This was alright it didn’t grip me really, even if I tried to stay with it. The graphics are good but sometimes lacked something which I can’t quite put my finger on

I'm a bit disappointed with this to be honest. I feel like this could have been a single graphic novel not 3 volumes with a lot cut out. However, obviously this is personal preference and I seem to be the minority based on the reviews on here but it's such a shame because Volume 1 was really interesting.

All good things must come to an end, including Jonna and the Unpossible Monsters. This charming series is created by Laura and Chris Samnee, who dedicate the third and final volume to “all the kids who doodle and daydream”, which feels appropriate given how the book feels it could be conceived through a child’s imagination.

Rainbow and her younger sister Jonna have been through a lot throughout this title, trying to survive in a post-apocalyptic world, fighting the likes of giant monsters and the worst of humanity. As they travel to locate their missing father, there is still the mystery over our titular hero, who suddenly disappeared only to return from the wild, nearly feral and suddenly possessing the strength to punch out the monsters. As we are approaching the end, we might as well get some answers.

Vol. 3 opens on an eight-page silent sequence starting off with a giant egg crashing to Earth like an asteroid and upon arrival, the Unpossible Monsters rise from the ground as witnessed by fellow adventurers Gor and Nomi. This is the first of a number of revelations along the way, and whilst there still isn’t a great deal of character development, the heart of the story remains the relationship between Rainbow and Jonna.

Upon discovering the Jonna clone at the end of the previous volume, this gives us our first glimpse of her possibly otherworldly origins, but Rainbow is always determined to remind her that she is her sister and nothing is going to change. Towards the climax, we get the big exposition dump that explains everything, with a touch of horror that might upset younger readers (as if the giant monsters weren’t scary enough).

For most of the storytelling, dialogue is rarely used as Chris Samnee’s art speaks louder than words. Though so much of Samnee’s work showcases the grandeur of this fantastical world, along with the Kaiju-inspired creatures that dominate it, he doesn’t negate the intimacy of the central relationship. Known for his cartoonish character designs, Samnee allows his characters to emote in a heightened fashion that allows us to see how they are feeling without any dialogue.

Epic and intimate, the finale of the Samnees' monster-infested, family-defined comic is a heartwarming, satisfying read.

The conclusion to the Jonna and the Unpossible Monsters series. The artwork was stunning and I enjoyed the characters. This volume concluded in an interesting way. We finally get more info on the giant creatures roaming the land, and more on Jonna’s backstory.
Overall I think it was a very great concept that would have benefited from an extra volume or two rather than rushing through explanations and world building / story building. This series is 80% action, 10% story and 10% characters, which I think could have been better with a bit more balance.
However, still a worthwhile read with some beautiful artwork and an interesting concept.
If you liked this, try the graphic novel We Live (or vice versa).

I really wanted to love this series because the artwork is amazing. I just really felt like there was not enough info/dialogue for it to make a lot of sense. I got more reading the synopsis after I finished the book than I did from the book itself.
I understood that some life form/meteor came down in the "then" part at the beginning but nothing else was explained. Jonna and Rainbow went into an egg (?) but I felt things were really half explained. There was barely dialogue at all. I think more dialogue would have really helped this story along.
It was very short, it took me maybe half an hour to read and I think more depth and world building would have also helped. The artwork was so great, like I said, I think there just needed to be more. And I would have loved to see more and explore the world and these characters more.

I really liked this story I liked the main character and the progression she makes from the start of the book to the end, I also adored the colours and the relationships in this book it had me invested in volume three of a story I had not previously read from. I will be reading more from this series in the future as enjoyed the book a lot.

Jonna and the Unpossible Monsters Volume 3 delivers on the promise of action and fantastic visioning from the first two volumes. Chris and Laura Samnee share a story that is well-paced for exhilaration, and the visuals are striking. Matthew Wilson’s coloring brings an energy to the page that adds to the visual hook, and Crank rounds out the creative team with lettering that brings the narrative to the audience with excellence.

A fun book (and series) for all ages.
