Maw #5
Diana, the ethereal, larger-than-life feminist commune leader, prepares Marion to become the vessel for all of the rage and suffering of the commune -- and of women everywhere. Marion and the other women on the commune take their revenge on Chuck and Howie as scapegoats for the sins of mankind. But will their brutal justice resolve the seemingly endless cycle of violence, or will it continue until it devours the entire island -- and perhaps even the entire world?

A good story, but an abrupt ending.

I honestly didn’t care for this issue which is unfortunate. I feel like the story was pretty strong and had a good message overall but ended oddly.
‼️‼️‼️
Trigger warning
This is a story about sexual assault and how women are treated for coming forward, how no one ever believes them or thinks it’s their fault. How men get away with pretty much everything, it’s a heavy story that’s done very well. I really liked this comic as a whole, but the ending could’ve been better explained.

I know what the cold sore is now, so that's cool I guess.
Ups and downs with this comic. I enjoyed that it was about women empowerment, revenge on men etc. Some parts were better executed than others. It held my interest enough to read the first 5 issues in one sitting, though tbh I'm not really sure where it's going to go from here, or if I'm invested enough to wait and find out.

What a dark and twisted story full of so much unfairness.

Doyle’s 5-book comic explores what justice can look like when the world has been so horribly misogynistic. And such answers can only be ugly and magnificent at the same time. What a read, but if you know Doyle’s work, you know that you’ll always be impressed.
