Gosh, this story is wild and the art is stunning! In this volume, Norton/Danny and Clara are trapped in one Gideon Falls, pursued by the evil “smiling man” that is like some time-traveling body-swapping parasite? This evil dude wants Danny.

In another Gideon Falls, (Father) Fred and (doctor) Angie debate with the Bishop about "The Pentoculus Machine" - which is some sort of time travel device. And in another plotline, we see that a vigilante group called The Ploughman is going after the smiling evil man, to finally end it all.

There is a lot happening here. Hoping the threads will all be tied together in the next few volumes. ( )

Series Info/Source: This is the fourth volume in the Gideon Falls graphic novel series; there are 6 volumes in this series. I bought a copy of this book.

Thoughts: This is the volume where the craziness starts to come together. True evil is visited upon the small town Gideon Falls where Norton and Clara are trapped. The Ploughman group is forced into action to stop the developing evil.

Meanwhile, Father Fred and Angie finally come face to face with the Bishop and learn about the Pentoculus. The two are sent on a mind boggling journey to the center where they must try to stop the evil once and for all. The graphic novel alternates back and forth between these two different storylines.

I continue to really like the way this series is laid out panel-wise and really enjoy how the story is coming together. I am super excited to see how things roll out in the last two volumes. I will say that this volume was just a bit slower than previous ones and the panel layouts weren’t quite as unique and interesting.

My Summary (4/5): Overall this was another very good installment in the Gideon Falls series. I love how the story is coming together. However, I do feel like this volume moved a bit slower than previous ones and thought that the panel layout wasn’t as creative. I am still very eager to see how things continue in volumes 5 and 6.

More like "The Redonkulus" amirite? I did not like this installment that much. Feels somewhat pointless and unfocused. ( )
