Catch Eve #1 Curated By Victor LaValle Presented As File

first issue in his Eve series sets up the title character whose companion it appears is going to be a robot teddy bear who may have some issues.
It seems she is going to be something like Johnny Appleseed, but with shoes,

It is a strange issues that does deal with hopelessness and hope all at the same time, The artwork is stunning, and Eve herself is interesting and plucky enough, Wexler too is good because as a teddy bear he could come across as too cute or too evil but LaValle has him come across as slightly world weary and bit a jaded.
Which is neat. Fantastic start to a series loved the adventure and twists, the sci fi moments and the way it all wrapped up, Phenomenal illustrations and storytelling. I'm new to graphic novels so this won't be the best or most detailed review, but I have been wanting to try one to see if I might like them.
Since this was available as a Hoopla Bonus Borrow for February I thought I'd give it a go, I only borrowed the first issue, so I haven't finished the story yet, I don't know how many others follow this one, but I can tell I've only just scratched the surface of the story and this world of the likely notsodistant future.


I won't spoil anything except to say that Eve's world isn't all that it appears to be, An android stuffed bear makes an appearance, we learn a little about Eve's family and past, and we see an all too familiar world made starkly unfamiliar by the choices and actions of mankind.
We leave Eve to prepare, both mentally and physically, for a dangerous

adventure into a recognizable yet unknown world,

Again, I've never read a graphic novel so I'm not going to be able to give the artwork the credit it deserves.
I don't have much in my mind to compare it to, but I will say that I love the colors the artist chose for the different scenes shades of blue and black for the fearful unknown, a transition to lighter shades of pinks and greens for a tentative hope.
The landscapes, while unsettling in nature, are also beautiful to look at,

The bit from the author at the end is worth the read and shouldn't be skipped, in my opinion, I can't remember the last time I read an author's note with so much feeling attached to it, I look forward to learning more from the writers he recommends, including his wife, as well as from Eve herself in Issue, Picked this up because I needed to fulfill the Popsugar Reading Challenge prompt of "read a book with a palindromic title" and this got recommended in the forum a couple of times.
I love a good middle grade, I love a good dystopian scifi, I love a good comic book, And this combined all three, The artwork was amazing and I loved the vibrant and detailed images, I also loved Eve as a character, She's tough, strongminded, and suuuuuch a little rockstar, We love to see it, The story itself was ok and that's why it's gettingfrom me, I know it's middle grade and a comic, but I definitely expected there to be a bit more backstory and for the whole concept to be more fleshed out.
I'm sure I'll get more answers as I continue in the series, but it would have been nice to understand what's even going on a little more.
I still really enjoyed it and I'm definitely going to continue with the series, If I'm understanding correctly, there are only five issues in total so not a ginormous commitment, which I love! Hoopla has issues, I hope they getin soon so I can complete it all and know what's happening!

Overall, a great read! One I definitely recommend.
Loved this. Glad I found a variant cover, Can't wait to read them all, Great Comic

I like how this addresses climate change and that the main character is a black girl, Its so important to be able to see yourself as a character especially in comics,
Im going to read the second issue before I determine to stop the series completely, The cover is what drew me in, . Un libro con un palíndromo como título, Why are comics so short like this Climate change apocalyptic book with a cyborg and matrixesque beginning, Perfect! I am loving how this is all unfolding, It is quite dark so not for younger people unless that is their thing, I need to know all the details, This is a apocalyptic climate change comic and I definitely was engaged with this short story, The artwork was stunning! Awesome start to a series, I love the concept of the story and the android teddy bear, The trade paperback isn't listed on here yet, but this mini series ofissues really packed a lot, I think it could've done with another issue or two to allow LaValle to go more in depth with his world building, but otherwise this was a unique take on a dystopian future.
Eve is a great protagonist, and the artwork was wonderful and supported the writing very well,.Czy ja znowu najpierw zaczęłam kontynuację, zamiast oryginalną historię NO ŻESZ, ŻE TAK,
Dlatego teraz czytam te, żeby to miało w mojej głowie ręce i nogi :D This was a great first issue! I love Eve and her android and I'm excited to see where the story goes next.
Now that's how you do a first issue, I'm completely engaged. Can't wait to read this in trade now, It's about anyear old girl in a flooded world who has to save her father and maybe the world, Along with her is an android teddy bear, Terrific! Within thestpages I was like omg what haha love that in comics! The art in this is perfect, It has the perfect feel of a bleak but hopeful world, The writing is good and I'm intrigued by the story, Part of me is like, yes, another dystopian young girl has to save the world "alone" book, But well it's a genre that works, And this one does stand out, The way the girl comes into this world is very interesting and I'm still not entirely sure what happened, But I'm definitely reaching to read more, The teddy bear is an interesting touch too, Eve is anyear old girl who is awaken from a hypersleep like state and is given the task of saving the world from the aftermath of an environmental disaster.
Her only companion is a android teddy bear named Wexler,

The first issue was lovely, LaValle is well regarded in the sciif/horror space, Its deserved. Hes good. The script is full but not bloated, And for a story dealing with the heavy subject of climate change, it sparkles with hope and humor,

The artwork is dazzling, Clean, detailed images with beautiful, rich colors, Its gorgeous. And if you can any of the variant covers, consider yourself lucky, I love this climate change graphic novel adventure,

Eve, eleven, who wakes to find herself in a dystopian America embarks on a quest to find her father,

The combination of colours and vibrancy of the art style perfectly depict both the sad state of the world, and Eves hope at the start of her journey.
Nice artwork, bad story Beautifully written story by sitelinkVictor LaValle, I loved reading what inspired him to write this fiveissue series, I love stories featuring young, black people and a teddy bear, who doesn't like a teddy bear

I'll be rooting for Eve all the way.
I can't wait to read the rest of the series,
