Brutal, me sigue encantando el uso de la “luz” y el color. Pero es que ademas de visualmente genial, el guión esta siendo redondo. Tengo muchas ganas de ver hacia donde va. ( )

Volume three marks the ending of this current fight. The monsters die but more questions still abound. Saint George sent a team to not help per se, more to take over and annihilate the town so no one can talk about the monsters. Erica slaughter is not going to let that happen. She is going to do the job she came to do in the way she means to do it. And Tommy is going to sacrifice himself so that the rest of the town can live. But just like before this volume leaves more questions than answers. We’ve seen Erica wear a black mask throughout the three volumes, and we know some people wear a white mask. Then we meet the dragon elder, who wears like the jaws of a snake or a dragon, which would make sense as a hinged mask rather than a bandanna. Plus, he talks about the order in the various houses and how they live or die and who won will not let that happen. Plus, I still don’t know what the stuffed animals are about. I want more information so I must move to book four. ( )

We finally get some payoff on the larger story in this volume. The art continues to be horrific and beautiful. I'm excited to see where it goes. ( )

Un troisième tome qui ne cherche pas à sortir des rails déjà bien mis en place dans les précédents : l'histoire est destinée à être close, et si certains éléments sont délibérément laissés en suspens (notamment l'organisation interne de l'Ordre de St-Georges, son mystérieux leader et son origine), le run d'Erica à Archer's Peak trouve une conclusion logique, satisfaisante et naturellement un peu frustrante. D'évidence, l'auteur aime ses personnages et tout naturellement cette relation particulière entre la tueuse et le jeune geek survivant, et la candeur touchante qu'elle engendre éclaire le sombre récit d'une lueur maladroitement apaisante. On ne nous épargne pourtant ni sang, ni larmes, ni violence graphique dans un chapitre tout en accélération.
Les couvertures bonus donnent une idée de ce que pourrait être l'adaptation télévisée pour Netflix, avec une grosse pression sur la future actrice et le futur showrunner, en espérant qu'on n'en fasse pas une série pour ados tiède et assagie comme ce qu'ils ont osé faire de Locke & Key. ( )

The ending to Something is Killing the Children! Wow, what an ending!

Erica Slaughter is one of my new heroes. She's just a badass who does her own thing but for the greater good. I do wish we could have seen the backstory as to how she got the octopus... she mentions what happened but I kind of wish we could have seen the process for it, it might have connected a few more dots.

I'm glad we also got to know more about the Slaughter House she came from more in this volume, and her backstory.

As always, the art was fantastic. Dark but bright at the same time.

Overall I was always excited to read more and continue the story on. ( )
