Ever After begins with mystery that peaks the curiosity, then slowly lets you down. It's simply the story of a bad zombie movie. The graphics and illustrations were great. Unfortunately, the graphics can't compensate for the story. I would not recommend this book.

I received an electronic ARC from Lerner Publishing Group through NetGalley.
The artwork is captivating. I wish the story lived up to it. The two main characters Vivi and Eva survived the zombie apocalypse but are both carry emotional scars. Each is slowly turning into a different type of being as the story progresses. The storyline is extremely disjointed and neither character's development advances much. Vieweg presents little depth of plot nor setting beyond the artwork.

• EVER AFTER
This comic gripped me from start.
The start in the mental hospital wing, a pretty obsessive caretaker, awkwardness of Vivi, sudden appearance of mental patients and the mention of people needed for work had me hooked.
Then after some pages new gripping characters, fast paced incidents and then the zombie portion hit me hard. Before even getting out of it suddenly a death of a character in brutal way.
Honestly even though the comic book is of 300 pages it totally disnt felt like that.
It was very fast paced. The incidents the surviving everything was really well put together and the characters were drawn in very relative ways.
Eva was also avery badass strong character whom I admire and love. She is trying survive even though she know theres no way for her to be alive soon and Vivi is finding her own way to happiness to feel contained to feel that she belong somewhere
For a fast paced 2 hour read I would suggest everyone to pick up this book

Graphic novel about the zombie Apocalypse, great illustrations and loved the premise. Was a little confusing in places and wasn’t really able to follow at times. Overall an enjoyable graphic novel

Loved loved loved this. Adding it to my favourites list for zombie graphic novels. Hoping there's a continuation of the storyline. Well done imagery as well with illustrations.

EverAfter by Olivia Vieweg is a horror graphic novel which talks about two girls Vivi and Eva who travel to the countryside. Their train breaks down and they end up in a strange land. Vivi is grieving her sisters loss.

The cover is absolutely stunning. The artwork inside the book is also beautiful. But the story is hard to follow through. I guess maybe it's because the story is translated from German language.

It follows a zombie apocalypse, and I did not find it very horrific to be honest. The world author was trying to build up couldn't come through. We could only see these two girls, but what about the surrounding and other people?

Talking about the character, both of them are going through a lot at once so it's difficult to follow up with what exactly is going on in the story. The colour palette of the graphics are pretty good. But overall, the book did not feel good and the ending was very abrupt.

Thank You to the Publisher and NetGalley for this e-copy in exchange of a honest review.

This book is haunting. The characters are intriguing with so much of their stories hinted at but still left unsaid. They each deal with their trauma after surviving an apocalypse in different ways. They strive to live in an unthinkable reality and yet see themselves as terrible people for what they have done to survive. This is a dark story but not without hope. I would love to see more stories in this world created by Olivia Vieweg.

Not for young readers. This book has strong horror elements and an attempted suicide. Beyond that this dark tale is worth picking up.

Thanks to Netgalley and Lerner Publishing Group for a chance to read this early in exchange for my honest review.

My goodness, what a story! The artstyle was so different to the story it was narrating, and I think it made it all the more eerie because of it! A pinkhaired girl on a post apocalyptic journey from one city to another..... It was breathtaking. I enjoyed this so much. I don't usually read zombie related material, but this was a welcome read, and I would happily read this again!

I think the book as missing too many information for me to really enjoy it (about the origin of the apocalypse and zombies but also about Jena and the creation of the cities). This book would have been better as a second installment than as a first.
However it stays a quick reading and the drawing is good.

This book is unrelentingly dark. It’s engrossing, but it’s definitely not a happy uplifting tale. I really enjoyed the art and felt like it was a unique take on the zombie apocalypse. The story had a very human element to it. Overall, I’d recommend it,

This book reminded me so much of The Walking Dead. It was really good, but during the first quarter of the story I was confused. When I finally caught on I was completely invested. The two main characters were perfect for each other, and while the ending was sad, it was also very satisfying.

the artwork is pretty, the story is cool but kinda disturbing.
it really creeped me out, not really for the zombies, but for all the little things they found along the way.

This was a super cute level of creepy, following two girls living in the aftermath of the zombie apocalypse, fighting their demons, past regrets, and y'know... zombies. Along the way, we get some very nice character development (nothing too deep or shocking, but satisfying) and some absolutely gorgeous landscapes. Wish there was more!

I would like to thank you for the eARC of this book which was kindly provided by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This graphic novel is a story about Vivi and Eva their run from zombies and exploration of their internal struggles.  I have really liked how it started, but the second half of the book was just so confusing. The artwork is really beautiful and colourful. However, this story lacks depth and basic explanation about what happened before.

BOOK REVIEW

Thank you so much to NetGalley and the Publisher for an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

As a big fan of Graphic Novels, particularly in the Horror genre, I was excited to pick this one up. Here we have a post-apocalyptic Zombie horror tale, and as such it delivers the shocks and scares you would expect. It also has a couple of nice twists on the typical tropes that make it stand out from the crowd, and the art is compelling and fitting for the genre.

I would suggest that the cover art is misleading, as it evokes a more whimsical story than you are getting, and the artwork is far less clean-lined inside than it is on the cover. Don't be fooled folks.

This is a quick read that I devoured in a single sitting, but that's not to say it doesn't have its issues. There are a few delicate-subjects that I think it handles fairly well, but the plotting and pacing is uneven and feels disjointed at times. The parts of the story that are fleshed out properly do read well, but there are too many sections that are simply glossed over which can make it difficult to keep track of what's happening, and several times I had to check back to make sure I hadn't missed something.

Overall I enjoyed the characters more than the plot, and I feel it would have benefited from being longer to allow for the sub-plots to be fleshed out properly. 2.5 stars from me.

4/5 ⭐️
So this was pretty good, the colors worked really well together. The plot hit a bit to close to home for the moment, but anything with zombies is good.

Thank you to NetGalley for the arc of this graphic novel! This was a quick, although dark read. I really enjoyed the art style and adventure aspect, as well as the apocalyptic setting. However this graphic novel lacked in plot and the characters didn't seem to have much chemistry, which is a big turn off for me. I went into this read really excited but sadly felt a little let down after finishing reading it. Overall this was an enjoyable read but it felt like there have been more to it.

1.5/5 stars.

t/w: attempted suicide

I really don't know how to describe this graphic novel.
For those fans of zombie apocalypses and stuff like that, this may seem like something suitable for them to read.
On this stort we follow the path of Vivi, a little girl living on a post apocalyptic world where people are turn into zombies and, the ones that remain human, are living on, kind of, a psychiatric (but in a really dark and bloody one...).
This story was definitely not for me, sorry.
What really hit me the most was that Vivi was suffering, mostly at the end of the story, hallucinations of her dead friends and, also, other zombies, which leads me to think that this may try to portray a severe mental illness, although unsuccesfully, I must say...
Also, I'm probably going to have serious nightmares tonight due to this...

This type of art style i really enjoyed to read, but i think what sold me to this was the friendship and the mystery of Vivi. I really liked reading this and some of the gore that came with attacking the zombies was pretty awesome.

This graphic novel reminded me a lot about Wilder girls by Rory Power the plants and the zombie stuff was kinda similar. Well the backstory wasn't very well developed so that was a bit of a let down, the illustrations were decent and good. The actual facts of the past and the future of the leads were really interesting and strong, the characters were minimal and the story was mysterious at first but then it lost the mysterious vibe and started on the note of more confusion. The colours and theories of post apocalyptic situation were good and I hoped that there were a few more pages of clarification in this book. On the whole it was okay for me.
