Sacrifice tome 4

The Sacrificers #4

by Rick Remender, FIUMARA Max (Illustrator), ARAÚJO André Lima (Illustrator)

The war of the gods reaches its catastrophic peak as Pigeon’s rebellion ignites and the oppressed rise to strike down the divine tyrants who’ve fed on their lifeblood for generations. From the ashes of Harlos, only a single scorched hope remains. In the aftermath, Soluna is left to reckon with the brutal cost of her choices. Old wounds split open, fragile alliances collapse, and survival in the new world proves more dangerous than the war that forged it.

La conclusion de cette série de dark fantasy de Rick Remender. Le dessin reste d'une belle constance et fait preuve de virtuosité.
J'ai été un petit peu déçu du dénouement final, dont je n'ai pas forcément saisi l'articulation.

A fitting end to the series. I still love the art more than the story, as the later arcs include lots of action/fight scenes which aren't my jam.

For years, I have absolutely loved Remender's weighty dissection of hope, courage, and sacrifice. These are terms that can be so brazenly thrown around with lighthearted fare—cute and obvious, as though inevitable. People offer up "You gotta do what ya gotta do" or "Keep on truckin'" vibes when each of those three things could make a person insane. Hope can be a poison, courage can be a downfall, and sacrifice can ruin a world. These are not easy summits; they are blood and madness and wreckage. But they are important. They are sometimes the only way forward. There is simply a toll that must be paid in some ventures toward the other side of battle, to live a decent life in the land of victory.

This volume kicks off in full glory, prophet of vengeance vs. smug and brutal god. I can't believe how much happens after here—and that it could sustain so much speed and strength. Give a heavy crown to a brute and its simply jewelry; give it to a weakling and it'll break its neck; give it to someone who came to claim it from nothing and nobody knows what could happen. It could be prosperity or pestilence; power is a magic that can't be understood until it's too late.

This series had a lot of ups and downs, and, unfortunately, I started to look forward to the fill in issues from Araujo since I just can't get enough of him, lately. I thought this series started pretty good, and this last volume takes some interesting turns, but, at the end of the day, I'm not sure I could really get on board with how Remender and company decided to end it. The more I contemplate the ending, I guess it kind of tracks, but maybe it just wasn't for me.

Long depressing story about people’s inability to possess reason and rational thinking. Which just lets us know that we are a doomed species.

I wonder why there is no universal rationality.

Like in what condition do we decide the murder of children is okay, or rape, or abuse. It just seems that should be a worldwide zero tolerance no matter the circumstances.

3.1🌟

Wow, I had no idea this was the end.
A sudden unexpected finale for me I still loved the journey this amazing series brought me on from start to finish.
The artwork is incredible. You can frame any page from the book and hang it on a wall and stare in awe.

4.5 Deals with the victory of overthrowing the system in a very dark and dour way. Of course I didn't expect sunshine and rainbows but geez. Its Greek tragedy levels with this series’ momentous narration boxes vocabulary adding to it even more. It's quite heart bending at times and shows the difficulty of trying to fix the system when trying to change the system leads to long times of suffering. The ending was bittersweet but strong, showing how the old guard all had to sacrifice, even if they didn't know it and were just trying to change the system, and die out before meaningful change happened.

Loved this story and the art. I will have to read it all again in one go.

Not sure though what the final message is supposed to be : fighting your whole life for something and giving it all up in the last moments :/

Una coda algo larga, pero fue un buen cierre

[R.J. Huneke · Rating 5 out of 5]

What an end! A great tale! A classic!

[Patrick · Rating 5 out of 5]

Grand, epic finale. Gorgeous art and colors.

[Jorge · Rating 5 out of 5]

Best of the four volumes by far

[M.i. · Rating 3 out of 5]

I have enjoyed the sacrificers series, including its saga of rebellion, but the conclusion I can’t accept.

Better yet. It was unsatisfactory to me.

[Jim Furey · Rating 4 out of 5]

What does sacrifice mean if you just end up with another version of what you fought against?

Rick Remender once again asks a tough question, and does his best to answer it.
The artwork continues to elevate the story past what the words say.
Plus, another sneaky reference to Seven to Eternity.

bittersweet bookends.

the dual rebellion of pigeon and solana come to an end as they deal with the bitter realities that come with changing a system.

a solid read.
