It came from Hollywood! Elvira has discovered her co-star's monstrous secret, and she's not the only one. Things get out of hand on the set of "The Heart is a Black Lagoon," as murder, mystery and interspecies romance all come to a boil in the penultimate issue of THE SHAPE OF ELVIRA!
I loved a lot of the fish puns at the start of the book where Elvira is talking to the two Government Agents from The U.S. Department for Fish and Wildlife. I also loved the dialogue exchanged between Elvira and Gil and have to give Letterer Taylor Esposito credit for some nice work for his part in creating Gil's unique voice. Read Full Review
With a few different Elvira books out there these days, Shape of Elvira is the one that plays to the moviemaking side in all the right ways. That part of how the industry was looked at was part of Elvira's charm during her original run and playing to that here clicks very well. This issue is the big expositional piece where we get the reveals and set the stage for what's to come and it accomplishes all of that well. But it also has a blast with its humor and winks to the audience in how it handles everything, from some blunt snark to a few more risque things that just delight. The book reads well, looks good, and provides for a very fun experience overall. I'm looking forward to the rest of it. Read Full Review
All of the elements of an entertaining Elvira book are present, yet nothing has allowed it to rise above mediocrity. Read Full Review
