I loved everything about this from start to finish.
This was a beautiful series and I thoroughly enjoyed both Tom King's writing and Greg Smallwood's gorgeous artwork. This was the first DC Black Label series that I read and I was not disappointed.
Christopher Chance's days are numbered. In the second half of this series he solves his own murder, accepts his fate, and falls in love...all of which are bittersweet as he only has a few days left to live. The inevitable ending meanders a bit, as if King and Smallwood were reluctant to let Chance go and, really, who can blame them. I was sad to see the series end as well.

It's been... a while since I've ventured into the
universe of Saga. When Volume 9 (issue #54) ended I was still buying
these issue by issue and I'm not going to lie, #54 was a heartbreaker! I
honestly wasn't sure I would continue. Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona
Staples took some time away from Saga and so did I, but I finally
decided it was time to come back.
It was easy to jump back in to Alana and Hazel (& Squire's) world, but I missed Marko. Frankly, I'm not sure Alana is particularly interesting without him. It appears it will just be more of the cycle of being hunted and running from more enemies and now with kids! Will I read volume 11? Probably. But I'm not in a big hurry. I still love the artwork but I don't have an urgent need to find out what happens next.

I really enjoyed getting back into the Runaways
and I'm super disappointed to learn that this is where the story ends
because there are a lot of threads left here that have not been tied up.
This issue was particularly wonderful despite some comic shenanigans and I wish Rowell had been given a bit more time to tie up some of those
dangling storylines.
I enjoyed the stories (Gib in high school, Wolverine, Nico coming clean about her staff, and some others), but I hate that there are so many questions left at the end. I think if there hadn't been such an abrupt end, I would've given it a higher rating, but ultimately I left disappointed.
