Evenfall Volume 1: Lay Me Down

Here it is, the first four issues of this series all in one tidy package! I complained in one of the reviews about the self-censorship and how that sort of thing always gets on my nerves. Well, this time around there are “fucks” a’plenty, so either he listened to me or (more likely) it’s just some bizarre policy on the part of Slave Labor that you can’t use the foul language in comics, but you can in graphic novels. Who knows? Better yet, who really cares, besides me? I already reviewed #3 and #4, so just check up there if you’re curious about them. The first two issues do wonders in setting up the whole story and the character of Phoebe, and the story flows smoothly from beginning to end. Not much to complain about here, really, other than the fact that I noticed while reading them all in a row that all of the issues have a similar ending: heroine in peril. Well, three out of four anyway, but that’s a tiny, tiny thing to bitch about, as Pete’s probably just setting up the world and the problems she’s going to have to face in the future. Still, the ending for the whole book is just mean, in terms of cliffhangers. Check this out, the art is scrunched down just a bit from comic size (but nothing too obnoxious) so that it’s in a more affordable $9.95 price range. As for the series, it better still be going at a good pace, because I want to see what happens next…
