3.5 starsNew characters are introduced. Just great. It's bad enough I haven't been able to connect to the original characters, but now I have to make new friends.

Prom, drugs, booze, politics, revenge, D&D, twists, and comebacks! Remender and team are killing it!In volume 5 of this amazing series, Shabnam rises to power and commands much of the school, the freshmen class take the spotlight, and Saya is being hunted by samurai assassins. While many of the characters from previous volumes are gone (but not all of them!), the new characters are totally fascinating. Unlike volume 4, which was exhausting nonstop action, this one allows me to catch my breath an...

there is just so much surprises im sh00k. the fact that saya is mourning marcus but hes not dead and he just rescued maria, ask me if im ok

It's a new year in assassination school and I find myself not caring. Even though there's a focus on these new freshmen, we only get little tidbits about why they are there. I found myself forcing to continue in places. Then with the last issue we get the story I expected to see and found myself interested again.

After the hell that was the last volume, this was a bittersweet volume to read. I like Saya. She's a complex character and she's badass af, but I just can't get over what she did. Seems like she's got a new set of problems though. The new characters introduced are interesting and pretty damn funny. They're also geeks, which I appreciate. Nothing wrong with a good game of D&D. Deadly Class still gets me laughing, still has amazing art, and still catches me by surprise.This last portion will be me...

Deadly Class remains one of the best series out there. Smart writing, well done art, and great pacing with a wonderful cast of characters. Spoilers from volume 4 so don't read ahead if you aren't ready. Ready? READY!? Okay here we go. After Marcus and crew were murdered horribly I thought we might be in trouble. Killing compelling character's can be great and add to the story but then we got new characters and what if we don't like them? Luckily we got a new cast of kids, all freshmen, and all w...

Some childish humour has returned. A completely new set of 1st years or rats. Plotting was great but the ending was a little cliched. I did have a feeling something like that would occur. Still one of my fave series

A change in perspective and tone makes for a different read.World: The art is great, I love Scott's art, but I will say this and it's has always annoyed me when artists DON'T DO RESEARCH on street signs that are not English. There is Google translate, there are photos all over the web, IT'S NOT THAT HARD!!!! PLEASE DON'T GIVE US FAKE LINE FOR JAPANESE IT'S DISRESPECTFUL. The world building is fine, it's a departure from the huge previous arc and I love it. We get a new batch of students and this...

I own this book. It's a new year at Kings Dominion. The carnage of the last semester has been left behind as Master Lin welcomes a new batch of freshmen through the doors. Very few of the Sophomores have survived. The usual suspects; Viktor and co, are still as brutish as ever. Petra has completely rewritten herself after betraying Billy. The trauma of that getting to her more than she has let on. Saya however, just isn't the same. After losing Willy and Marcus, she has lost her spark but rema

It's a new year at Assassination High School and that means a whole new crop of international freshmen for last year's survivors to kick around. Enter:--Quan, a wiseass Vietnamese greaser fan--Zenzele, an African born again Christian and very unlikely enrollee--Helmut, a Soviet-hating East German metalhead and D&D enthusiast--Tosahwi, a Native American skateboarder with a grudge against corrupt law enforcement.The new kids settle in, the older characters jockey for power, and there's more violen...

FINALLY. Well…actually, I did read this volume as single issues as they were released because I honestly could NOT wait for this volume to be released after the way that volume 4 ended. This was the first time I had read individual issues of any comic before and it has definitely introduced me to the world of digital comics! Once the entire volume was released in paperback, you better believe I bought it and read the whole thing again. Ugh, this series is too good.--What I LikedThe new story. Wi...

2.5/5 STARSI’m probably the only one who didn’t connect to this like I wanted based on the high ratings it received, but regardless of that, this remains one of my all time favorite graphic novel series as a whole.

FLIPPING THROUGH FLOPPIESJust a little update on the series up to this point: great twists and turns, a continued focus on character, and FINALLY we are beginning to uncover Saya's mysterious backstory. A single complaint: the "new" class that is introduced in this arc slows down the pace of the story from the stunner at the end of volume 4. However, that change of pace ends up paying off with some killer action scenes and a slew of new characters I'm interested to follow in the next few issues....

Ok, I can't get enough of this series. Every time I think it's going to hit a rut BOOM the story keeps adding excellent plot. I did watch episode one of the TV series which was pretty good, nice representation of the characters. One thing I learned from this volume is that the covers have pretty big spoilers on them so I would suggest not looking at future volume covers if you don't want spoilers. This volume focuses more on plot and character development then just the murdering and violence in

Better than the last Volume, but a tad predictable. That didn't make it any less enjoyable, though. I'm digging the new cast of characters, as well as the story's progression. Keep 'em comin'!!!

This was a really good installment. I loved that it followed Saya so closely. The new characters are great and liked being out of Marcus' head. Dude is depressing. The D&D part was kinda weird but fun.

Wasn't as ~sold~ with this one as the previous volumes, but it still retained the shit-gets-real vibes that just makes me wanna read more.

‘’Being underestimated is a gift. It forces you to work harder, accomplish more.’’ I'm a creature of habit and struggle with the lack of OG characters and the addition of new ones. Not that the new ones are bad, they're alright and I'm sure I'll grow to enjoy them in later volumes, but I just miss all my OG babies.The final part, or the ''epilogue'', was kickass though and I'm so excited now.
