Why I Bought It
This issue was said to be the conclusion of the first arc of the series. This would be the make it or break it issue for me.

What I Liked
There has been consistency throughout this series. With time jumping forward to move the story, the art maintaining the same feel throughout the series, and just the general feel of the book has been maintained all throughout.

What I Didn't Like
UGH.

This has just been a book of highs and lows for me. This is such a cool concept and can be taken to so many places. When I look at what it has done, I just shrug. I haven't liked the art. The story takes some weird jumps. It remained consistent with being just weird.

The characters just blended together for me. They really did. I didn't care too much about any of them. And from the looks that we only scratched the surface of Peter's story, I just feel frustrated that more wasn't done.

Let me put it this way: if you take the characters by themselves and don't know anything about the mythos of Peter Pan, can this book work for you? In parts, yes. In many other ways, no. Just when it looks like something may get off the ground, it just stops.

Maybe reading this all together will work better, but for now I'm just leaving it alone in my long boxes to collect dust for now.

Panel to Remember
The Eiffel Tower. Was that supposed to be impressive? If the artist was more realistic and had a photo like quality to his art then I would have gone for it taking an entire page. With this style, it just wasn't my cup of tea and looked like it was space filler.

Quotable
"Time to go."
