This was fun and very action-packed. If you want a story about badass women, give this a shot.

We've got elves, contract killers, zombies, fun illustrations, swords, and women that aren't taking shit from anyone. Very fun. There's a lot going on, I'm sure I even missed some key action points as well.

This was chaotic in a good way, a fun way.

I also really enjoyed the art, I thought it was very cute and fun to read. My eyes were always visually interested, I spent more time looking at the art than I did the words.

I do wish that the stories felt more connected. I think they needed more flow, something to make it all come together. They didn't all seem to be occurring in the same world, if that makes sense.

Thanks to NetGalley for the e-ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review! My Goodreads review is up and my TikTok (Zoe_Lipman) review will be up at the end of the month with my monthly reading wrap-up.

This comic is divided into three interwoven stories happening simultaneously, which can make it feel quite chaotic and confusing at first.
Story One follows two elven sisters as they uncover the truth about their heritage. It feels almost like a fever dream something clearly supported by artwork displayed in this section of the comic.
Story Two shifts gears with a wild, high-energy bachelorette party that quickly turns into a fast-paced escape from bounty hunters. It's intense and action-packed, making for an entertaining ride.
Story Three centers around the daughter of one of the most feared men in the world, who is simply trying to have a girl's night out. This storyline appears to serve as the glue that ties the other three together, helping to answer many of the lingering questions as the narrative progresses.
Overall, the artwork is well-suited to the tone and energy of each storyline, and I found the visuals to be a strong point of the comic. While I enjoyed elements of the different plots, I wasn’t particularly drawn to any one of them, and much of the story left me feeling confused.

This is a chaotic, action packed collection that features long legged, lovely women killing guys. In story one, we have a story about elves. In story two, it’s a group of contract killers protecting an oblivious bride. In book three, the elves are back, but so are zombies? Honestly, it’s a bit of a mess at the moment, and I imagine that — if I continued the series — things would be either explained (or at least tied together) or become even more chaotic.

The art is lovely, though, with a sort of art deco flair to the women that I enjoyed. For all that there’s violence — so much violence — it’s all swords and guns and explosions rather than assault or threats of sexual assault. The stories move fast and are somewhat connected — one and three with the same antagonist, book two taking place on the same night, but not necessarily in the same world — and I can’t say that any one of them stood out more than the others, for me.

Fun, but I don’t see myself continuing the series. Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for the ARC.

The biggest pro about This Ends Tonight, for me, was the art. The colours, the design choices, how the panels were laid out - all of that worked for me and the character designs were incredible. Beth, Rachel, and Fiona were my faves. My biggest wish is that we could have seen more of it!

And that was my main issue with this series, was that it felt too short and disjointed. I couldn't figure out who everyone was in relation to each other; it felt like it should have either been three different stories, or more volumes should've been added. The plot was very hard to follow, who was related to who (except for the first volume, which I thought would be more useful for understanding the following two). Everything is connected... somehow, but never elaborated on enough for me to understand exactly how they were related to each other. I also can appreciate open endings, but this was all way too confusing to justify one, in my opinion.

I really would give this closer to a 2, but I rounded it up to a 3 based on the art and design. Thank you to NetGalley and Image Comics for the eARC.

Unfortunately this one wasn't for me. The female characters didn't resonate with me, and everything felt really disjointed. Very pretty art.

I First of all, I want to say thank you to Netgalley for let me read this comic. I was intrigued with the cover of the comic at first. The first story make me wish that all the stories were in the same world (if you know what I mean), and it was very cool, with a mythology that makes you hope to know more about it. It is true that the second one for me was the more difficult to get invested to, but I recognize that, with the last one have more sense of closure. For me this comic is a 7 out of 10:
it has a beautiful art, and stories that eventually are crossed well, giving the comic a sense of cohesion and good closure, but if I have to put a negative part, maybe that would be that, although is not exaggerated, I think is obviously a comic about action women created by men: is not offensive or anything like that, but it has something with some of the characters that makes me wonder if maybe would have been a bit different and even more cohesive.
