a little safe.

What I really loved here was closer to the end we get a flashback scene. Flashbacks sometimes are put just to explain a situation or plot point. But here it's to help the growth of two characters in HUGE ways while also giving context to them in ways I didn't expect. I especially loved this part and it really helped me enjoy the entire story of Oblivion Song even more.

The Alien invasion we were promised happens and I really like how things got settled. Not the typical way, which made it exciting and fun. Also the art seemed to be the best it ever was in this volume.

I will say it feels safe, no big twist, and even with the one big twist it settled back to nahhhh we good. So little let down. But overall I enjoyed the ending and the entire series a lot. Kirkman is the king of endings TBH.
