This is a book that feels like its going to quickly escape the orbit of the romance genre and move into something more sinister and cosmic, whether that be in a philosophical, literal, or technical way is yet to be seen. Fans of works that transcend genre and twist their form will love this issue, and with an issue this strong, it's hard not to sign up for the Everlasting Productions newsletter for more of the story immediately.

Now that the initial premise is delivered, the challenge will lie in keeping everything interesting. The progression through the first three stories of the series is enjoyable enough. King has given the series an intriguing momentum, but it will be difficult to keep it engaging with Joan fully aware of whats going on. She doesnt know WHY its going on, though...which will likely be the mystery moving forward. The success of the series is going to rely on what King does with the central mystery of the premise.

Love Everlasting #1 is a very good comic, a cheeky and experimental riff on vintage romance comics that engages readers who study and love the mediums traditions and past. Read Full Review

Elsa Charretier delivers some beautifully drawn art that has a wonderful classic style reminiscent of the romance comics of the 50s and 60s. The art brilliantly draws in the reader and transports you to a place of both beauty and mystery. Read Full Review

Overall, Lover Everlasting is a phenomenal first issue but with some flaws. One of them is how expressive the art is but constrained by the repetitive panel layout on each page. Beyond that, the issue establishes the main character, conflict, and theme from the start. With the conflict set, King and Charretier can explore multiple stories while allowing Joan to figure out what is happening to her.  Read Full Review

Love Everlasting #1 is an intriguing debut. It both feels like an homage and a slight twist to the romance comic genre. There's a lot of details that were clearly added to make sure the comic nailed the style but at the same time, it all feels updated and fits modern comics. It's an intriguing start to the series that has a lot of potential for what's to come. Read Full Review

I read the issue twice in an attempt to understand what Tom King was trying to accomplish here.  At first, I thought he was parodying the old romance comics of the 50s and 60s, but theres more to the book than that.  I feel ultimately its going to turn into a Twin Peaks type story that may always be as bizarre and puzzling as this first issue.  Time will tell.

Intriguing and clever but too vague for its own good Read Full Review

Beautiful comic. Which is FREE. The powerhouse team of Tom King and Elsa Charretier achieved perfection with this opening issue. That is FREE. I mean the story is so damn intriguing, the art is gorgeous and everything together just achieves the perfect set-up, tone, and leaves you in awe. And did I mentioned that despite being an incredible romantic, misterious and thrillering comicbook, it is also godamn FREE? Like once a month, BAMS! free comic. So yeah, perfect comic AND free. Go. Read. Now.

Loved it.

Tom King is just full of surprises isn't he?!

A very unusual and stylish comic. And the art was great.

Lovely read, I absolutely adore this trippy premise that's perfectly contrasted with Silver Age-style dialogue and art. Makes for a truly unique book on the shelves.

idk how, but Tom King's work recently has been growing on me. I actually do like this issue and cant wait to see whats going to happen next.
