Tegenvaller... Reeks begon super, maar blijft begaf gaan. :-( ( )

This is the close of Marc Legendre's reimagining of the classic Flemish kids' comic, Suske en Wiske, with the two central characters finally reunited but only for a rather downbeat ending. Volume 5 actually won the Willy Vandersteen Prize, the award for a Dutch-language comic named after the original creator of Suske en Wiske.

I have to say that these final two volumes somewhat lost me. I thought that the fifth volume went in for shocking violence, which I never much like. The art and characterisation remain good, but perhaps missed the mark under our curent circumstances. ( )
