4.0 out of 5 stars A satisfying end, November 8, 2001

I enjoyed this series from beginning to end, and the non-stop action of the fourth tome did not disappoint. The only thing I could have hoped for was a more solid last few pages. They won't disappoint anyone content-wise, but they could have been so much more. Oh well, if you like the rest of them, you need this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's the end of the world as we know it..., August 1, 2008

It all comes down to this. Vampire Queen Lisseth's plan for total world annihilation is launched, and New York City is the chosen battlefield. Sapha and his dragon army wreak havoc on the populace, while Dumas and his werewolves do their best to sow chaos as well. Can Alex and his friends possibly stave off what is shaping up to be nothing less than Armageddon?

Redemption is the final volume in the criminally underrated Crimson series, and it literally has everything but the kitchen sink. Witness Alex, Ekimus, and Saint George fighting the dragon Sapha, Joe, Zophiel and Scarlet X taking on dragons and werewolves, the Archangels of Heaven standing watch over what might be the end of the world, and the tragic, heroic sacrifice of two very important characters. And that's just the warm-up to Alex Elder, the Vampire Chosen One, facing off with Lisseth in a fiery final confrontation.

As much as I hated to see this series come to an end, I have to admit they went out in style. How many other comics can start out at day 1 of Creation and end with Armageddon? Augustyn and Ramos did something amazing with this series, and it's a real shame that so few people recognize it.

Artistically, Ramos pulled out all the stops for this one. I can't imagine how hard it was to draw a conflict of this magnitude with so many dragons, vampires, knights, wolves, angels and pure destruction, but the results are absolutely incredible.

Crimson is pure gold for dark fantasy fans. Anyone who enjoys Harry Potter, the Dresden Files, Buffy, and/or Anita Blake should definitely check out Crimson. I just wish it didn't have to end. I know it's hard to top an Armageddon story, but I'd love to have seen a follow up series on Ekimus's early years or other incarnations of Saint George.

Alex is the critical figure in this final conflict (at least in this series) between Heaven and Hell. Can a vampire boy, a vampire hunter, a mystic knight and an Earth Angel stop the forces of darkness, Satan, vampires and other not so fun things?

Redemption? Hmm, that would be a clue. That and bigfoot Ramos.
