Thoughts. Endtown is anything but a warm and fuzzy strip. World War III. End of the world as we know it. For comic relief, most people were turned into cute, talking animals. Comic relief didn’t last long..Doom and gloom seems the norm in Endtown..Is Endtown an action-adventure strip? Harder to tell..Part of it is the three installments a week. There’s a lot of action going on, but it takes a lot of time to deliver it. Right now, this is reminding me of Wally and Holly and their adventures in Unity. It took at least two years to get them to Unity, and as long to get out of there..But bringing up Wally and Holly and Kirby brings up something else: Maybe I’m alone in this opinion, but the story of Wally and company had adventure!.Wally and Holly and Kirby were always doing something. Same for the lesser characters, such as Jim, Sarah, Piotr, even the king and queen lizards. Here, no one is doing much of anything except trying to stay out of the way!.Yes, I know Endtown is, in the end, a story of survival. Clearly, Walt has been painted as the up-and-coming protagonist in this saga, but his moment hasn’t yet come – and it’s not at all clear when his moment will come..Aaron has painted a good canvas. Don’t get me wrong. I’m just waiting for the actors to step forward!
