I am writing this review, not just for this single issue comic, which I did enjoy, but for the entire Lumberjanes series. Both of them were heartwarming and beautiful.
A few of the later storylines felt a little aimless and were just a little less satisfying, but they pulled it all back together in the conclusion.
We collected this entire series in individual issues from issue #1 for my kid, and they read it eagerly the entire time. They’ve been reading Lumberjanes for over half their life!
It says A LOT that I also read the entire series. It’s that good!!!

I didn't think that not seeing a "to be continued" would hurt this much. I don't think I ever would've been ready to see this series end. And I know they said there'll still be more (I assume one-off?) stories down the line (I need more about Diane, please!), but this is the end of the monthly issues and therefore the end of an era.
I didn't start reading this series immediately - it took me until mid-2016 to get into it - but man. 4 years of my reading life, come to a close. I will easily admit that I cried. I love this series, and it'll always hold a special place in my heart.

LUMBERJANES END OF SUMMER #1, available Wednesday from BOOM! Studios, brings with it the finale of a beloved series. Still, all good things must come to an end. Even summer camp and all the chaos it contains.
This is a bittersweet moment for any and all fans of the Lumberjanes. The series is officially coming to an end here, with Lumberjanes End of Summer #1. That being said, it is certainly an ending that does the entire series – and the characters – justice.
More than that, it is always better to see a series conclude properly, than to see it canceled with little to no warning. On the bright side, this is a series that can easily be revisited by any fan, as it will always welcome them back.
The fact that the series will someday air on HBO will hopefully help to soothe any feelings of loss that the fans are dealing with. That and the endearing note included at the end of this issue, which may or may not make you tear up (hint: it will).
Lumberjanes End of Summer #1 is a whopping forty-eight pages, getting just a bit more time to wrap everything up with satisfaction. Our campers, their counselors, and all of the mystical friends they’ve made along the way.

Like the eternal Summer of Phineas and Ferb, I never thought The Lumberjanes Summer at camp would end. But, alas, all things eventually do. This issue/volume was more of a drive down memory lane than a story with a plot. It's been fun. It's been weird. There were some studs. There were some duds. Thanks for the ride. Alexa play See You Again.

I'm not crying, it's just raining.
Inside.
There are few things I have enjoyed as much as this series.
Artistically and thematically brilliant, brimming with inclusivity, overarching plots that tied together, enemies and friends and the spaces in between, generations of Lumberjanes taking friendship to the max.
The dinosaurs were a bonus.
I don't know why we had to beware the kitten holy, but I'm glad we beheld it.
4 years of friendship.
2 Greek deities.
1 summer.

This was fun.
Kind of sad to see this era end.
But I'm happy there is more content out there that isn't the main volumes.
