Truthfully, I’ve never read a book quite like this one! Although it’s not something I personally enjoyed due to personal preference, if you’re open to dark, twisted storylines in comic format then this is definitely the book for you. The novel is based around two travellers who try to face the uncertainties of a life they are both trying to escape - think zombies, apocalypse and survival!

One thing I really enjoyed was the artwork in this graphic novel which took a bit of the sting away from the gore and the creepiness! It certainly verges on dark and there are definite trigger warnings, however if you are into The Walking Dead vibes I’d definitely recommend this book for you.

I requested this book due to the beautiful cover art. I’ve never read a horror genre graphic novel. I also was curious about a horror type graphic novel because I’ve never read before. Because this graphic novel was originally written in German. I’m not sure if things got lost in translation. But I was super confused. It didn’t properly explain the relationship between the zombies and humans. There just wasn't enough information for me to understand the zombies and their relationship to humans. I think if I knew German and read the original it might of made more sense to me.

Really love the graphics. The storyline and the characters are really nice. I like how the reader can learn more about the characters as they read but it doesn’t feel too info dumping. I really like how things progresses.

This was my first time reading from the author and I’m not dissatisfied.

The plot and illustrations are great, overall this graphic novel is a good one, but didn’t come as complete for the lack of explanation, it felt short and that would have turned it into a 4 star read.

A good read if you want to have a good time.

Thank you Netgalley and Olivia Vieweg for letting me receive an ARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

Eva and Vivi are thrust into a zombie apocalypse, meeting and becoming friends as they have to lean on each other to survive. Each character has their own circumstances that they are going through mentally and physically. I loved the artwork throughout - very dark and gritty. This was a pretty good story for this genre but lacked a lot of details that I thought it needed throughout to really connect the pieces. I still would recommend to my students who love this genre and graphic novels.

5 stars. I love apocalypse stories, I love zombie stories, and I love stories about friendship at the end of the world. This was a perfect graphic novel for me and I definitely cried like a baby at the end, but I loved it. Review to come.

Due to being a high school teacher, I often fall behind on writing reviews. Here are my initial thoughts.

This was hands-down one of the best graphic novels I've ever read. I cried more than I would like to admit but also smiled a lot throughout this book too. I have always had a liking for post-apocalyptic books and this one was one of the best. It was graphic and sad but also very heartwarming at the same time. The artist style was amazing, I loved all of the colors and mediums used.

I would definitely recommend reading this graphic novel especially for teens, I feel that they would really enjoy it.

Thank you so much to Graphic Universe and NetGalley for the complimentary copy of this book for my honest review!

I absolutely adored the illustration in this story. Though the story was lacking something. It was a great story none the less. If you enjoy zombies this is a quick fun one to read

I loved the artwork style, particularly within this graphic comic format, and the way the illustrations helped move the plot along really made the book for me. The plot itself was not my typical genre, but I enjoyed reading about Vivi and Eva. Even though parts of the plot were very predictable in zombie fiction, there was a fun spin on it that kept me interested. It wasn't a particularly fast-paced book, but I don't mind that. Like I said, the graphics themselves were so good that it kept me coming back for more. I would recommend it to anyone who likes young adult graphic novels. Note: I received a copy of this ebook for free in exchange for my honest review.

Beautifully written and illustrated novel about love, friendship and protecting the dearest to you even when it is hard. Worth the read!

I had high hopes for this horror graphic novel and I did enjoy the illustrations and coloring, However, found the plot to leave much unexplained, resulting in some confusion. I would only recommend this title to mature, older teens in the school library, as some may find several images disturbing.

This novela was very entertening, it has friendship, trauma and zombies.
A lot of drama in the first pages so that was kind of boring, but ones the action begins you can’t stop reading.
I rate this book with 3 stars because i didn’t feel emphaty to the characters.

The color palette appropriately matches the tone of the graphic novel, but the art isn't really consistent (and can get pretty gory). But it's much more introspective than you would expect, and there's too much context that we seem to be lacking. It could have been really great.

Zombies, graphic novel, friends, good art equaled a decent read. It's not the best or worst, just sits at a solid 3 stars for me. Nothing particularly stood out to make it more than that but it was enough to get me through the story.
I received this ARC in exchange for my honest opinion from NetGalley.

I didn’t know this was a movie! And I forgot that it was a comic. Full of surprises today. After escaping from the Weimar compound, Vivi and Eva travel the countryside full of the walking dead in search of the city. If only they can make it to the city, where they make the medicine, perhaps they can remain human and retake the world. But it’s quite a ways there, and the journey is filled with zombies. Vivi still suffers from the loss of her sister, and Eva is trying to hide the fact that she’s slowly turning. An unlikely pair, they don’t get along too well, but they’ll have to rely on each other to survive and might just forge a bond in the process.

Wow, I tore right through this one. Somehow I had forgotten it was a graphic novel and was expecting straight prose. I was pleasantly surprised, though, and wholly invested in the story and artwork. About halfway through, I kept thinking what a good movie this would make, and then, when I was doing background research, guess what? It’s a movie! And it’s on Tubi. Looks like I’ve got plans within the next few days.

I really enjoyed the story, the art, and the overall pacing. I appreciated the analysis of the apocalypse and the silver linings that zombies afforded our characters, like seeing the stars. Living in a pandemic for a year, it really is the little things. Thank goodness our dead don’t walk, but at times it feels like we’re in an apocalypses, and it’s surprisingly comforting reading such books, and hopefully watching such films.

I definitely recommend this one, and I found it through my virtual library card, so check it out wherever you get your comics.

3 Stars

EverAfter is a very creepy and cute tale about friendships and surviving the zombie apocalypse. I first want to give high praise for the artwork in this graphic novel. It is beautiful and haunting and I could see myself reading more work that the artist is involved in. I really thought that the idea and plot had a strong theme however it was lacking in execution which ultimately made this an average read.

I did not get to finish this book before it expired, but from the couple of pages I read I loved the art. The book seemed intriguing and mysterious with an engaging art style to invest me in the story. I will suggest this title to my library so I can finish it!

This book has well-developed characters and events that will hold the interest of a wide-range of readers.

This teen graphic novel takes place in a dystopian future. Vivi and Eva are the two main characters here, both teens. They start out their story separately in the German town of Weimar. Vivi has been in an institution, but we are unclear on its nature. There seem to be both physical and mental aspects to the treatments given there, and it seems like Vivi has been a pet of the head of the institution. Vivi is struggling with her emotions after the death of her younger sister, which she feels guilt over. Eva has been a leader of a group tasked with guarding the city's perimeter, but she is also struggling with her feelings, and now is trying to fight against a transformation that she is afraid of.
When Vivi escapes from her institution and is hiding from people looking for her, she boards a supply train to another city, but the doors suddenly close, trapping her on the unmanned train. She finds Eva, whom she'd had a brief encounter with earlier, also on the train.
When the train breaks down between the cities, the girls have to deal with the decision of whether to wait for help or strike out on their own through unknown and potentially dangerous territory. There are many things that will challenge them, from high heat levels to groups of wandering zombies, as well as their own feelings as they continue their struggle into the future.

the art style was so pretty but a little dark for my taste, i still really loved the story and couldn't' put this down because it was so magical.
