Thanks to Image Comics for the review copy!
If you’re anything like me, you’ve been waiting for a new series to sink your teeth into, and let me tell you, This Ends Tonight is it! This new miniseries, hitting shelves this July, is an absolute bloodbath of revenge, all set under the neon glow of a sin-soaked city. Think less “what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas” and more “what happens in Vegas, gets painted on the walls in crimson!”
Jae Lee’s Art: A Masterclass in Unconventional Storytelling
Now, let’s talk about the real star for us art fanatics: Jae Lee! If you’re familiar with his past work on titles like Hellshock or his incredible run on The Sentry, you know he’s not one to play by the rules when it comes to paneling. And in This Ends Tonight, he takes that non-traditional approach and cranks it up to eleven! Forget your standard grid layouts; Lee’s art here is a masterclass in dynamic, almost cinematic, storytelling. He uses negative space and fragmented panels to build tension and control the pacing in a way that just pulls you right into the chaos. You’ll find yourself lingering on pages, not just for the visceral action, but to appreciate how he’s deconstructed the typical comic book page to deliver something truly unique. It’s not just pretty pictures; it’s art that actively guides your eye and enhances the narrative.
A Rollercoaster Ride of Revenge
The first issue throws you right into the thick of it with a pair of sisters who are basically a whirlwind of destruction, fighting off assassins while trying to uncover a shocking family secret. It’s got that intense, high-octane feel, reminiscent of those gritty, action-packed thrillers where the stakes are always impossibly high. And get this: the next two issues are all interconnected, taking place on the very same night, each one a new thread in this twisted tapestry of vengeance. The team of Gerry Duggan, Kelvin Mao, and Robert Windom have clearly cooked up something special here, swapping writing duties to keep things fresh and unpredictable.
This isn’t just another comic; it’s a pulse-pounding event that’s going to leave you breathless. So, mark your calendars for July 16th, because This Ends Tonight is coming for your jugular, and you won’t want to miss a single drop!
This Ends Tonight #1 will be released on July 16th.
