Omnibus Sale April 2017:

I did indeed but all the Omnibus' listed in Mr. Moore's Half Off-Omnibus Sale, so I will be updating my ownership and reviews for all of these, but especially delightful is that getting the Omnibus for Rachel Rising encouraged me to finally finish the series.

I deeply love Terry Moore's art at all times and the witty way he knows how to bandy with the English language, whether harrowing love story or deep and spooky tale, the latter of which is Rachel Rising (and the prior of which is his award-winning Strangers in Paradise, which owned half my life). I loved seeing all the ways these characters went, and how they made an even stronger family unit handling all the odd things that were happening.

I love that the characters you considered most evil took twists and turns that changed, evolved, and even more integrated them into the tale being told. I was delighted with the aesthetic way the pages blur while holding it in your hand, all black edges, adding to the whole feeling of the story and the book as you were holding, it reading, being aware of the edges. ( )

I have only a single complaint about this collection.

I thought it was the last one. There's one more.

So, while I was completely bummed not to finish up the series, I now have one more volume of Terry Moore's art and story to read.

This guy just keeps getting better. ( )

Lots and lots of revelations in this volume! Like who killed Rachel, and (maybe, sort of), why she didn't really die, and who she is. Is this maybe building to a conclusion? Lot of mysteries still to go, though. Like why Jet is half-dead, or whatever she is, how they're going to get ahead of Malus, and why Rachel was killed.

Still really enjoying this series. ( )
