So this is the end of Paklis, let's take this review to look back on the whole series.
As far as I know Weaver never followed up this series (which he did plan to do), and it's a shame, because it's in this last issue that he begins a particularly interesting new series, 1949, which ends on a cliffhanger.
Not a huge fan of the two sci-fi stories that have taken up most of the series up til now. The art and design are fantastic, but the stories themselves are confusing and plodding. I found them a bit of a slog to work through.
There are a couple of one-offs, which I did enjoy in their sense of experimentation and generally weirdness.

The last issue before Weaver's Paklis went on hiatus. Though originally intended to simply be a one year hiatus, Weaver's next issue of Paklis would take nearly six years to come out. Nonetheless, there are some pretty good stories in issue #5.
The best is the newly introduced "1949" story, which takes on a heavy noir tone. Weaver implements greyscales and zips really well, and the story is great hook for subsequent chapter.
The fifth chapter of "Amnia Cycle" also was pretty good, though I find myself gravitating towards the grandiose artwork as opposed to the actual story.
I continue to not really enjoy the "Sagitarius A" story, but it always takes a pretty limited page count in these hefty single issues. Having 2/3 great stories in a one-man anthology is still a winning clip in my mind.
