Youthful, detailed drawings are highlighted by a color palate with backgrounds of greens. The emphasis on facial expressions and gestures help to create a deep emotional connection with the characters. As a whole, this is a beautiful issue that fully transported me into the story. Read Full Review
Eve is more than just a typical "save the planet" story. It is more about a little girl's courage and a love that endures even in simulation. Armed with the fake bear and a dinghy, her adventure starts. Read Full Review
With a final page thats sure to get readers excited about whats coming next, Eve #1 is the start of what looks to be an entirely different kind of environmental storytelling. Its characters are instantly likable and the setting carries enough visual flair to distinguish it from some of the other stories on the market. Eve is the type of comic you open a subscription box for. Read Full Review
"Eve" #1 is the best kind of first issue, building a mystery through subtle and evocative art but making you care about the character first and foremost. Read Full Review
I am very hooked onEve #1. It feels like both a stark vision of a possible near-future and a deep character piece in the making. I'm more than looking forward to the series and already hoping it lasts longer than it's initial 5-issue run. Read Full Review
EVE #1 delivers a brilliant setup for a voyage of courage, love, fear, and bravery into the unknown. Read Full Review
I liked the first issue of Eve, and I appreciate the general Afrofuturist vibes and the charm of the main character. I think there are a couple more anchoring details that I would have appreciated to fully vest me into the story, but given that this is a 5-issue mini-series, I'm willing to stick around and see the contextualization that the second issue will provide. Eve has a lovable protagonist in a prescient piece of work, and it's going to be an interesting venture for sure. Read Full Review
Eve #1 is an evocative and powerful beginning to Eve's story. It's so easy to picture her struggles and the world around her. The story and artwork resonate, bringing the story home in ways that cannot be ignored. Read Full Review
This book serves to warn the reader about climate issues through the eyes of a young protagonist who doesn't quite understand what is going on. Read Full Review
As the tail-end of the issue proclaims, Eve is going to be a story about the new generation saving the world from its climate crisis, and the way that message is packaged is off to a pretty awesome start. Read Full Review
Eve is an unapologetic warning about a possible future but is presented as a story full of hope and heart. While there are certainly some hitches to this first issue, our hero and her button-eyed companion make this a hero's journey worth checking out. Read Full Review
Must read
The art and concept are interesting but, with so many post apocalyptic stories (including those with a flooded Manhattan), there not quite enough here to stand out from the crowd.
