Kirkman begins a new story, jumping three years in time. Most of the book is setting the new status quo before the book delves into setting up the new antagonists, the Faceless Men. This book would be a lot better with a more capable artist than "Italian superstar" Lorenzo de Felici. His alien creatures are cool but the landscapes are so busy I often can't tell what is happening on the page. That combined with the fact that all his humans look like they are old and in pain makes for a fugly looking book. Still the story is intriguing enough that I'll follow along as long as my library keeps buying the trades.

Oblivion Song is really starting to pick up steam in this third volume. Much less "Nathan vs. Big Bad Goverment," more "Nathan and Ed vs. Alien Faceless Men." Sure, that's a radical change from the prior two volumes, but it means more action, new mysteries, and more time spent in Oblivion. I'm on board with that.
I'm also on board with a volume that doesn't end in a startling twist on the final page. Maybe that'll help me get into the fourth volume without feeling confused and lost for the first 50 pages. Also pleasing: Lorenzo de Felici's art and Annalissa Leoni's coloring. Oblivion Song finally looks good, even if the landscapes and aliens in Oblivion are a strange mix of ropey mush and tardigrades.

Yet more tales of people who always behave selfishly, and then later mistake feeling guilty for having a personality. I can only imagine how exhausting these characters would be to be around, Jesus Christ.

Man these always open up so slow and then end with a bang. This wasn’t as giant a delivery as last time but this still is enough to keep me coming back for more.

It seemed like they'd mined everything there was from this story in the first volume, but I guess there's still more story to be had. The artwork seems to be devolving as it goes, particularly peoples' faces, though it isn't always clear what's happening in some of the action sequences, either. I guess I'll come back for the next one.

Picking up several years after the first two volumes, the story is surprisingly muted. In contrast to the previous volumes' scientific exploration of the transference, this volume takes it as granted and instead focuses on those living on the other side, and Nathan's return to society (and the other world). The relationship between Nathan and Ed seems a bit different now, as their lives have gone in very different directions. The value of the other world has grown, but that's set to chaos as a mysterious Faceless group appears and starts interfering with the humans. This volume is setting the tone and story for the next volumes; there are a couple impressive action sequences, but things definitely feel like they're ramping up. The art is still distinctive, chaotic for the other world but in a manner that doesn't distract from the story, and perfectly serviceable for our world's sections.
I'll admit I was surprised to see this third volume - I thought the series was done at the end of the second. Continuing on could have been pointless, but Kirkman found a good way to mine more out of the story, and I'm interested in sticking around for more.

Oblivion Song could have ended with the previous volume, to be honest. In fact, reading this one, it kind of did. We jump forward three years for the beginning of a new story arc, one that puts the Cole brothers back on a collision course as the mystery of the Faceless Men swirls around them both, even if they're worlds away.
It's fun to see how much has changed in the three years, although a lot of the characters get shortchanged outside of Nathan and Ed, so we don't see a lot of it. Instead it's very much all hands on deck with the Faceless Men, who I will admit intrigue me, even if they do look like monstrous Q-Tip people.
De Felici's art is still a bit of an enigma to me. His monsters and the world of Oblivion look fantastically creepy, but his humans can sometimes feel a bit...melty? Like their faces aren't quite attached to their skulls. It's a weird effect, although it's not that often.
Oblivion Song's moving in a new direction, but I'm keeping my hands and feet inside the ride...for now.

So, finally finished Oblivion Song. I went through all six books today and I must admit, I loved it even more than I did in first reading. It’s not just beautifully illustrated monsters and amazing world, it’s beautiful story about two brothers and couple more people dealing with problems in their lives. It’s full of love, sadness. It’s interesting, characters’ development is nicely done. I can’t find any negatives really. For me this will always be one of my most favorite series I’ve ever read. (This volume was sometimes weirdly drawn, especially faces:D)

Sin duda, la saga Oblivion Song sigue cautivándome y sorprendiéndome. A pesar de que este volumen es el más flojo hasta ahora, es innegable que sabe enganchar.
Oblivion Song nº 01 fue una sorpresa porque logró que, tras un principio poco prometedor, los personajes y el mundo de Oblivion acabaran despertando bastante mi interés. Oblivion Song, volumen 2 fue brutal porque estuvo cargado de acción y supo jugar muy bien con los protagonistas para que acabáramos entendiendo a todos los bandos. Ahora esta 3º parte ha querido ampliar el mundo de Oblivion y hacer que toque enfrentarse a problemas inesperados.
¿Qué es lo que ha fallado para no darle la máxima puntuación? Pues que se ha notado demasiado que es un volumen de tránsito porque no pasa nada realmente extraordinario, es como si lo más impactante se estuviera reservando para los siguientes partes. Engancha, pero deja una sensación agridulce porque simplemente se asientan las bases de una trama que dará mucho de sí más adelante.
A partir de aquí la reseña contendrá spoilers de los volúmenes 1 y 2
Debo decir que las primeras páginas fueron las más confusas porque se veía una especie persecución dentro de Oblivion con unos personajes desconocidos. Yo sabía que Nathan no podía ser porque en teoría acabó en prisión en el volumen anterior, y Ed y los que vivían allí no solían usar esa vestimenta. Luego ya se aclara que han pasado 3 años desde los últimos sucesos y que ahora se están haciendo misiones a Oblivion para aprovechar sus recursos. Poco a poco conseguí situarme y ya luego fui incapaz de parar de pasar las páginas porque necesitaba saber qué iba a ocurrir.
Creo que se podría haber explicado mejor qué pasó durante esos 3 años que no hemos visto, más que nada porque las vidas de todos los personajes han cambiado bastante y apenas se profundiza en eso. En todo caso, se nota que Nathan y Ed siguen siendo los pilares de esta historia y la entrada en escena de cada uno eleva el interés rápidamente y hace que nos centremos rápidamente en el presente. Ed sigue considerando Oblivion su verdadero hogar y ha formado allí una familia. Nathan ha estado en prisión y ahora ha sido liberado, pero la libertad no ha sido tan gratificante como él esperaba. Me gustó muchísimo este giro en los acontecimientos, ya que Nathan siempre defendió que no era posible estar tan apegado a Oblivion como para querer estar allí y, sin embargo, es como si ese lugar le llamara y él necesitara volver.
Lo que Nathan no sabe es que los habitantes de Oblivion están siendo atacados y capturados por nuevas criaturas: los hombres sin rostro. Esta nueva amenaza me pareció interesante, especialmente porque no se sabe qué objetivo tienen y no son simples monstruitos en busca de sangre. Es como si tuvieran un propósito que no está nada claro. Su presencia tiene un papel introductorio, pero al menos logra captar la atención.
Más allá de ir mostrando hechos que posiblemente desencadenarán una guerra o una lucha frenética por la supervivencia, no pasa mucho más. El lado emocional está más contenido que en las partes anteriores, pero sigue percibiéndose bien la conexión entre algunos personajes.
En cuanto al lado artístico, el estilo continúa siendo el de los libros anteriores, pero aquí se abusa más de la exageración en las expresiones faciales. No importa si la escena en cuestión es calmada y la conversación es tranquila, los personajes casi siempre tienen cara de espanto o de rabia, lo que resulta chocante y antinatural. Además, en las escenas de lucha da la impresión de que el ilustrador quiere abarcar demasiado y eso estropea el resultado final. Mete tantos elementos en cada dibujo que éstos incluso parecen fusionarse y no se distinguen del todo bien. Desde mi punto de vista, quiso que la historia adquiriera un tono un poquito más oscuro a través de las ilustraciones y se olvidó de que en esta saga no todo es tragedia y horror.
La puntuación real sería un 3,5/5, pero le doy un 4/5 y no un 3/5 porque, incluso teniendo en cuenta los pequeños defectos que he visto, tanto a nivel argumental como ilustrativo, no puedo negar que estoy enamorada de esta saga y que mi interés por el mundo de Oblivion y por los personajes no ha disminuido. Este 3º volumen no es horrible, de hecho, creo que es bastante bueno, pero no alcanza el nivel de perfección que podría haber tenido.

This feels like the kickoff for Season Two, as characters are reintroduced after a three-year time jump.
Unfortunately, the big villains of the new arc are underwhelming and repetition kicks in as the two brothers come at the same problem from different sides in pretty much the same way.
This all feels like set-up and forced misunderstandings, treading water before some reveal or twist that will have to be pretty big to get the momentum going again.
FOR RERERENCE:
Contains material originally published in single magazine form as Oblivion Song #13-18.

Book two of the Oblivion Song had pretty much wrapped the story up, but Kirkman wasn’t just going to let it be, not him, not the man who has once proclaimed Walking Dead as the story that would never end. Which it did. And now the show’s ending too. And there will probably be Daryl withdrawals to follow.
But anyway, back to this book, back to Oblivion. A few years passed and much has changed. There’s still a giant extradimensional area of wild megafauna where once a sh*tty city used to be, but people are coming to accept it now.
Nathan and his ladylove have been jailed for their role in events of book two, but now there are back on the streets, in fact, Nathan can’t wait to hit the streets on both side of the divide and visit his Oblivion happy bro.
But something’s been brewing in the already unquiet Oblivion territories, something menacing, something intelligent, something very, very dangerous. What is it? Read and find out. It’s fun, it really is.
When you don’t think about how derivative the entire thing is of VanderMeer’s Area X, when you don’t think about the weird faces of the characters, it’s just fun. It doesn’t have to be great to entertain. Not in this form, anyway. Not when the books go by so quickly.
And so, yes, I’d absolutely read more volumes, should our library kindly acquire them. It’s no Walking Dead, it just doesn’t have the same terrific characters, but then again Walking Dead isn’t Walking Dead either, the show’s best and most constant character (Daryl) isn’t even in the books. Judged on its own merit The Oblivion Song is appealing enough for a pop tune.

Reread this years later and came away with the exact same impression. Go consistency! Though it stands to mention that this one was by far the least memorable volume out of the first three.

Unlike Kirkman’s other series, Outcast, Oblivion Song is getting better with each book. Still not a fan of the art but other than that, this series is really good.

The idea for this story has become less novel, and this volume dragged a bit, until the end when, for me, a big reveal sparked interest for the next volume.
June 14, 2021
Robert Kirkman is a fine writer. But titles like Oblivion Song are a real disappointment, because it just feels like it needed more time to marinate before it was ready. But why wait, when you’re churning out as many comics as possible in the hopes somebody might develop them for the screen and give them the depth and polish they lack on the page? I can’t begrudge Kirkman for using Skybound to develop so many screen properties. More power to him. But when his comics become little more than fancy studio pitches instead art to succeed on its original merits, there’s just not a lot to love here. Bad comics are sad. But halfhearted comics made by a genius are a real shame.

This third volume jumps in time..
And introduces some enemies in Oblivion.
I like the idea of a transplanted area in a strange wilderness threatening situation...and of course it's been done before.
I also like the idea..shown in the first two volumes that some of those transplanted have no desire to come back..and are happy settling in their new society.
In fact it's pointed out that these people shouldn't go round slaughtering the native creatures..
That seems to have been lost in this Volume...and probably would have sent the book off in a different direction

Kirkman konečně dupnul na plyn a začíná to stát za to.
Radujme se, veselme se, konečně se začínají odhalovat důležité části příběhu a spolu s tím tu máme tolik akce, že to až vypadá jakoby Kirkman doháněl resty.
Děj se tu posunul o něco dopředu, problémy naší reality se pomalu přesouvají do pozadí a nový svět dostává čím dál víc prostoru. A spolu s ním se konečně začíná ukazovat, že hlavní hrdinové si rozhodně ukousli víc než si původně mysleli.
Sice jsem si stihl odvyknout na art a návrat k němu byl zase lehce bolestivý, ale už zase se těším na další book. Tohle bude ještě legrace.

Very engaging and compelling. I'm really enjoying the world-building. Looking forward to reading the next Volume!

I love closing a book with a satisfied sigh, whispering “So good.”
The whole series is such a great concept and well executed. I generally enjoy the artwork too, some really interesting action shots. This volume takes leaps in the way of plot. Three years into the future, to be exact. I’m really excited to see where this plot line is headed. Because really, with sci-fi this out there, there are no limits. Must be a blast to write!

I found it strange that Kirkman had such a significant time jump so early in the story. From having read the Walking Dead over all these years I expected the story to be a little more drawn out. While I'm enjoying it I can't really imagine it lasting more then 20 or so more issues.

The saga of brother Nathan and Ed and their ties to the mysterious Oblivion continue here. Highlights:
- Nathan is cleared of charges after spending a year in jail for his role in the accident that brought Oblivion and our world together. He still feels remorse, but his knowledge and skills are needed to communicate with those still over there.
- In Oblivion, Ed and his crew are helping the people that now live in Oblivion. Working to create a society, they are doing well. BUT... a scouting team has gone missing. A new enemy, The Faceless Men, who are Oblivion creatures taking on more humanoid features and learning to speak English, are capturing the humans and taking them to their base of operations.
- Ed goes to rescue his people, and Nathan breaks the law and his probation to go to Oblivion, both actions which result in many people being abducted by the Faceless Men and both brothers back in our world, Nathan injured and in the hospital.
- The Faceless Men have a human ally in Keith, the guy who Nathan exiled from the camp back in Volume 1. He is beginning to regret his choice to help them, but it keeps his family safe.
Kirkman is creating a long running comic here, and I really enjoy it. I wish Volumes would come out quicker, but with publishing resuming after a long COVID break, hopefully this will get better.
Strong recommend. Start at the beginning of course, but this is good even if you don't like the Walking Dead (which I do, but just saying).

I feel like this book is finally starting to pay off. The writing feels more concise and that’s really helped the pacing. It also helps that this volume starts to answer some questions set previously. The art for the series is still hit or miss with me but issues 16 and 18 have some pretty stunning panels. 4 out of 5.
October 5, 2019
Found it the weakest of the 3 volumes So far
March 21, 2020
Not bad but not great. I'm really only still reading at this point cause I already started. The art isn't good and the panels are hard to follow. 3 stars.
