Read this years ago after the show. Still wishing we had more seasons to watch! ( )

An adequate continuation of the Jericho television series, which was cancelled in 2008 after two seasons. It is not on a par with those seasons, but is a nice, brief insight into how it might have progressed. Unfortunately, the comic book medium is a much more inferior medium in which to present the Jericho story, lacking depth and nuance. This is particularly notable in the clumsy decisions of some of the characters, particularly Dale. And why would Hawkins' daughter join the ASA aid workers in Mississippi, other than to inject a bit of oomph into Hawkins' story arc? A tie-in novel would have been preferable, and not all that difficult to do. However, even this unfortunate choice does not excuse the odd plot-hole. Why, for example, would Texas - knowing what it now knows, and having shot down two of their fighter jets in the Season Two finale - not be alert to a possible military attack from the Allied States? The ASA even call it Operation Reprisal, for Chrissake! Although I loved the TV show, I acknowledge it had its flaws too. I still welcome any continuation of the Jericho story, but this could - nay, should - have been much, much better. ( )

Wish I could have watched season 3 on tv instead of reading it in comics. It really wasn't the same. ( )

Six comic books collected do not make a season. Even if every one of the six were to be about an hour of Jericho's TV run shows.

Perhaps this being misled colors the work. So then to appraise the tale critically we have some problems. First is that some time is passing and is the tale true to where things had been left off from the TV Series.

Having just watched that a second time, and seeing that so many of the writers of this were from that series, the answer is no. The comic does not do justice to what we were watching.

The short 2nd season was set up to provide an end to many questions. That the delivery of the package would force the hand of the evil empire and though not assured, the road to unification under the legitimate government was on its way.

An attack against Texas that they were taken by surprise ends that notion. That a nation that was under the assumption that it could be attacked at any time did not have its defenses ready... There are so many other holes that it leaves us in doubt that the writers really understand how to build a story.

Then when we suspend our disbelief as we did with the many holes they had in the original week, again, we find that the writers don't provide enough for us to see an entire story. Partial subplots as if this too was a shortened season.

Plots that could be described in a few sentences for the entire book rather than for each episode set us up for a partial season again.

In all, you will want this if you like Jericho, but you will feel robbed. Probably even more than when we saw that Jericho was canceled. ( )
