Isaac is coming for Eden and he has a rogue FBI agent who craves justice in tow. Hill does a great job of keeping you guessing what will happen and I didn't, at all, see the end coming. Hopefully, the justifications for it get explained in the next issue. This excellent series continues to be excellent.

Wow, I honestly have to admit I did not see that coming. I figured we'd get a slow build-up to Isaac's war on Eden, which would largely play out in the next arc/volume. But, no. What had been a serviceable, though hardly surprising story up to this point suddenly played a plot card that I couldn't have anticipated and I'm impressed. The artwork continues to be something of a weak point, but otherwise, this is recommended.

I'm finally getting back to this series to finish it (though I did hear they are recently continuing it.)
So Mark is trying to decide if he wants to stay in town and protect it with his mother or go on the run with his lover. At the same time his father is coming and he has a secret weapon, a FBI agent who has gone rogue. Soon they will arrive and Mark's mother decides to make a finally stand. This is when everything will come to a head.
This is pretty solid. A nice twist at the end which might piss some people off. I also enjoy Mark's motivation to move on. The series shows a dark turn at the end. I did think it moved a bit too fast at points though. Still a 4 out of 5.

Satisfying end to Volume 6 but did Eden survive?

As a loyal fan to the series, I’m quite disappointed with how things took an occult turn. Furthermore, there were no clues at all in previous books hinting toward this. Still, it was a fun ride. Oh, before I forget… Was that Danny Trejo?

Isaac and Bremble on one side and Laura on the other are readying for a final showdown to see the outcome of Eden. Whil it's not as spectacular as the build-up suggests, it fits into the way things work in this twisted town. Wars aren't fought with guns alone. A good ruse works just as well.
Bremble gets Jon Schultz to reveal his involvement in Eden. Jon is killed by Laura after he refuses to reveal Isaac's location. Mark wants to run away from Eden together with Maggie, but she wants to stay and join Laura. Now they need to get as many allies on board as possible.

The final showdown we've been anticipating since volume 1 arrives, and it's...abrupt and anti-climactic. Mark's lengthy character development as a master observer and strategist, who has harnessed the unique advantages of his autism, is left irrelevant. A six-volume story arc ends with a [wet fart noise]. It's not awful but it is disappointing.

This was okay. I did not expect the ending. I'm not sure where the story is going now, but I'll keep reading to finish the series.

I wish the final confrontation between Laura, Mark and Isaac had been more drawn out. As things stand, it feels a bit jarring and abrupt to read. After so much build-up, I expected (and wanted) so much more.

The series continues in fine form and at a quick pace. Mayor Shiffron and Mark catch Isaac.

Actually 3.5 stars but I'm rounding up because I still devoured this like nobody's business.
Okay hi what the fuck I have so many questions.
Seriously. So many. Well, one big one mostly, but a few smaller ones in there too.
Alright, well first of all this was just yet another emotional roller coaster from start to finish. Some character/relationship highlights:
1.) Mark and Maggie can just have my heart to do whatever the heck they want to do with it (but really it would've been nice if they'd have asked to take it instead of tearing it right out of my chest).
2.) Laura is still an enormous an unapologetic bitch who I'd like to go at with a cheese grater, not that I'm even the least bit surprised. What the actual hell does Magnum see in her again? Because he seems like a pretty stand-up dude compared to the rest of Eden's inhabitants. Baffling. Truly baffling, I say.
3.) The writers/artist did an excellent job of showing how torn Maggie was in this volume. It was just so obvious that she didn't know what she wanted from others around her or even herself. She listened to her values and was always loyal to Mark though, and I massively respect that. She continues to be the almost "moral compass" of the series, even though she's not squeaky either, obviously. But she has strong ethics and she stands by them, protect who deserves it, and doesn't bullshit people about what she thinks. Rare qualities in Eden.
4.) Mark... Buddy, I just want to give you a hug. In a normal situation I'd be instructing this guy to run -not walk - to the nearest facility where he could get a counselor and discuss his Father, but... Yeah. Not gonna happen. It's like his brain just can't process what happened or what he's supposed to do now and it's painful to watch. Still a genius, but damn. Wouldn't want to be stuck in his brain.
5.) Seriously, Laura can just drink a bag of long-expired milk. What a back-stabbing, self-serving excuse for a human being.
Alrighties, now onto the confusion! This is just gonna be one fat spoiler, but it's the 6th volume, so if you're reading this, I assume you've gotten this deep into the series and know better than to read a review of a volume you haven't hit yet.
So. I don't know if I'm just fucking stupid here, but how did Laura get to Bremble to turn him?!? I don't get it at. All. When did that happen?! Just in the heat of the moment they forged a silent agreement?! And somehow Bremble just magically dismissed his entire enormous self-sustaining mission to destroy Eden and all the people who didn't deserve to live?! It makes no sense. I get that Ava was slowly bringing him around to realize that he also wasn't as wondrous and pure as he might've thought, but that's a huge leap to go from despising and wanting to destroy a group of people and joining them. I call bullshit. The only other possibility I can think of is that Bremble was lying the entire time about his intentions toward Eden, but even then I think that's a goddamned stupid way to go about it. If he wanted in so badly, he very well could've just blackmailed the FBI guy to get him in. If that is the case, he went the long way around to a solution and that's just generally stupid.
Other little questions/concerns: Issac had way more followers than were shown. Where were the rest of them in the big showdown? Also, if an FBI big-wig went "missing", there'd be an enormous search and examination into his recent cases, arguably creating an even bigger chance that Eden could be discovered. Another thing is that I find it exceptionally hard to believe that Laura didn't kill Issac. Saying it was because he's Mark's Father is just ridiculous. She has pretty much zero morals and if she's so concerned with "beating" him, the surefire way of doing that is to kill him. She's clearly not scared of blood. And the last thing is just that I think Laura potentially starting something with Maggie by not letting Mark "free" is overall poor decision making on her part. It was proven in this volume that people in the town are more loyal to her than Laura, so crossing her? Not smart.
Overall, this was still super compelling and wonderfully bloody with no shortage of violence and fucked up things in general, but I think it could've done well to make it a few issue longer. It felt a bit rushed and the show-down was more of a blink or you'll miss it event, which seemed odd. Still adore this series, though. Onto the final volume...

War comes to Eden – and they're ready for it. Exciting plot
This volume deals with ex-agent Bremble and Isaac coming to Eden to deal with the inhabitants. It's about preparation, conflicting personalities and desired outcomes. There are twists that are unexpected and a fair amount of bloodshed, sex and violence.
I enjoy this series and, like many others, I hope that the creators know when to stop. There is another volume and it might be the last but the series is well worth investigating. Good writing and artwork make it worth the bother.

THIS STORY LINE HAD A TWIST THAT I DID NOT SEE COMING. MAGGIE / LAURA THEY ARE WOMEN WHO ROCK AND RULE. MARK IS IN GOOD HANDS WITH BOTH AND HE IS THE ONE WHO KNOWS HOW TO PUT THE PIECES IN PLACE.

The whole battle with isaac was over in two seconds. Alot of buildup for a crappy battle. Love this comic but the story in this one was not up to par and i was left feeling like it should have gone down differently. Definitely still worth reading but this issue not as good as the previous ones.

Decepcionante como acabó toda la situación con Isaac. Ni siquiera quedó claro por qué el ex-FBI lo traicionó.

Easy read over my commute to office. The series is cranking up intensity while moving towards conclusion.

I feel like that was over way too quick.
June 27, 2018
I couldn't believe this was the ending! It ended so anticlimactically and I was expecting way more from the characters. Or at least some sort of resolution other than what was given, which I will say was some sort of ending but not what it felt like the series was building up to.
Thank goodness the owner of my favorite comic shop led me to the spinoff series, Eden's Fall. I'm thinking that might be why Postal was wrapped up the way it was.
One of my top 5 favorite series still. Sad to see it over :(
