The writing is clever and builds tension throughout, while the art is impeccable in its blend of colors, linework, and style, covering settings from World War I era France to the Old West in America well. Rich themes and deep questions underpin Joan's adventures, as about the true nature of love, the need for it, and the desire for independence and self-realization...Love Everlasting Volume 1 is a fascinating romantic horror story about a woman who shifts between lives.\" --\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Elsa and Tom are two of the very most talented creators giving their energy to sequential art, seeing them reinvent the romance genre is bold, inspiring, and a total must read.\" --\u003cb\u003eRick Remender\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDeadly Class, The Scumbag\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"\u003ci\u003eLove Everlasting\u003c\/i\u003e is a perfectly crafted mystery from the brilliant mind of Tom King, like an everlasting episode of \u003ci\u003eThe Twilight Zone\u003c\/i\u003e where Elsa Charretier shows us all she can draw EVERYTHING and she does it with apparent ease.
