Well it finally happened. Thanks mainly to poor sales, this is the last issue of Kid Eternity. Unsurprisingly this issue feels incomplete as if there was something important left unsaid. Every dangling plot-line gets its own one panel resolution as things get sucked into an obscene burst of optimism before the bitter and twisted good-bye from Ann Nocenti. I don't blame her.
Very few nice things have been said on the net about Kid Eternity. I loved it as dearly as I loved Ann's run on Daredevil. Needless to say, I'm sad. I'll finish this review some other time.
