"Great. You have a toy sword and some music. I guess we're ready for battle now!"

Wow! This was definetely a wild mini series!

Such an amazing finale to a very enjoyable series. The writing wasn't amazing, but the art of Ilias Kyriazis was fabulous. I've been a fan of him for many years and I believe that he is one of the most talented artists in the whole industry.

Hm... for me, this would’ve been more enjoyable if the characters had been more fleshed out. I like the story, but it seemed a bit fast. I didn’t get much of a sense of Liam’s anxiety except in how different text boxes were used to indicate it so I wasn’t as impressed that Liam conquered it for the “final battle” as I’d have liked to be. But the art was a lot of fun. The characters were a lot of fun. The story was also a lot of fun too, I just think maybe it should’ve had more issues.

i’m kind of sad this is over.

this series was such a weird little thing, but i think that’s exactly why i liked it. it never felt like it was trying to be the biggest or coolest superhero story, it just wanted to tell this really strange story about a person trying to understand themselves.

the ending worked for me. not perfect, but it felt like the right place to leave it.

very glad i picked this one up.

Το τέλος μου φάνηκε λίγο βεβιασμένο σε σχέση με το πώς κυλούσε η ιστορία στα προηγούμενα τεύχη... Επίσης περίμενα λίγο πιο εντυπωσιακή, από άποψη δράσης, την τελική μάχη του Liam με τον πατέρα του. Βέβαια το να νικήσεις τους εσωτερικούς σου δαίμονες είναι εξίσου σημαντικό με το να νικήσεις τους εξωτερικούς κινδύνους, οπότε υπό αυτό το πρίσμα θα μπορούσε να πει κανείς ότι το τέλος είναι ποιητικό.

Good run for a rookie writer, but has pacing problems.
Spoilers below:
The final showdown takes a single page and the world is saved on the next. Like the premise and world-building, but not the best ending.

I want to read this as a graphic novel. The odd shifts and pacing probably show Liam's anxiety much better than in small spurts. But still, a good series.

I love this series so much!! I'd love to see little like mini adventures of Liam and the gang too though I know that probably won't happen.
