Trees Volume 3: Three FatesWarren Ellis, writer; Jason Howard, artistImage Comics, 2020Warren Ellis has said this is the last Trees collection "for the foreseeable future," but that hopefully the creative team will return to it someday. The series was always intended to have a global view: the second collection revisited some characters from the first one, but this one…See More

"Yeah, Milligan is never less than clever, is he? I picked it up cheap during one of Comixology's Vertigo sales, and I would recommend it."
"This one sounded like fun to me, but I passed on it for money reasons, and I never heard any buzz about it after the fact. It sounds like something I'd enjoy, though. And man, the pun of the title is just delicious."
"No one would like to see Vertigo return more than me, but I'll be surprised if it happens. I agree that it was a strong brand during much of its run, even during periods when it was having trouble finding hits. But the imprint floundered so…"

These writers all know each other, and had a good time tossing the questions around,… Continue
