“But after Revival Day, we all went back to being within reach of the scythe. It made us remember how little time we get together. It made us honest. It made us human.”
This week, Mike and Alex warp up their discussion of Tim Seeley and Mike Norton’s rural noir, Revival, as they dive deep into Deluxe Volume 4 (issues #36-47). The guys start at the end and break down the comic’s final moments, looking at what does and doesn’t work for them from both a story (aka “what happens”) and plot (aka “how it happens”) standpoint. They also discuss the relative happiness of the ending (in which Mike has one specific exception with) and what they think the final coda page means, if it’s supposed to be mean anything at all.
We hope you’ve enjoyed our deep dive look into Revival. But wait, there’s more! Next week on the feed, we’re super excited to present an exclusive interview with Revival co-creators Tim Seeley and Mike Norton. The chat covers all aspects of Revival, from its origin to its presentation and storytelling to the upcoming TV adaptation of Syfy. You don’t want to miss it!
