The Many Deaths of Laila Starr #5
In the final issue of “The Many Deaths of Laila Starr,” 28 years have passed since the events of issue #4. Darius is now an elderly man who has yet to create immortality, and Laila Starr is on her way to meet with him to explain why the creation of immortality is a terrible idea. The emotional rollercoaster that the pair has been on has been filled with new and strong emotions, regret, and the conclusion to this melancholy-filled series has left a lasting impression.
“The Many Deaths of Laila Starr” is truly something special, a unique tale of two lives lived in regret and searching for answers. Author Ram V’s outstanding storytelling has left a punch to the gut. The artwork by Filipe Andrade is a spectacle to behold, and together they have created a “must-read” story that I will never stop recommending to anyone and everyone. Ram V has crafted a tale so emotional and profound that it could easily be his magnum opus.
The pitch of a god of death seeking revenge against a man destined to create immortality sounds bold and epic. However, the story itself is a complex series of morality tales that are wonderfully human and relatable. The lives within this story are complex and filled with experiences that many readers will relate to. It’s an emotional and conflicting tale where compassion ultimately breaks through.
The series is a “must-read” in my opinion, and I will certainly purchase the full collected edition when it comes out. It will have a place on my bookshelf, and whenever someone talks about comics being for children, “The Many Deaths of Laila Starr” will be presented as an example of how storytelling is a medium not just reserved for books, TV, and film.
Without spoiling too much for the reader, I advise everyone to give this series a chance and open themselves up to an incredibly powerful story.
