This was a pretty satisfying ending to a tv series where we were left hanging. I started reading The Middleman after meeting Javi at Dragon*Con quite a few years ago. He was there to talk about his (then) new show, Lost. He was incredibly awesome. He was willing to talk to the fans any time and anywhere and loved to geek out about his favorite stuff as much as the next person. He even did four extra talks that weren't scheduled because the fans felt that the track in charge of Lost didn't do it justice. From then on, I was a fan. I'll try anything he does. So, when I heard he had a comic coming out, I had to get it. I'm not a huge comic fan, but I do read them from time to time (Courtney Crumrin, Buffy Season 8, The Watchman, and V for Vendetta, mainly). I liked them a lot. I was really excited when, in 2008, this series came on ABC Family. The series was even better than the comic IMHO and with Javi at the helm, all the great writing and wit were still there. Unfortunately, people were still unsure what kind of station ABC Family was supposed to be and this was a summer show and it wasn't watched and was canceled after 12 episodes. To tie things up, Javi, with a different illustrater Zanker, did The Doomsday Armageddon Apocalypse as a completion to the series. It tied up a lot of things, but ultimate fans will be disappointed that every tiny detail wasn't answered. Because fans are like that. :)

A nice graphic novel-ized season/series finale, but the show's budget CLEARLY wouldn't have been able to handle the epicness.

This is a great "series finale" for fans of the show. The continuity is spot in with events picking up where they left off and most loose ends being tied up.

I just finished a rewatch of the TV series, so what better way to finish it off than reading the comic of what would have been the season finale? I did watch a Comic Con (or something) panel of the actors all reading the script once years ago, but had mostly forgotten what happened, and anyway, it was nice to see it actually illustrated not just read. I really loved this show and this was a great finale for it. It's a shame neither the show nor the comics continued. (I know there was one more comic after this, a crossover between the comic universe and TV universe, but that doesn't really count.)
