This was the 3rd and final volume of the graphic novel adaptation of Neil Gaiman's American Gods.

Thus, this volume was about what happens after Wednesday has been killed and Shadow is forced to leave Lakeside. I shall not give too much away about the story, just in case somebody here doesn't know it yet, but suffice it to say that the conflict finally erupts and the different factions are all converging for the final confrontation.

The art was everything from "normal" to utterly gorgeous with my two favourite pieces being one of the covers as well as the tree Shadow was hung from (not much of a spoiler):

GR is refusing to show the second one so here is the link to it, sorry: https://i.ibb.co/VwLgNrb/IMG-0501.png

As with the TV show, there were a few changes to the original story, but they were minor compared to the ones on the show. Otherwise, this is the story we know from the novel and no, I don't think that's bad.
It's an alternative delivery method for people not in the mood for the book and a very nice additional visual interpretation to give to fans.

I'm very glad I read this story in all its different formats as every one of them brings something different to the mix. It's one of the great feats of Gaiman's stories that they are so versatile, they can be translated into anything.

So this is the end, which is - as we all know - just another beginning.

Al final toda la serie resulta muy apegada al libro, y por lo tanto resulta tan satisfactoria como este. El arte pudo haber sido mejor, pero no cabe duda que se agradece que por lo menos no fuese simple.
