"There is no fixing the world, Lucas. It was broken then, and it's broken now. You just have to make the best of it."

This week on Storied Arcs, Mike and Alex wrap up their discussion of Skyward by Joe Henderson and Lee Garbett with Volume 3: Fix the World (issues #11-15). The guys start with their thoughts on the letters both Joe Henderson and Lee Garbett included at the end of the trade and on how the story concluded. They dive deep into how they felt the story may have pivoted from initial conception to final execution, and how that does or doesn't work for the reader on a storytelling level. Then the guys break down what the story arc title "Fix the World" might really mean for a story arc in which the world isn't exactly fixed in the way it was implied it might be, and why that different interpretation might not be a bad thing. Finally, they give their last thoughts on the book and, if the story were to continue, what direction they'd like to see it go. And they also broach the most important unanswered question of the comic- what are sports like now?

We hope you enjoyed this deep dive look into Skyward. We'll be back next week to kick off our next discussion into another great comic!
