This graphic novel caught my attention at the perfect time as I just started watching The Walking Dead again.

This was very fast paced. I finished it within a few hours and probably would have finished it earlier without interruptions.

This was very clearly a coming of age story, with a twist. Not everyone needs to learn how to survive in a zombie apocalypse alongside of learning how to grow up and deal with loss and changes all at the same time.

At some points I did feel a little lost, I don't know if this was due to it not originally being in English (I saw this somewhere) or just the graphic novel format. I will admit that I don't read a lot of graphic novels, which may cause some of the confusion.

All in all, if you are looking for some quick, end of the world type material, this one is for you!

Thanks to the author and publisher for giving me a free copy in exchange for an honest review!

This one was quite confusing to be honest. The blurb sounded so good! I usually don't read books like this, but I decided to give it a try. Sadly, I didn't like this one. I was really confused most of the time. I did like the artwork though! Wouldn't recommend this one..

I was instantly drawn in by the beautiful art on the cover, and while it is gorgeous I wasn’t impressed with the story. Post apocalyptic stories and zombies feel very overdone now, and I don’t think this graphic novel added anything new to the genre. I did like the portrayal of PTSD, the characters felt underdeveloped, and I struggled to follow the story at times.

Maybe it wasn’t for me.

I thought the artwork in EVER AFTER was incredibly beautiful, but the plot and characters felt very underdeveloped.

3 stars

I am not really a apocalyptic fan with all those zombies it is just not my vibe.

I love the illustration and the work of the artist especially but there was too much of gore for me and I think for those people who like the drama of zombies would like this book.

It is about two girls named vivi and Eva who were leaving the city and they were running away from the zombies cause it was too hectic and when they bite u become one. The typical zombie vibes....

The ARC for this novel was provided by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

In this graphic novel we focus on a post-apocalyptic world where only few cities have been able to stay on their feet. Vivi, the protagonist, is a girl with serious mental problems who fights guilt for the loss of her sister. She lives in the psychiatric hospital, and has finally had the opportunity to do a little work in the city, that's where she meets Eva, a lonely and mysterious girl with whom she will embark on a dangerous adventure.

To be honest, I didn't understand much of the story.
The illustrations are beautiful, I loved them! And actually, that's why I chose to read this book, but while the colors and illustrations were really beautiful, the story made no sense to me.

It is not only that some parts seemed to be cut, I don't understand if it is on purpose or was a mistake, but in some parts it seems that the scenes are cut abruptly when something interesting is starting.
There's also the fact that much of what they showed us is confusing. In some parts I did not know if what was happening was a dream or something real, but I want to think that in those parts the author wanted to show what Vivi's life was like and how it is to see it through her eyes.

On the other hand, the dark side of the story was extremely intriguing and that is what kept me awake wanting to continue with the story.
For people who love bloody, tragic, and zombie stories, this might be one of their next readings, but for me there were many plot holes that made me disappointed.
Of course, I want to emphasize the precious illustrations, I loved them ~.

I received an eARC through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Raw, grim and dark.

This is a fantastic zombie horror graphic novel, that twists and turns through the perspective of a mentally ill girl stuck in the apocalypse. Fast paced and disturbing, a real page turner.

This was a very... interesting book. The story it told was not at all what I expected, but it was done in such a unique and intriguing way. The illustration of the characters and their world is done in such a way that you are drawn in, and desire to know more about them and how the world they live in came to be that way. I do recommend this to anyone that wants to read a very spooky, off-beat kind of tale.

Thanks NetGalley and the publisher for the digital copy of the book for honest review.
The story is about two girls teamimg up for survival in a post apocalyptic premise filled with the undead. Things like friendship, dealing with grief and becoming self sufficient are meticulously presented in this story. The illustrations are vibrant and catchy. The characters are interesting. I enjoyed this graphic novel.

Thank you so much to net galley for sending me a copy of this book. I was really expecting to enjoy this book and I ended up loving it. I would recommend this book.

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.

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.
