Snyder has said that there may be more arcs of Severed, so that might be why.

It was just done drawn weird. But besides that, top notch art that is a nice change of pace from your average book. I don’t know if I believe that he is supernatural or immortal. He may just be a little delusional or skitzo or crazy like most killers tend to be.

It actually makes him less scary. I thought he was scary because he was just some guy who will just kill you for no reason. Making him immortal feels kind of cliche. I was hoping Severed would be more like Criminal, in that there would be different miniseries with different stories with similar settings or themes. I don’t know if I would just want this same killer again.

Actually, I didn’t mention it in the review, but knowing that the kid would be safe made it really important that the mom was put in danger. She kinda took his place from a dramatic standpoint.

Snyder has said a few places that they MIGHT revisit this world and I’d love it if they do.

This was great. The only thing that sucks is that it was a finite series. Hopefully they do bring it back. The only nit pick I have is that I felt the ending was somewhat anti-climatic. We knew that he didn’t die as a kid. There wasn’t as much tension there as there should be. I thought that in the present they would confront each other again and that would be the big climax, but it was left open ended. He did set up a sequel nicely though.
