    We Live #1 is the best debut I've read this year. I can find no faults and it had me bawling. It's an entertaining story, an engrossing world, and full of emotions. This is a comic that should be on everyone's pull list. Read Full Review

    The Fandom Post - Chris Beveridge Oct 14, 2020

    We Live is just at the starting gate here and it doesn't advance far in its opening issue. Which I'm grateful for as I can see how they might want to rush to get to some of the “better” parts of the journey. But by taking the time they do here, we get a good introduction to a number of characters without feeling rushed and we get to immerse ourselves into this world slowly and understand it at a better pace than a fast rush – even with the info dump we get at the start that covers a lot of the basics. The big picture is intriguing and I'm really curious to see just how far this series intends to go. Inaki's artwork is always great and that's no exception here, especially with a striking color design, and the story concept and characters have me really interested in seeing more of it unfold and what the bigger plans are.

    Another impressive offering from AfterShock Comics then, with strong character motivations and an intriguing premise ensuring that readers picking up this first issue will be absolutely hooked from the outset. Taking a look at the end of the world through the innocent eyes of a child, We Live provides a fresh take on the post-apocalyptic genre, and as such is an easy series to recommend. Read Full Review
