The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys #4 review

THE TRUE LIVES OF THE FABULOUS KILLJOYS #4

by Gerard Way, Shaun Simon and Becky Cloonan

OK, so I was planning to take a break from reviewing this month, and I was going to upload a review extravaganza of Villain's Month by the end of the month, but this issue just made me want to review something.

The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys has been a decent, but underwhelming series so far, with stunning art from Becky Cloonan and some good dialogue, but the plot has felt very disjointed, and it never really seemed like there was any danger. Until now. This issue will go down in history as the chapter of Killjoys that got the ball rolling. Way and Simon fix many of their problems with the past issue. The dialogue feels much more natural with the slang that made some scenes nearly incoherent cut down to a minimum. The story that's been stealing the show as of late, about the hooker robots reaches a tearjerking high point. The main story about the Girl and the Ultra-V's which has been very uninteresting, finally gets interesting. Characters that I hated at first finally The story has finally reached the same level of awesome as the art. This is exactly what I've wanted from the start of the series.

Oh, and the art? It's. Becky. Cloonan. Speaks for itself.

Killjoys #4 is where the series finally gets awesome. If you dropped the series earlier, give it another chance. I'm serious. You won't regret it.
