Waking the Destroya!

by Gerard Way, Shaun Simon, Becky Cloonan (Illustrator)

In the Lobby, a district surrounding Battery City shrouded in darkness and electric disease, the android population hope their messiah will one day come and set them free. It is believed that a godlike superrobot called Destroya will rise from the desert, part the clouds, and liberate the indentured servants held captive by the BLI-supplies electricity. One day the robots hope to bask in the sun's rays and know what freedom is.

I have to admit, it was epic, but just be aware that sh*t happens that just don't make sense.

I have no idea how this series Waking the Destroya The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys 5 is going to end within the next couple of issues. There are so many themes and ends still floating around. And, quite honestly, I don't want it to end anytime soon. Not that I want it to drag on, but I'm concerned I will be left with too many questions.

Fair warning - There be spoilers ahead...

......

I also was so sad with Cola. His death was so abrupt and felt so unnecessary and ill-timed. I wonder, though, if that wasn't part of the point. Death frequently is all of those, especially in times and situations of revolution.

The Phoenix Witch's conversation with The Girl about her future choices is interesting. I am partial to the presentation of the choice between giving life and taking life, as either choice is fraught and not guaranteed to be the best.

I'm looking forward to what The Girl decides to do with the power she seems to contain. And I'm even more interested in what Blue and Korse will decide to do and how their choices will intersect with all the other major decisions in play.

Next issue is supposed to wrap all. I hope that the story isn't hurried as a sacrifice to the issue number. I would rather read more issues of a very good story than have it constrained and diminish.

Loved, loved, LOVED this one. I cannot wait until the next issue, the cliff hanger is almost too much...
