The Revivers may have a twistier origin than they originally thought. What the hell?!What do you mean, Anne?Sorry, random Goodreader, but I've already said too much.This volume is full of non-answering answers that just lead to more questions. And I mean that in a good way! And by that I mean, I still feel like the mysteries are very much alive and well, but I also feel like the author knows where this story is eventually going to end up, and not like I'm being taken for a ride by someone who's
I recently read this, the fourth collection of the Revival comic books and didn’t realize until I went to add it to Goodreads that I apparently never read the third collection.Opps.I don’t know what it says about the story that I had little difficulty in picking up the story line without having read the previous collection or what it says about my own shitty memory that I just accepted anything that didn’t quite make sense to me and chalked it up to that. For example I was quite confused about w...
Well first off I will say you need to read these books in pretty close run succession - or have a brilliant memory. Going back and reading the first two books (after being a fool and struggling with the 3rd) really does help with the depth of the story. So this story takes a slightly different turn (come one I will not give any spoilers but they title does sort of give it away) in that it appears that the fallout from Revival day and possibly the Revivers themselves have spread beyond the confin...
... I would love to own a punch buggy octopus!
This is one of those volumes that really set me back. I was so disappointed in what I read. There was very little that kept my attention, parts of it bringing back a lot of the confusion from previous issues. It wasn't all bad, there were parts that still added some kind of clarity... some kind. Because, when it felt like something was about to get resolved, another issue arose to confuse the reader even more.Sometimes, that can be a good thing. At other times, like in this issue, it can be all
FBI takes Dana to NY to search for a Reviver in New York. This was a nice story line with a good closure. Really Liked it.I have always loved comics, and I hope that I will always love them. Even though I grew up reading local Indian comics like Raj Comics or Diamond Comics or even Manoj Comics, now's the time to catch up on the international and classic comics and Graphic novels. I am on my quest to read as many comics as I can. I Love comics to bit, may comics never leave my side. I loved read...
I'm starting to wonder how long it will take to find out who murdered (view spoiler)[ Em (hide spoiler)]. It was also annoying that Dana started talking like she was on Fargo in this volume. I'm still interested in the series and will read the next, but this wasn't my favorite.
i am so glad this series is still going strong and still holding my interest. this is the first graphic novel series i have ever read; i usually prefer standalones, but this one is just so much fun, so thoughtfully written and it's such a unique spin on the zombie genre, i am thrilled to have gotten sucked in. and i am also very impressed with myself for showing uncharacteristic restraint by not running over to forbidden planet and buying all the individual issues as they came out, instead WAITI...
A Reviver has escaped to New York and the 1% are going to eat him alive...literally. Dana heads to the big city to track down the Reviver. Seeley brings in a new element into the mystery as something Native Americany seems to be involved. There's a couple of terrific moments for horror fans. And there's even a very good crossover issue with Chew as Tony Chu comes to Wisconsin. Four volumes in and this series is still fantastic.
Some good developments in here, and I'm glad to see the story going forward. Not a big fan of the NYC stuff, though. I guess taking a look at the outside world was necessary. There's a crossover with Chew at the end which was actually way better than I had thought it would be. I didn't expect the two worlds to blend together as well as they did.
Yeah this is where I drop the series (For the third and final time) The thing is I like the idea a lot. I like the art. It's got this cold and wicked mystery feeling going on. I hate everything else. Like how everyone talks SO much, or how each character seems to do something so stupid, or how each character is kind of a piece of shit, or how the mystery is 4 volumes now and nothing really solved. I just...find it boring. So yeah, can't get behind this anymore.
Things were moving at a rather slow pace in the first half of this volume as Dana was sent to New York to hunt down a supposedly escaped reviver. All of a sudden, it got really sick and twisted. Eww.That final splash page from issue 22 is gonna give me nightmares.More clues are thrown in about the mysterious reviver, John Doe. Yet, not much to indicate his overall involvement in all the mess.
No idea what the hell is going on, so damn creepy and this would make a hell of a tv-show! But it had to be made by HBO or something so it could maintain its adult material.
A lot happened in this volume and that ending! It was fun to see Dana in NYC and feeling a bit out of place. The glowing men are getting more interesting as we start to understand who and what they are. Apparently this was a crossover with something called Chew, which I will have to investigate.
This series continues to be really solid. There's not as much new stuff here, but there is a lot of progression. You see each of the characters learning more about whatever is going on in their little corner of the quarantine, and it's pretty interesting. Dana and Martha continue to shine. Dana is deep and has some truly wonderful character moments that come through with her travel to New York because of the narrative. It's the first time she's been away from her son and it's a nice emotional be...
I have no idea what's happening. In general, true, but also with this book. Some might see that as a bad thing, but I feel like I'm being immersed in a pool of "huh?", soon to be dunked in a warm bath of "Oh I see".
Gah! This one was pretty gross! There is also all kinds of weirdness going on, well, they all so far have weirdness going on. But this one is a wee bit crazier. LolI might add some pics later. I'm getting lazy on adding my graphic novel pictures. I wanted to get these read because I have the last one pre-ordered. I wonder what revelations will come out in that one. Anyway, Volume 5 is going to be another crazy one because of something that happened at the end of this one. I was like nooooooooooo...
One of the pro/cons with this series is how flawed all of the characters are. Sometimes, it makes them easier to connect with and at other times I'm annoyed. This is mostly with Em, but I think that part of it is because the artwork makes it hard to tell how old she is so I forget that she's supposed to be 19/20 rather than the same age as Dana?
While reading this volume I realized this is my favorite comic series I've ever read. I've really enjoyed some others,...Scalped, Locke & Key, Lazarus, Velvet,...but I think page for page this series right here outshines them all. The artwork is great & detailed without trying to do to much, the writing is top notch & imaginative but somehow stays realistic which is hard since the story is about people returning from death. The characters,...yeah i think the characters is what really gives this
Seems like every single 'answer' we get in this series just leads to even more questions but I think I've finally settled in to the point where I'm okay with that and I'm just going to go along with the ride and hope that it's all worth it at the end. Definitely feel like at this point the characters are the strong point for me, even the ones that aren't likable are at least interesting but my favorites are definitely Dana, Em, and Ibrahaim so I'm pretty much reading for them right now. Onto the...
