Hotel Oblivion has been a very enjoyable read that continually brings out Gerard Way’s creative writing and Gabriel Ba’s playful artwork. This series has been a huge fan favorite for its unusual narratives and bright visuals. At a seven-issue pace, the story gave plenty of attention to the main characters while introducing new concepts that don’t feel forced. Its closing issue shows off the with a grand fight, it also ties up a few loose ends and a cliffhanger that tease for the next adventure. This series still has a few more mysterious to keep the readers guessing and it will keep bringing them back for more.
