EVERYTHING is a gleaming new mega-department store which arrives to extraordinary thrill-and rapidly escalates to inexplicable mania in the small town of Holland, Michigan.
When random hellish fires and unshakable psychic disturbances start to overtake the community, a few-like depressive out-of-towner Lori and a suspicious local named Rick-begin to suspect EVERYTHING and its catalog-perfect manger, Shirley.
Who-or what-exactly is in charge here . . . and what insidious plans are in store?
From Christopher Cantwell, acclaimed writer of She Could Fly and co-creator of AMC;s Halt and Catch Fire, and celebrated artist more
Everything is an incredibly interesting new book. An engaging mystery that's perfect for anyone looking for something a little strange and unsettling. Read Full Review
This is a story only Cantwell and I.N.J Culbard can tell, complete with a uniquely retro feel and intriguing commentary on values and capitalism. The story hits its stride after its first issues, raising interesting questions about where it (and all of us) go from here. Read Full Review
Everything is haunted, disturbing, confusing, compelling. It is the inkling of a bigger story that demands time and pause. It is By the Pricking of My Thumbs: The Floppy. The little details, the dreamy lapses into the supernatural, are best when you're savoring this story. Everything eschews the model of the serial in favor of mystique while still presenting a beguiling debut. Read Full Review
The first issue of Everything is gearing up to be a poignant statement of how easily need leads to despair complete with all too familiar townsfolk who can't help but be tragic figures. Read Full Review
There's not much in the way of progressing the story forward beyond getting that sensation across, but if it works on you you'll probably be looking out for the next issue. Though, if you've seen that one episode of South Park about the Wal-Mart, you probably already know where this is going. Read Full Review
provoking approach that respects readers' patience. Read Full Review
Everything #1 is full of bright artwork and disturbing elements hidden just beneath the surface - hinting at a darker truth waiting to be revealed. Read Full Review
When taken as a whole, Everything #1sets up its story with all the classic hallmarks of an eerie tale. From the quiet unsuspecting town to the weird outsider that has to be up to something, it feels like Everything #1 has a lot of potential. Especially if the creative team can establish their characters going forward as well as they have established their story's setting. Read Full Review
There's a lot going on in Everything #1, and we've just scratched the surface. The book has some momentum, as though all the different threads that have been started are already intertwined and are being pulled deeper into whatever is going on. It's not a bad way to kick things off, although there are moments that still feel a little confusing. Read Full Review
As a standalone issue, it's not that impressive. There's not much going on in it, honestly. I do, however, feel like the series will get better as the story moves forward. But that just makes me wonder one thing - why didn't they just do a graphic novel? Read Full Review
Love the unique pacing and the fantastic art on this. It's the right kind of confusing, where you want to find out more. And it does feel a lot like old school Vertigo, which gave a series the time to get going, instead of creating a sales pitch with the first issue.
Off to a good start even though this doesn't reveal much, let's see how it holds up in the next issue.
A series of largely disjointed and generally uninteresting scenes, with some not very impressive art. There is the hint that this has deeper depths - with shades of Ice Cream Man - and it may well be that this reads a lot better in trade, but as a single issue, and the opening one at that, this is deeply disappointing.
