The final confrontation with the titular Mamo sells all of the thematic messaging of the series, and the recurrent callbacks to the now fully blossomed relationship between Orla and Jo really solidifies the strength of the series. It’s not a simple thing that Sas Milledge has decided to tackle, but somehow they managed to do so in a way that is endearingly sweet and visually stunning. Mamo #5 picks up immediately from the last pages of Mamo #4, and does what Mamo does best: approach the complicated issue of familial inheritance and duty juxtaposed against friends learning how to support each other as they navigate these things. Quick recap of last issue: Orla and Jo find themselves in a bit of an argument, that ended with Orla stuck in a trap of her grandmother’s making, but thankfully Jo wasn’t about to let her friend take on the final obstacle alone.
