"NOTHING LEFT BUT LOVE"
France, 1915. War wages. Joan sings at a club near the front, watching soldiers march to the trenches. Some return, most don't. One of them falls in love. To save him from hs inevitable fate, Joan discovers how the trap of love can be turned into an opportunity for power.
Love Everlasting #4 is the best issue yet of the series, which speaks to the high quality of the series as a whole. Much of that praise is thanks to both Kings script and Charretiers art, which play in realms theyre both familiar with, but make subtle changes, ensuring that the story and craft on display feel new and experimental. Adding Hollingsworths excellent colors that reinforce the emotional core of the issue, the inherent tragedy of love during wartime, and the respites from that crushing reality in the form of Claytons lettering, its impossible not to be affected by the issue. With craft at this level, its insane to think people arent picking up the series, and should go to the top of every pull list. Read Full Review
Charretier delivers some awesome art throughout the issue. The visuals perfectly capture the mood, tone and atmosphere of the story and the time it takes place in. Read Full Review
In a series that parodies and lampoons, we still get issues like this that are unapologetically beautiful and raw. Read Full Review
Without Charretier's distinctive depictions of such rich emotions and specific settings, there wouldn't be much to follow in these pages. Read Full Review
I was not expecting this series to deal with the issues of loss and war. A great issue.
If you are going to set a WW1 story behind the lines in 1915, then at least do some research. I assume the absurdly multiracial group visiting the cafe were British. I can assure you that they would all have names such as Tom, Dick, Bert and Harry. Certainly not "Dane" or the other ridiculous names mentioned. It is about time the story went somewhere as it is beginning to drag.
The artwork continues to impress.
