![]() Regardless, it is an incredibly fitting end to the series. This is the final issue of the storyline that graham started long ago in Tokyopop's first volume of "King City." It's unclear when he will return to it - it's certainly an open ended finish - but his new Oni Press series, "Multiple Warheads," will be starting up soon. We may never see "King City" collected at this size (Tokyopop was gracious enough to allow Graham to publish the rest of "King City" with Image as individual issues, but it's unclear what the future of the book is in terms of collected editions) and Graham's art certainly benefits from it. There's also something to be said for reading his comics in this oversized format, as the book has been published in Image's lovely tabloid format (as seen in "Viking"). ![]() That being said, even a new Brandon Graham cover tends to have enough content in its detail to make any purchase of a single issue worth the price. This makes it a fantastic read in collections, but as a standalone comic, it sometimes feels a bit slight as far as the narrative goes. Its pace is not unlike its protagonist: always in favor of eschewing a focus on broad action in favor of languorously resting on character moments and more intimate detail. ![]() ![]() The comic doesn't necessarily lend itself that well to this kind of serialization. ![]()
