I was not a fan of the art ( it reminded me of the annoying backsplash art of wytches) and it didn't give you any good information as it barely mentions ethan or the Murray family. the only reason I finished it was because I was hoping it would get better. anyway, a waste of time womp womp.

I’m really enjoying the continuation of the Penny Dreadful story, but i feel as if this was another arc of the TV show that we didn’t get to see on screen. I’m excited to see what happens next

This story has gotten a bit out of hand. The undead are after the unbelievers. The characters we have met and have been following are still trying to find a way to end this nightmarish hell on earth. Only one thing makes sense. That happens at the end of this volume. I am curious enough to know how this mess is resolved, but I'm not expecting much out of the story.

This is the third installment following the Penny Dreadful series finale. A series which I live more than anything because they are 3 "horror" stories that I simply adore. They were avante garde, before their time, stories that simply.made one think of the consequences of their actions and their spirit.

This particular graphic was beautifully drawn and made me stop many times just to admire the picture. However, the pictures themselves were not the most important items in and of themselves. While they blended with the plot very well, the writing (the commentary) was still well within the characters and their personalities.

My only issue with the graphics is how short they are. I would like to have a few more pages in each installment. This issue is one that I have with all comic book style graphics. But it doesn't stop me from enjoying them. I rate this novel 4 out of 5 stars and cannot wait for the next graphic.

Wow, that was... bad. I loved the prequel graphic novel, but not this one. The designs were way better in the prequel, and the story actually made sense. This one makes no sense at all and was very badly written. Especially considering the fact that it is based on one of the most beautifully written tv shows I’ve ever seen. At least I read it!

I'm still mad that the show was cancelled.. The comics don't do the story enough justice in my opinion.
