Reviews

[Wolfe Tone · Rating 5 out of 5]

The final chapter (for now) of this most brilliant of comic book series. Full of everything that makes Blueberry the best of the best in its genre. Full of wonderfully vivid characters, grizzly violence, well researched historical background, raw emotion, beautiful dialogue, and an intelligent plot. Blueberry has always been the literary equivalent of Sergio Leone's master-works in the Western genre. And this is one of the best, situated in Tombstone around the fights between the Earp clan and the Clanton-McLaury gang, with the ever threatening presence of Geronimo lurking in the hills. Once again, the Indians are anything but savages, au contraire, Blueberry often sides with them, against his own superiors. And once again 'civilization' is anything but civilized. Wonderfull wonderfull story.

Entistä enemmän häiritsee se, miten siloitelluksi Giraudin taide muuttui vuosien saatossa. Poissa on pöly, lika ja karheus. Sama puuttuu myös tarinasta. Mukana on kaikki tutut juonittelut ja väkivallat, mutta taaskin se viimeinen umph puuttuu.

[Math le maudit · Rating 4 out of 5]

Point final du cycle Tombstone, et aussi de la série ? La fin laisse la porte ouverte à une suite en tout cas.

Les différentes intrigues trouvent en tout cas leurs conclusions, et malgré une fin moins haletante que ce que le reste du cycle laissait espérer, on est quand même content !
