WTF?!

Victor LaValle once again left us with one of the most thought-provoking notes at the end of the comic. A true reflection of how we raise our children as a global community thinking we're shielding from the world's hardships/ills when we're doing a disservice to their upbringing.

Once again, amazing job on the covers by Ario Anindito and Pierluigi Cosolino including the variant covers by Dani Pandergast and Jahnoy Linday.
Love the illustrations by Jo Mi-Gyeong, the attention to detail especially with subtle things such as the kids' weapon tips and the kids' clothing —if I was a kid choosing my own fashion, yeah that's exactly what I would wear. Eve #3 has been the most colorful yet, Brittany Peer also has to be commended on her role in this comic series.

The lovely cliffhanger at the end is making me look forward to the next issue.

I'm still disappointed by the turn this story took. The first issue was so interesting and could have been geared to a slightly younger audience, but I think this is still only suitable for 16-18+ after all the zombie stuff.
This one has more grotesque images of zombies. One gets impaled by lots of weapons, covered all over with blood, and naked with the mc standing perfectly positioned in front covering him. We see a young girl transition into a zombie. And it's implied that the robot massacres a group of children.

I think this premise had potential, but it's getting pretty dark and unsettling for me.

CW:
-we see a young girl transition into a zombie
-the android goes on a killing spree killing children and is all bloodied
-naked zombie (privates covered) impaled with lots of spears

Cli-fi comic with sci-fi and horrror elements. Really gripping read.

Just go read it already. It is a bit dark but if you and your kids are into that this is for you.

Eve is a young girl who is the fate of the entire world. She was created just to restore the Earth and is doing everything she can to step up to the plate.
