Deeply unsettling take on Zombie apocalypse. Pastel colors contrast with disturbing content and make the story even stronger. Impressive, disturbing,. fresh.

Um quadrinho simples que prende a atenção do leitor, porém não explica todas as problemáticas levantadas durante a história. Temos um enredo pós apocalíptico, aparentemente zumbis devastaram a terra e há uma cidade que sobrevive reclusa do mundo externo. Temos duas protagonistas opostas, porém ambas tem uma dívida com o passado que envolve toda a trama. Durante a leitura por vezes o imaginário das personagens se confundem com o real, seja por conta de sonhos, doença mental ou física, o que nem sempre é deixado muito claro. É uma história que cai no clichê de zumbis, mas levanta alguns aspectos diferentes que poderiam ter sido melhores desenvolvidos.

This was a very creepy and heartbreaking graphic novel about zombies. I did like that this wasn’t your typical zombie virus as well.

Ever After is a graphic novel about two teenage girls traveling through the abandoned countryside after a zombie apocalypse. The art is lovely, but the story, unfortunately, fell flat for me. Neither of the main characters, Vivi or Eva, were particularly compelling and I often questioned their motives. The story wasn't very cohesive and didn't seem to end up anywhere.

In a dystopian world filled with zombies, Vivi and Eva are on a mission to make it to the city of Jena, where life is much different from the dangerous place the girls had originally lived. When a train the girls are riding on breaks down, they have to travel on foot and hope they stay alive. Vivi and Eva are both carrying secrets—secrets that could get themselves killed.

This was such an interesting graphic novel! The illustrations were absolutely gorgeous and fun to look at, and they really depicted the plot of the story well, although the different shades of pink and purple that made up many of the pages masked the dark undertones portrayed in the story. I really liked that aspect and thought it gave some spooky vibes.

Overall, the graphics and dialogue flowed well with one another and allowed for a quick, easy read. I am a sucker for dystopian and apocalyptic stories, so this really hit the spot for me. I would recommend this book to readers who enjoy a good zombie story!

Thanks to NetGalley and Graphic Universe for providing an ARC of this graphic novel!

I was unable to download this graphic novel to any of my devices or pc. I was disappointed in my lack of technical ability as I was excited to read this. I’m sorry that I was not able to read or review this one. But now I know to not request anymore graphic novels.

Thanks to NetGalley for the arc!

It is a great foundation for an interesting story, but it just goes nowhere. At least the art is very striking.

⭐1 Stars⭐

Eyecatching but lacking in substance.

What drew me to this book was the concept and the cover, both captured my interest and promised a unique story in a saturated genre. But unfortunately, Vieweg's story was muted, disjointed and underwhelming.

It felt like I was missing half the story because the narrative was so fragmented, we move from one event to another leaving plot points standing and characters lacking depth. The lack of chemistry between the cast meant I felt no empathy for Eva or ViVi and that any interactions between them felt strained. This was made worse by the fact that their dialogue inferred nothing about their character arcs and every decision they made seemed to just be a way to move along the plot or establish a new setting.

The art style is nothing special, I thought it would be used to draw attention to the disparity between the domestic and the horrific aspects of the story but it wasn't. The juvenile illustrations made it difficult for me to take the story seriously and sapped any suspense from an already dry plot.

Overall, I think the concept of the story is better than its execution in this case. This may be partially due to the fact this is a translated work but with that said the story still should have been able to stand on its own and impact the reader emotionally.

Trigger Warning: Self Harm, Suicide Attempt, Psychiatric Ward, Body Horror, Graphic Violence, Self Medication.

In theory, I should have loved this book. The idea of two girls who survived the zombie apocalypse, each of whom is struggling with their past/future is right up my street. But this story did not work for me. The art is pretty. I like the soft colors and how expressive it feels, but I could not get invested in these characters. The stakes felt low just because I didn't care.

I liked the graphics of this book, but I will admit that I was confused through out the book. I think I got the overall concept, but it was very confusing.

Woo this was haunting. Incredibly simplistic in language but the imagery carried the plot and emotions that the really brief dialog did not. I do not usually read zombie stories but this one had an intriguing cover and a shockingly hopeful tone through the young protagonist.

A beautifully illustrated book about friendship and protecting those you love, even in the hardest of times. Ever After not only gives a new look into dystopian literature but it provides a fresh lens on what that could mean to us as humans. Most importantly, what makes us humans alive?

Loved the illustrations and graphics in this novel. It really helped me relate to the story and added depth to the book. I LOVED the characters and the plot, and as someone who doesn't read graphic novels often this was a reminder that I should. I would recommend this to all ages honestly, it can suit a large range of ages from around 10-18.

This is an apocalyptic graphic novel, but unfortunately, it was not my favorite art style or storytelling.

I received this as a review copy from NetGalley and Graphic Universe / Lerner Publishing Group. All opinions are my own.

I found "Ever After" to be a poignant story of survival, friendship, loss and forgiveness. The story feels disjointed at times but it fits the characters it seeks to portray as they process their traumas. I liked the premise of the story very much and thought the characters of Eva and Vivian were very nuanced and complicated. I liked the way the reader slowly learned about what had gotten them to this point. I found it to be an enjoyable read and also enjoyed the visuals of the story. It's a meaningful take on the zombie genre and a special story.

This is like watching Caroline, I did couple of years ago. Don't let the innocent cover fool you. It is creep-fest and horror walk down the lane. Not recommended for people like me. Not recommended, period. I am going to have some serious nightmares now.

I did not like this story at all. It made no sense to me and I felt like this story had no plot at all. This may have been because this graphic novel has been translated but again this made no sense and I was confused throughout reading this story. Due to feeling like this story had no plot I found it really hard to follow and understand.

There was no background information at all about where these zombies came from, why our main character was in a mental institution or why she was turning into a plant? The rest of this story was these two girls running away and fighting zombies.

I'm sad that this is a one star read because I was really excited to read this one.

Ever After took my by a surprise. Somehow I missed the fact that this is a post-apocalyptic zombie comic, haha. Vivi lives in a mental hospital, since she was saved from the zombie apocalypse and the anxiety and everything drives her to run away only to meet Eva, who's on the run too and in the midst of transforming to a zombie herself. Vivi struggles with the fact that her sister died because of her. These two broken girls get on a train that breaks down in the middle of nowhere and they start their escape journey trying to survive and fight the monsters. The atmosphere is crooked as it's cute and horrifying at the same time. Vieweg is awesome at picturing the girls mental state and how that kind of paints all the things that happen and merge in with it. The comic is deliciously suffocating and weirdly broken.

The art is great, so out of place, which makes this wonderful, since it's unexpected (probably why I missed the whole point). The colors are rich and the comic is smudgy, which is a nice contrast. My only concern is that the comic is slightly out of rhythm and at times hard to follow. This eats out the pleasure and horror of the reading experience. Still, a good and interesting comic!

The cover art was beautiful and the artwork in general was good. I liked the overall plot which immediately caught my attention. I was excited to read this. It was an okay read and had some parts that didn't come together as well as it could have. There were also some parts that I was confused about. Not bad, but also not that great.

We start with a content warning: graphic violence and attempted suicide. Olivia Vieweg certainly delivered graphic violence.

Ever After has my favorite dystopian tropes: zombies and asylums. We follow Vivi, who has suffered a breakdown after getting separated from her sister during the zombie apocalypse. The creepy woman who runs the asylum where Vivi is staying treats her like her daughter, going so far as to get Vivi to dye her hair pink to match. Which was totally creepy to watch. Like there isn’t enough going on in Vivi’s life and now some creeper wants her to look and act like her dead daughter.

But Vivi doesn’t seem to care about that. I mean, in the grand scheme of things if it’s the asylum or zombies, I’d go with the asylum too. To teach Vivi a lesson, the warden sends her to fence-mending duty. And the worst happens: a zombie attacks.



Vivi witnesses a girl get bitten and then shot. And she knows she has to leave town.

On the way out she encounters Eva who has a bad attitude and a dangerous secret.

Vivi and Eva never really become friends. And to be frank, they’re barely traveling companions.

I ate Ever After up in a single sitting. More than once I audibly gasped at what was happening on the page. Part of my intense reactions, I think, was due to the art. Not just the graphic nature of apocalyptic fiction but the contrast between the childlike illustration and the dead and bloodied bodies.

While the title and cover art are, incredibly misleading, I still think Ever After is a great addition to any graphic novel collection. The story was had me on the edge of my seat and I was attached to these characters. Well, to Vivi anyway.

Eva got what was coming to her. You’ll see.
