"TOO HIP FOR LOVE," Part One
The critically acclaimed, Harvey-nominated series continues with the launch of an epic new five-issue story arc: "TOO HIP FOR LOVE"!
Joan now understands the horror of her trap. Every time she falls in love, she disappears into another love story and starts again. However, a new boy introduces a new twist, and Joan discovers that what she thought was her life was just the entrance to a maze of madness.
Love Everlasting #6 is a striking pivot as it begins the books second arc, changing the rules of the story to deliver unexpected beats. Kings script manages to subvert expectations in a natural way that ensures the looping nature of the story doesnt wear on the audience. Charretier employs an oscillating level of detail to play on the action/inaction of the characters in this issue, depending on their role in the overarching formula of Joans love loops. Hollingsworth then taps into that subversion of the norm by constructing color thresholds that divide the expected from the unexpected. This issue alone may not win over new readers but is a great reinvention that combats any doubts existing readers may have about the structure of the series. Read Full Review
Charretier delivers beautifully stylish and wonderfully detailed art on every page of the issue. I love the visual style of this series and its classic look and feel. Read Full Review

I was really into this book when it started, but the first arc ending with so few answers left a bad taste in my mouth. This next arc offers some twists, but I really need it to divorce itself from the tropes of romance comics a bit more if I'm to stay invested.
