The Spectacle series finale was the finest book in the series.
The author had more sophisticated graphics, great color work, and a coherent narrative. The series finale included distinct contributions from each of the series' memorable characters. The narrative itself had a satisfying conclusion, was enjoyable to read, and had some hilarious moments.
In sum, this collection of graphic novels was weird, but in a good way. This author has shown tremendous growth throughout the course of these works, and I can't wait to read more of their work in the future.
*received for free from netgalley for honest review* Have not read any of the other comics form this series but am looking forward to after reading this! comics are very hit or miss for me and i found this one to be pretty interesting !
Volume five was definitely the best instalment in the series and that’s a little sad to say. I wish the entire series had this much action, emotion and character development. Overall, this is a very decent series, but this volume really was a standout.
The colour work was incredible. I loved the sections in ‘hell’, the colour scheme and world design were stunning. I’m a huge fan of pinks, purples and blues as a palette, and it was done beautifully here.
A lot happened in Spectacle volume five, and the pacing was done pretty well. The end seemed a bit rushed with Anna staying behind and fighting her way back (which you don’t see) happening over just a few pages. But honestly, I’m pretty happy with how everything went down.
The cast of characters bonded even further, everyone had clearly identifiable personalities and the ending was satisfactory. The whole thing felt like a fever dream, but in the best way possible. Everything made logical sense and it wasn’t a classic case of deus ex machina, well not completely. It definitely had a sense of that, but I didn’t mind it.
I loved the section after the ending of the story which told you what the characters got up to after everything went down. The closure was satisfying and the little stories were very interesting. It was great to read what they all did into their old ages and I loved that Anna became a crime-fighting vigilante.
If you are looking for a unique graphic novel series with an intriguing story, then I’d definitely recommend Spectacle. It takes a while to get going, but it's a ton of fun and the art style is great.
This book felt like a fever dream… but in a great way!
It was great to see the end of this serious crafted so beautifully, the art was vibrant and made me actually gasp in some scenes.
The accurate historical representations of a certain non-human character really made this for me!!
The story came to a comfortable end and I’m so glad to see Ro using their preferred name for this piece - cannot wait to see their further works.
This really was a spectacle!!!
This was by far the best and most emotional book in the series. I had been praying for a happy ending for the characters, and I’m delighted to say that it delivered.
The final volume in the Spectacle series was the best yet!
The author's illustrations were more refined, their color work was stunning, and the storytelling flowed together seamlessly. Each character's personality was identifiable and brought something different to this series' conclusion. The story itself wrapped up nicely, was rewarding to read, and included great humor.
All together this was an odd but very unique graphic novel collection. I'm excited to see what this author will create in the future since they vastly improved throughout these publications!
