Well, at least I can say I finished this one out, but the whole ending felt pretty much like a giant WTF fell out of the sky and landed on my head. Was that really the endgame Roberson had planned?
And maybe everything about this cute little comic was leading up to some sort of weird tentacle monster apocalypse kind of thing. <--who am I to judge creative genius?
I mean, it wasn't like it was an awful ending to the title or anything, it was just...odd.
But at least everything is basically tied up as far as the plot threads go, so it wasn't a waste of my time to snag this one. Plus, the art is cool.
If you've already read the first 3 volumes, there's no real reason not to read this one, I suppose.

Well . . . that’s the ending of the iZombie series. Pretty much seemed like a phoned in rush job just to bring the series to a close. They might as well have called this issue “Deus Ex Machina” as almost every frame was like “Oh, here are some people that we need to be here to continue the story” and “Oh, suddenly we are all here where the important stuff is happening”.
For a series that started off so well, I am disappointed that it ended this way. In fact, I am not sure you really need to read the previous volumes because they throw it all out the window to bring it to a close. All the focus on Gwen as the zombie protagonist is gone as she is hardly in this volume until the very end. Every character they introduced throughout the previous books is in this, but they have very little purpose except to interact with each other in a way that will get them all to the same place for the big climax. In fact, there are two or three characters I am not even sure they ever explained why they were there – they just show up! It really feels like the creators were suddenly told they were cancelling the series and the author and artist scrambled to get it done. I even feel like the art is less crisp – like it was rushed.
I should have known it wasn’t going well when it took me two weeks to read this because I was never really interested in going back to it.
While I enjoyed the first 3 volumes, I cannot say I recommend the series because I know you are building up to a disappointing ending.

It's tough to give a verdict on this series. I know that it got canceled before the creative team wanted it to end. Which lead to a rushed ending, so all the loose ends could get tied up. Maybe the pacing would have been better if the book had been allowed to unfold naturally. Or maybe not, because the pacing had seemed slow to me through the first three volumes. I don't really mind the rushed feel through most of the book, because it does feel apt. But after the climax is a sort of epilogue that throws everything together so quickly that I almost wish they hadn't bothered with it at all. Obviously, Roberson wanted to see all of the characters settled, but I feel like it needed an entire issue to really do justice to it. Or at least more than 4-5 pages. Obviously, that couldn't happen, and I can't blame Roberson for it.

I was disappointed in the end of this series. I knew it would end, but this weirdly? Or badly? It wasn't quite as I expected. The whole Xitalu-end-of-the-world kind of thing? A little over the top. Not that the series wasn't already "over the top" but this just didn't work for me. I preferred Gwen's quieter, more "normal" brain-eating zombie life.
Also, I didn't like it when some of the story was drawn "cartoony".
Still, the series as a whole was fun and entertaining, just a bit of a mess at the end.

In case you've read this series and thought to yourself, "Man, I sure do wish this was a TV show...only, I wish her name was funnier than Gwen. You know what would be hilarious? If she were actually named Olivia and went by "Liv" because get it? Live? And she's dead? Hahaha! Oh! Oh! Make her last name Moore! Liv Moore! SO hilarious. Also, I wish she had been an anal-retentive, goal-oriented med student before she died so she could come back, all Dead Like Me-style, and get a job where no one would recognize her but not as a gravedigger. I think it would be more awesome and sexy if she worked in a morgue because who wants to see a woman perform manual labor on TV? No one, that's who. And I think they should switch out all the original zany characters for more standard characters because it's far more believable to have a zombie with a neurotic former roommate as a best friend. Who would ever believe a ghost from the '60's as a best friend? No one, that's who. Yeah, I'd like this a lot more if they could just change everything but the part where there's a zombie who has to be sneaky about eating brains."
Well, then, your wishes have been granted because CW is turning this into a series and it seems to have very little to do with the story in these graphic novels.
http://www.cinemablend.com/television...
So what does it say about me that I find the cover to be awfully romantic? Dude, there's something wrong with me.
The story has come to an end. It's not a surprising end in any way and it's a bit of a cluster, actually. There are just so many storylines that need tying - and they get tied - so many characters who need to be placed in the action at the end, so much going on. I found it flustering and almost silly, especially in light of what was happening.
So, yes, it did turn out to be a grown-up's Scooby-Doo. Am I satisfied with the overall story? Sure. Will I read it again? Probably not.

The last volume turned out to be the best. I loved the art and the story itself was nice and catching. The ending was quite weird but logical. Maybe there were too many characters which were not that significant or needed so the story got a little messed up. And what the heck happened to Horatio? Still that was an easy and fun read. It could be longer I guess but unfortunately this series was canceled. I haven't watched the TV show yet but after reading this I think I will. A lot of reviews say "charming" and yes it is charming.

Man, I don't know, this series really jumped the shark. I liked it much more when it was about a zombie girl and her wacky supernatural friends. I feel like it went from a fairly self-contained story, to a huge apocalyptic, unwieldy mythology in too few issues.

Collecting the last 11 issues of the 28-issue series (almost 40% of the whole series), this book hits all the same notes as the previous 3 volumes, with its quirky, offbeat premise and humour. As far as the ending itself is concerned: I did not see that coming. Kudos to Roberson, Allred, and everyone else involved with this series! This was one of the most unique, surprising, and enjoyable reading experiences I've had in a while...

Well, that was a good ending, considering all the craziness that was going on in the last couple of volumes. I have to say, I wanted to read more about Gwen and her life as a zombie rather than about lovecraftian monster bring the end of the world. But still, I liked iZombie. It's a shame it got cancelled and didn't get to tell the story the way creators intended. Still, it was a good ride.

Review:
I still liked the pretty art, great characters, and fun supernatural stuff, however, this was my least favorite of the series. I liked it when these were just about a zombie girl playing detective with her ghost and were-terrier best friends, monster hunter boyfriend, and hot mummy acquaintance, but this volume went full-blown saving-the-world-from-the-apocalypse. The story felt a little out of control and was less character-focused, and the ending was one that I personally didn't like. Also, some sections were done by a different artist, and that art style was very much not to my taste. So overall it was a good series, but the final volume was somewhat of a disappointment for me.

DC cancelled this series so it got wrapped with a messy yet logical conclusion. In my opinion this was what the Buffy-comics failed to be : charming fun. What a shame the creators had to rush the ending.
Looking forward to the tv series, based on this title : http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3501584/

I put off reading this for a long time as I wasn't enjoying these as much as I hoped but I wish I hadn't as this was the best out of all of them. I really liked this one and as the monsters appeared I was a bit worried it may become a bit childish but it didn't ruin it at all. Great ending aswell. It's a shame this series wasn't what I was expecting but it had some good points.

I know that this series got cancelled and so it's not entirely the creators' fault that this last installment is rushed and crammed full of stuff, after the rather slow (and at times plodding) build of the first three books.
But even though the book had to be jam-packed due to time constraints, as it were, this doesn't really excuse the fact that Gwen was barely part of the first half of the book, then she finally makes a decision, only to be trained in something which would normally take a lot of time and energy, but she manages in a few rushed hours.
And, yes, I know this is often a staple of these kinds of fish-out-of-water-hero books anyway, but in this book it was extra ridiculous, and the least the authors could've done was stretch the time span out a bit. Have Gwen more active at the start of the book, for instance. Or skip a couple of days/weeks within pages. I mean, I know they couldn't draw out the story, but, hell, do a freaking montage if you have to - but don't make your hero go from zero to sixty in under a minute and expect everyone to just go with it because, well, cancellation.
Also, continuity.
In one chapter we have Gwen stumble across Horatio and go "Horatio! When did you dye your hair green?" and Horatio give an explanation... only for the next chapter to have Gwen stumble across Hortatio and go "Horatio! I didn't know you were here? When did you dye your hair green?"
It was, like, 10 pages apart, give or take, and literally almost the same interaction.
And, no, it wasn't one of those things where it was the same event told from different perspectives or something - 'cause the first time someone was alive and the next time that someone was dead, so...
And, for the finale, I get the whole round-up thing. It happens. And I can buy Yeah, sorry - that was one chance encounter too many. It was also entirely unnecessary as it didn't really add anything to the story at all.
Also, it would've been nice if the big climactic battle was more than a few random side encounters, and Gwen spending pages dithering about aforementioned decision. (And, honeslty, why would she ever )
So, yeah...
Overall, it was an okay little series, though I still wish it was actually the detective-type story I was lead to believe it would be instead of going the weird angle... and while I forgive some of the rushiness of the last book for reasons outside of creative control, I still think it could've been better paced and less cheesy, even within the "omg, last book - must finish story!" constraints.
Meh.

Talk about going out with a bang - this book really manages to pull all the strands together and take the climax from Volume 3 and blow it out of the water. All the characters get time to shine, everything is tied together, and everything plays out very well. Some people live, some people die, and some people change irrevocably. This series is a gem, played out nearly flawlessly and ends leaving the reader wanting more.

I loved this series. The only bad thing I have to say, really, is that this last book felt forced. Almost as if they expected to have more time or more issues and didn't.
All in all, very good!

I'm wondering whether or not I ever loved iZombie. I mostly thought it was fine, and have always felt it was the kind of book that made me feel like I was eating candy on a hot day. I have always bought a new volume of iZombie when I had an itch for comics but nothing else to buy, and I just sort of pick up wherever it was and stumble along for the pretty art, because Roberson has this increasingly-terrible habit of recapping everything through voiceover, like, every five pages, so you couldn't get lost if you wanted to (seriously Chris, sometimes a dude just wantsa get lost, brah, I mean faaaahk).
This is the longest volume, which is satisfying, because they just don't make collections this long anymore, and it's nice to feel like you're actually reading something, as opposed to sort of flipping pages on a puff of air that's over in one shot. And who-knows-what with this cover, because the book is actually about fighting a giant purple Cthulhu.
But you know, so many people fall in love in this book that I guess that cover does sort of make sense.
But really it's the Cthulhu that takes this book into its final weirdo-gonzo-sheen.
I don't know. Lately I've been wondering, like, who cares who likes a thing or not? Like, media is such a kind of shitpile in which the things people say about it become more important than the thing itself. I don't know that I give a fuck whether or not I liked iZombie. It was totally fine, I passed time with it, I love you, it was good after naps.

This was a first for me: the first time I've read a comic get rushed to a conclusion because it was cancelled. iZombie survived for 28 issues over four trades, and it's a bit of an abrupt end, but still a good payoff for what ended up being a solid series after a few missteps here and there.
The first couple chapters/issues are very "...huh?" inducing, and then things pick up really, really quickly. There's a lot of plotting and a lot of action in a little time over the course of the rest of the book, and it really works out well. For a series that may have moved a little too slowly for me at times, picking up the pace works.
Plus, there's Lovecraftian elements! I'm honestly not sure if this was the overall plan or something cooked up after the quick cancellation, but the key plot to finish things out is straight out of a good old Cthuhlu story, and if you know me at all, you know that it's going to get my attention and quick.
Overall, it's hard to really pinpoint my feelings on the series on a whole. It's sort of like Dollhouse, or the last few episodes of Angel, where we get a glimpse of what might have been but ultimately end up kind of hustled off to the exit. It's not the fault of anyone involved with the series, thankfully - it was a fun ride with a lot of charm unlike anything I'd ever read in comic form. It's just a shame it had to end so quickly.

Sad to see this end. Things got crazy during the series. I really liked it.
Now that ending. Like what. Huh? I think it could have been ended differently. Of course, it had to be rushed because the series got... canceled? Oh fucking well. *sobs*
And dude, the artwork throughout this entire series was sooo good. I loved it. Some of my favorite ever. I feel like it doesn't get enough credit for the art? People should give it a chance just for that reason. I feel that this series is underrated in all aspects, though.
AND YES THERE IS A TV SHOW, BUT IT IS NOTHING LIKE THE COMIC. It is basically Veronica Mars: Zombie. Liv Moore (a big ass sigh to that name) solves crimes by getting visions from the brains she eats. Each episode has a crime (murder, mostly) which she helps solve. But there is also a continuing storyline, which I feel is the better part.
When it first started, I wasn't into it much. It just seemed like another damn show about solving murders, but with a zombie. But as it went on, it got better. I'm really interested to see where it goes. I'm on episode 9 right now, and I plan to keep watching.

[Review for the entire series] Though nothing like the show (which is better, let's be real), this is a fun world with (mostly) interesting -- if derivative -- characters. The first volume struggled a bit to find its footing, and then end struggled to stay there, but there are some interesting moments in the art and a solid backstory to explain the WHY of everything, which you don't always get in supernatural stories. There's a convenience to some things that didn't sit well with me, and I wish they'd dug a bit more into the conflicts and made it all a bit meatier*, the series was a pleasant bit of mindless* fun, and it's neat to see where the story for the show came from, and where it has gone.
Oh, and sidenote: what is with the boobs?! Everybody has braless torpedo boobs in this, I just. . . why?
*there's a zombie joke in there, somewhere.

I didn't much enjoy the first volume, but I had checked out all four volumes from the library so I plowed on through to the bitter end. And once you unleash Lovecraftian elder gods, boy, are you going to make me bitter. The other week my daughter mentioned to me that I'm not required to read a book just because I checked it out of the library. It's not a legal obligation, she pointed out. I need to listen to her more. I should have cut my losses after the first volume.

Fun pulpy craziness. I think I would have enjoyed this more if I'd been able to read it in quick succession with the other three volumes. I had a bit of a hard time remembering the larger context and backstory. But all the monsters are great and I'm mostly just sorry that we don't get to see more of Gwen's life as a gravedigger and braineater.

Ok, so... I hate when series are cancelled and the ending is ruined. Everybody hates it. And still here we are looking at the completely illogical finale to the iZombie story. I know, the creators tried to make it right, but it felt just not good enough.
I still love the covers though.

What a freaking WEAK ending!!! I am so disappointed. I have no more words...
December 13, 2018
iZombie: Repossession is Chris Roberson’s final installment in the iZombie comic book series, illustrated by Michael Allred and whoa. Just whoa. I wasn’t expecting such apocalyptic happenings and that ending! Both saddening, beautiful, and perfect, but mostly saddening! Just whoa.
Gwen and her friends thought that the zombie apocalypse had been thwarted, but sadly, that was only one version of the apocalypse that needed stopping. Another one is on the horizon, one that Amon has known about and has been trying to train Gwen for all this time, but now time has run out and the countdown has started.
This last set of comics were really exciting! So much was happening, so much was being revealed in these final moments that I am still shocked by the eventual outcome! And a bit puzzled with some things that weren’t really addressed, but I guess it’s just a take it or leave it kind of thing. I just didn’t fully understand how/why one new character was there and what it meant. And another character made me feel like it was someone else, that may or may not be true, and then wondering what will happen to Scott’s grandfather who has been possessing a chimpanzee all this time. Sadly, those questions are not ones to be answered.
But that didn’t detract my enjoyment from this! And wow, binge-reading comic is definitely the way to go! I love how quick the stories are but also engaging! The illustrations are lively as well. There’s one issue that might have been another artist or perhaps Michael just felt like doing something different because the style wasn’t the same as it’s been all this time. It was still amazing artwork though.
The absolute differences between these comics and the TV series is just mind-blowing! There’s no upcoming apocalypse or terrifying monster set out to destroy all mankind on the show, but there’s still plenty to the show that we don’t see in the comics. This last set of issues focused on the upcoming apocalypse and trying to stop the terrifying monster, Xitaul from coming, but that’s not the only entity coming to earth and Gwen is the prophesized one to put an end to it all.
I guess one thing I wish would’ve happened was more between Gwen and Horatio. As you might imagine, Horatio comes back to Gwen at a certain point and while I know romance during the end of the world is stereotypical and all, I just wish they could’ve had one happy moment together before all the chaos and then that ending! Whoa! It was definitely a bold way to go with things and yet, though it wasn’t a sad ending, I can’t help but feel a little weepy over it. All in all though, this was a most exciting series and it was a fun read for the past two days! A high endorsement for those who like iZombie and have never tried out comics before! I think you will be delighted by this comic series despite its differences from what you may have known before with the show!
Overall Rating 5/5 stars
Gwen and her friends thought that the zombie apocalypse had been thwarted, but sadly, that was only one version of the apocalypse that needed stopping. Another one is on the horizon, one that Amon has known about and has been trying to train Gwen for all this time, but now time has run out and the countdown has started.
This last set of comics were really exciting! So much was happening, so much was being revealed in these final moments that I am still shocked by the eventual outcome! And a bit puzzled with some things that weren’t really addressed, but I guess it’s just a take it or leave it kind of thing. I just didn’t fully understand how/why one new character was there and what it meant. And another character made me feel like it was someone else, that may or may not be true, and then wondering what will happen to Scott’s grandfather who has been possessing a chimpanzee all this time. Sadly, those questions are not ones to be answered.
But that didn’t detract my enjoyment from this! And wow, binge-reading comic is definitely the way to go! I love how quick the stories are but also engaging! The illustrations are lively as well. There’s one issue that might have been another artist or perhaps Michael just felt like doing something different because the style wasn’t the same as it’s been all this time. It was still amazing artwork though.
The absolute differences between these comics and the TV series is just mind-blowing! There’s no upcoming apocalypse or terrifying monster set out to destroy all mankind on the show, but there’s still plenty to the show that we don’t see in the comics. This last set of issues focused on the upcoming apocalypse and trying to stop the terrifying monster, Xitaul from coming, but that’s not the only entity coming to earth and Gwen is the prophesized one to put an end to it all.
I guess one thing I wish would’ve happened was more between Gwen and Horatio. As you might imagine, Horatio comes back to Gwen at a certain point and while I know romance during the end of the world is stereotypical and all, I just wish they could’ve had one happy moment together before all the chaos and then that ending! Whoa! It was definitely a bold way to go with things and yet, though it wasn’t a sad ending, I can’t help but feel a little weepy over it. All in all though, this was a most exciting series and it was a fun read for the past two days! A high endorsement for those who like iZombie and have never tried out comics before!

3.5/5
I'm sad that this ended at only 4 volumes. I wish they would have used Gwen's abilities to help others and incorporate more of the mystery aspects. The ending was lame in my opinion and felt really rushed. That aside, I still had a hard time putting it down and I love all the characters and the art enough to round the rating up to 4. I loved the entire series. This last one was just my least favorite. Likable but not quite lovable.

I have to say this was likely my least favorite volume in the series and I was a bit disappointed with the ending. It didn't exactly feel rushed, but it did seem tacked on and things were oversimplified in an effort to end it all. The series was definitely enjoyable and is worth reading, but this peaked for me with volume 3.

Finally finished this series of 4 books and what a ride!
It became a little bit crazy at the end but, on reflection, it all kinda made sense.
I would like to have got more of the back story of Gwen but this is only a minor quibble.
A satisfying day of "zombie reading"! 👽
