I am pretty sure that I have stated this before, but I have found over the last six months that I prefer limited-run series to many ongoing ones, partially because I know that I'm going to get a complete story and that it probably won't be canceled. Every now and then, a limited series becomes an ongoing, like in the case of Boom! Studios'
Lumberjanes, but for the most part, like
Babylon Five's five-season run, the creators know that they have a specific theme or themes they want to explore and then be done with it. Archaia's
Butterfly is a perfect example of how effective a short story can be in comparison to a novel, especially when it's done as well as this was.
Just as an aside, this was going to be a review of the final issue, but I decided to look at the series as a whole instead. Actually, I think that was my original plan when I first picked up
Butterfly, so I'm happy that I enjoyed it as much as I did.
No spoilers below the cut!
