As all the universes of "Gideon Falls" finally converge, can the combined forces of this rag-tag band of adventurers be enough to stop the Laughing Man and his limitless legions of evil?! Find out the answers to all your questions! This volume include loads of behind-the-scene extras from this ground-breaking series.
Well it's an ending I guess. While it's overall more coherent than the likes of Lost I'm not entirely sure what the point of all this was, despite it continually seeming like there would be one. It was a wild ride with some revolutionary art, but despite some grand concepts it didn't seem to me that it had that much to say.
An okay ending to a great series. I would still recommend Gideon Falls to fans of horror fiction, but the ending fizzles out all the buildup this series had.

The worst thing about the ending isn't actually the ending itself, but how it invalidates the events of the last few volumes. The game of cat and mouse of running away from the evil, getting separated, running away, then uniting later …

The worst thing about the ending isn't actually the ending itself, but how it invalidates the events of the last few volumes. The game of cat and mouse of running away from the evil, getting separated, running away, then uniting later felt pointless. We're led to believe it's all part of the plan that people in the future set up for us, but that whole plot line turned out to not make much sense.
