The final issue of Barrier is here, and with it will likely be a bittersweet ending. Brian K. Vaughan isn’t exactly known for his happy endings, so this is something to keep in mind as we explore Barrier #5 today. The last time we saw Liddy and Oscar they were trapped on an alien planet, but rather than letting that fact defeat them they had stepped up and started fighting. Here’s hoping that fight ends up taking them somewhere good.

It’s time for issue #4 of Barrier. How they’re planning on following up the extraordinary storytelling style shown in the last issue is anyone’s guess. The last time we saw our weary and unwilling travelers, they were trapped in a room that was rapidly filling with a water-like substance. Here we’ll hopefully not only find out they survive that, but how they’re planning on getting out of this situation altogether.

The third issue of Barrier is out, and I have to admit I’ve been really looking forward to this one. I’ve heard talk about it before – it’s the first online comic to be entirely nonverbal. Considering the story being told this actually makes sense, but it’s still such an interesting idea.

Barrier continues its unique storytelling style in this second issue. It’s the second out of five issues in total, and it really isn’t afraid to take any risks. When last we saw Liddy and Oscar they were being picked up by an alien spaceship, of all things. I don’t know how they’re going to get out of this situation, but I can only assume that they’re going to have to learn to work together in order to succeed.

Barrier isn’t a new series, but it is absolutely worth reading. It was originally shared on PanelSyndicate.com (and can actually still be found there). It’s being put into print for the first time ever this month, and honestly, even if you’ve already read the series before it’s worth picking up and taking a look at. The artwork is absolutely stunning, and I think it shows off beautifully in print format – especially the covers (have I ever mentioned that I’m a total sucker for pretty covers?).
