Finally after many years got around to reading the post issue 50 Shade's. I can see why they weren't too well recieved but have to say I really enjoyed the first couple of stories and the last three parter was great. Ok so it lost a little (a lot) in the middle there, but even then had some great ideas. Love the Sinita + Suit relationship!
In some ways those middle issues had too much going on and I suspect I was missing a whole load on meaning and subtext and what not. Its just another of its was Shade and his madness what done it story and frankly it didn't grip me enough to work with it more. Added to that I'm far from Richard Case's biggest fan, just don't get on with his art on the whole meant I drifted in the middle there.
Still much to admire in these final issues and some great stuff in there and a fantastic ending that the series deserved. Good stuff.
Now I finally get to 'Flu', with apologises to Wayne who sent me it a while ago and even though it go elevated up the read pile has only just made it to the top... looking forward to this one...
