*My Thoughts*
Note: This review contains NO spoilers
Everlast shares my complete view point of the world at its worst or deteriorating state. There’s a rotting world filled with horrible people and there’s something that picks and chooses who is worth saving and who dies at the “End of Days.” While this is true, the story didn’t leave a lasting impression in or on me. It was far too “point blank” and held very little mystery or allure that kept me wondering about what happens next. Earth is becoming a hell hole, we have our main character (Derek Everlast), his allies/enemies, Haven is literally a paradise, and there are one hundred and forty-four thousand people that are worthy of being saved, all of this revealed in this first book. If the story is continuously told in this fashion, Everlast could easily be done in 3, maximum 4, books. The artwork is done well to convey what the story required but not quite interesting, it’s cliché as it mainly has wicked monsters, physical attractive characters, and plainly set moods to each panel. It shows exactly what’s there and leaves little for the imagination.
My rating:
