Trying to find and save a little good, political and news stories fucking everything up, a dark ending. This is what I read The Question for.

Having it show the toll of predator hunting is pretty great. But not sure where we're going at the end.

A serviceable goodbye to The Question by Dennis. It just felt kind of rehash instead of covering new ground.

Stays highly entertaining of two people forcing a marriage that's not real. This time the father of the main guy comes around trying to find out why he wasn't aware he was getting married. It's funny, cute, and a lot of charming moments. I overall enjoy this series for it's more fun laid back approach.

A good manga basically showcasing you can be who you want to be, and don't have to fit into a box. A lot of talk about sexuality and feelings, and being comfortable, that hit home to probably a lot of people. While I enjoyed the characters, sometimes they felt more like a mouth peace for the actual story than characters inside a story if that makes sense. But overall a well written, and in some ways probably eye opening story for people questioning themselves.

Broken into the last 3rd of O'Neil's run and also the minis and crossovers after.

The first part, the final third of Neil's run, is just as strong as the rest of his run. The Question is starting to lose it. No matter how much "good" he wants to do, every action he does seems to either backfire or not pan out the way he hopes. Eventually leading him down a path of self destruction, of loss, of not believing in himself or his city or any of his friends.

It's a tragic look into giving up but one that feels so real, I give kudos for O'Neil for nailing the themes and ending to his run. I honestly could have been happy just ending the entire character right there. However, this is comics so...

We get into the first 5 part mini, 3 of the 5 parts are actually great. All written by Neil and feel like a sequel to his main series. Only 1 issue is just okay and the other bad, but overall gives a new character to the group for Vic and his return to his terrible city that still is fun as before.

Then we get into the crossovers. Most are pretty meh at best. The Green Arrow annuals never live up to how good the Question stories are sadly. And the return for neil at the very end feels half baked and not really needed.

So first half is excellent, a 4.5 out of 5. Second half barely a 2.5 out of 5 sadly.

So I'll end up around a 3-3.5 out of 5 for me overall. Still worth reading for people who loved the first volume, which is FANTASTIC and one of my favorite Omnibus of all time.

A crossover ain't gonna help Moon Knight be any better lol. Terry is a over-writer. Meaning he writes too much dialogue for no reason, hate that. Overall though least this has a ton of action that looks decent. Too bad the story isn't nearly as good.

There's some fun moments here, especially with the main character dissing how dumb some of these girls are. However, the plot felt like it was at a standstill. One lead up to the test took almost the ENTIRE volume...like what? But it's a easy read, solid art, and all 5 girls are cute. A 3 out of 5.

This is a fun comic. That simple. I didn't take it serious, and that worked out well for me. Lots of cursing, blood, incent, gore, and so much more. Just entertaining as fuck, even if it's a little stupid. Getting volume 2 for sure.
