Reviews of previous issues: Issue #1, Issue #2, Issue #3, Issue #4.
Fifth and final issue in a series that examines the effect of a mysterious event that heals all human disease and effectively eliminates death from natural causes.
The writing and creativity in this issue were excellent, but the lack of resolution with this being the final issue was disappointing.
As with previous issues, this contained three stories. Two were seemingly self-contained. One of those examined the question of what happens to prisoners sentenced to life behind bars when life could now mean an eternity. The other standalone story focused on a disabled man who was somehow passed over in the Healing.
The main ongoing story hinted at big revelations, but nothing really came of it, which was frustrating because the slow-burn pacing of this series had been a strong point, so to see it end here left a ton of unfulfilled potential.
Still, the work that the series did up to this point with its fascinating concept was quite intriguing. If they ever do decide to continue the series, I would be eager to read more.
Rating: 5/10
