This was definitely interesting, I don't think I would reach for it in a Bookshop though, there seemed to be a lot going on at once but at the same time I don't feel like anything stood out- dare I say that sometimes there is such thing as "too much" smut?

5 stars! This graphic novel is the reason why I fell in love and started going to local comic books stores and pre ordering. I can't get enough of this artwork, it is truly beautiful. The beauty of each characters unique features and bright eyes. I enjoyed the entire story line fixed on this new app called Crave and everyone enters in thier desires and chances at having it satisfied. I finished this in one whole sitting! Highly recommend 👌 for mature audiences of course.

This was such a fun read! It reminds me of a Black Mirror episode. The illustrations are beautiful, I can see this developing into a series easily.

Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for the chance to read and review this graphic novel. I was excited for the chance to review a graphic novel but this one was odd. Set on a college campus and everyone is using this new hookup app and I actually just DNFed after a 1/3 of it. Not for me.

The serialization set up decent cliff-hangers for the each subsequent section. However, the plot was horrifically predictable and the character development was not as well-defined as it could be. If you’re searching for a slightly spicy and very quick read, choose this. Illustrations are bright, clear and colorful. Character’s emotions are well-defined in the panels, but more anticipation between the crave and result could have resulted in a more enjoyable book.

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for a copy!

Crave follows a group of college students as they try and understand n app and what is doing to their peers.

There were some scenes that were a bit spicy, but i didn’t think there was too much or too little in that regard. I found the story to be a king ever so slightly, ad while i did enjoy it I just wished there were more information about the characters. Everything felt like it was given to me at face value. This is this character, this is this character, this one is sad, but. Couldn’t tell the connections or anything like that. I wished each part was a little bit longer, like adding backstories or making things just a bit harder to fix.

Overall i really enjoyed it, i just wish there were more of it.

Crave, beautifully illustrated by author Maria Llovet, is an erotic graphic novel that revolves around the titular app Crave. Very pointed social commentary about kids/young adults and technology. Crave, the app, allows people to pursue their cravings, and nothing is off-limits. The cynical among us will note that complete freedom to pursue our wants seldom ends well. The story moves quickly and the artwork does wonders with portraying the rise and fall of the app and the chaos caused by it.
Unfortunately, many public libraries in certain parts of the U.S. are likely to pass on adding it to their collections for fear of fauxrage by parts of their community.

I really loved this, Image NEVER fails to amaze me.
The art style was absolutely gorgeous…. thank you very much,

Crave - Maria Llovet 🔞

What if you had the ability to have your deepest, darkest desires be fulfilled through an app?

First of all thank you to @netgalley and @imagecomics for issues 1-6 of Crave!

Maria Llovet's Crave follows the journey and consequences of a university which has been plauged with an app that has the ability to grant you your deepest, darkest desires.

The comic series looks at how depravity can easily turn chaotic. It also begs the question of free will and responsibility. If you could have what ever you wanted at the press of the button, are the events that follow your fault?

The illustrations of the series are beautiful vibrant and really do draw you in. The series was fantastic and I'm exited to see where Llovet goes with it. Personally I would have liked some more character background information however, Crave definitely made me remember why I got into reading comic books in the first place.

🌟4.5/5

Absolutely devoured this comic, I read it all in one sitting! It was a fantastic blend of Nerve meets Black Mirror with a good spoonful of beautiful erotic artwork.

I would not recommend for those who don't like mature content, but I loved the style and the quick-paced movement of the story. Already 'Craving' more!

I really enjoyed this digital graphic novel series. I found the storyline to be compelling and I wanted to see what would happen next. There is a new app that is spreading around this college like wild fire. I tells you what your changes are of getting what ever your craving is fufilled.

Crave is a mildly erotic graphic novel that follows the members of a university campus, who discover an app called CRAVE, which can help them achieve the things they crave.
But something is wrong, and our main characters must find out how to stop it before it goes too far.

Crave has gorgeous illustrations and the storyline is inventive and interesting.
The storyline moved along well, without feeling rushed. It was easy to read and the illustrations really brought the story to life.

An erotic thriller graphic novel. While I did enjoy it, it was a lot. It was fast paced, almost to the point of feeling like I was missing things. The story was very plot driven. I personally would've liked getting to know the characters better. The art very much fit the story though. It was very well done. It's a pretty niche audience but a very cool book.

A very propulsive read, and also very steamy if you catch my drift. I liked the art style and I think the idea of an app like crave is terrifying. Thank you to NetGalley for the arc.

This one was… interesting? Very sex focused, kind of felt like what people think college is like. A bunch of horny young people that are constantly hooking up with each other and fighting over each other except with an AI driven twist.

the premise ended up being more interested than I thought with how short this graphic novel is and each of the characters felt very fleshed out, also the art style was cool and fit the tone perfectly

WOW. Out of all the graphic novels and comics I’ve read, this is my first time reading Maria Llovet and she did not disappoint with the story or the art style.
The premise is intriguing; a bunch of law students and an app that promises to help them find what they “crave.” Everyone loves the latest and greatest new app right? That is until it drags you into an obsessive dark hole.
Crave is definitely more smutty than I expected, but overall it’s a great commentary on the dangers of AI, new technology, social media, and how easily we get sucked into it.

Thanks always to Image Comics for letting creators bring stories like this to life.

Loved the illustrations. Read it in one sitting and will definitely keep and eye out for a sequel

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC of Crave! Finally got around to reading this, and it did not disappoint! I love the idea of playing a deadly game by using an app or some form of technology! Dope concept! I loved the art of this graphic novel-the attention to detail, the colors, loved it! I also really enjoyed the plot and the characters! Fun little read, and I can't wait to see what Maria Llovet creates next!

I felt like it jumped into the story really quick...not necessarily a bad thing (especially in the ways of comics), but figured I would learn a bit more about characters. Super fast read, but did not feel anything for the characters. Decent story - spot on with the description (Black Mirror meets Eyes Wide Shut). Thanks to NetGalley & the publisher for the ARC opportunity.
