Issue #9: Sacrament>After Henri is attacked, Detective Autry zeroes in on her prime suspects, while Dead Jessica's words send Addison looking for information at Mercy Hospital from IrisThis is a exposition/lore dump issue
>>156128108I forgot to mention that this variant cover was by Ben Greene, my bad
Here comes the exposition/lore dump, so better pay attention to what Iris says since in these last issues the lore is important for character motivations.
End of issue #9
Issue #10: Last Supper>While the D.A. takes matters into his own hands, Mark tries to reconnect with Addison, but with Trent on the move, it may be too late, as Fate pulls the major players towards a final showdown.
Variant cover by Michelle Wong
Its so weird Stanley is only in 1 page despite Anthony knowing and trusting him enough to have him stalk Trent.
>>156128522>That hat and jacketOh no...
I love this segment, it's the calm before the storm and its nice to have Mark and Addison be father and daughter for the last time.
>>156128091nice cover
Things go even more downhill from here:(
End of Issue #10I am not sure if Addison was being stupid for leaving her phone with that chat, or if that was deliberate from her part.
Wake upIssue #11: Judgement Day>Warren lures Irene to the courthouse determined to find out what happened to his daughter, Jessica. Irene isn't impressed with the trap he's set for her, however, as Fate pulls all the major players

ADDISON WINS!FATALITY!
Addison should have beaten Irene to death instead
End of issue #11Now we are back where we started
Issue #12 (Final): Requiem>After losing everything she wanted to protect, Addison decides the fate of both her own future and that of the city, as Iris steps up to stop her. The shocking series conclusion.KORE GA... "REQUIEM"... DA!!https://youtu.be/lv9OkQ_d8Po
Variant cover by Mia GoodwinMy favorite variant cover, I like that Addison's normal face is the mask here.

>Addison uses a Scythe as a weaponI kind of get it since she does have a Hockey Stick but wouldn't it make more sense for Iris to use that instead since Scythes are associated with the Grim Reaper and the Shadow Bell are associated with death?
I still think Jessica being retconned into a Transgender woman is genuinely stupid
If you pay attention, you can see that in the second to last panel Jessica is infected.
Tomboy by Mia Goodwin & Michelle WongThe Endhttps://youtu.be/LuGAWR2eRyQThanks for reading.Despite everything, I still like Tomboy, re-reading it did show me there was a lot of foreshadowing to later events in the earlier issues, hopefully you guys enjoyed it too.Happy Halloween to everyone!
>>156128701Props to Warren I guess for keeping the monologue to a minimum and pulling the trigger relatively quick, but the threads...
>>156129639I don't mind an open ending, but this one is practically a gaping chest hole.The third volume pacing does feel a bit rushed, but still a neat story and some nice art and ultraviolence. Was it always meant to be 12 issues or was it forced/decided to end early?
>>156130302Probably the latter, issue 5 (>>156115281) implies that Addison has taken care of almost everyone on Trent's list, issue 9 introduces the supernatural elements and every subsequent issue after that is about explaining how that relates to Irene and Elena.
I resisted reading your spoiler yesterday OP, so I guess the Owen/Tico thing was just sameface. All of the characters ended up being a whole lot more interconnected in the end though, huh.
>>156129325master ragebaiter
>>156131660>I guess the Owen/Tico thing was just samefaceEven back when Goodwin was the artist Tico and Owen still looked similar enough that would have been a popular theory, if Goodwin wants to make them related for a new story maybe she could have Tico be Owen's uncle and the former never knew since from what he knows his sibling's spouse and newborn son were killed in a shootout or something.>All of the characters ended up being a whole lot more interconnected in the end thoughI mean Trent and plenty of the Afflicted can manipulate fate and the former wanted to awaken more afflicted to destroy the Elder Branch and find the new Scarlet Queen.
Bump for reading
clean issue 12 cover from Wong's websiteTo note, I can't find anything resembling a portfolio for Mia Goodwin. I just saw that she worked on another earlier Action Lab book called Princeless which looks like it's more for a younger audience.
>>156135482Makes sense, Tomboy is a revenge/supernatural comic that has a cutesy artstyle on purpose since its beginning is all about Addison being a cute teenager that turned 16.
>>156135482Neat, Goodwin and Wong’s Tomboy art is top tier.
I do feel that Tomboy and I Hate Fairyland are similar in some ways, even if most of these are just coincidental, I mean they premiered one month apart.>Violent female main protagonist who lost her innocence and is now a brutal killer>Female main antagonist whose main color is white>Initially the series creator also did the comic's artwork but eventually let another artist take over while still doing the writing and covers>Final volume is kind of rushed
