I am a Charlotte Tills stan. I love VE Schwab’s mind and the link of what a person is thinking about when they die becoming their power when they are an EO is genius.

To nie jest mój Eli i Victor…

the “new” characters in this spin off characters are essentially just the same characters from the original books. sorta disappointing

felix- victor (electric eo, collects strays, the hero villain)
marshall-mitch (the big burly tech man)
charlotte-sydney (small scared blonde kid)

The fact that eli is still alive physically pains me.

Lepiej, chociaż jak dla mnie fabuła jest trochę leniwa. Ale zobaczymy

[zainab · Rating 4 out of 5]

it was 30 pages, so it was a bit short. i liked the initial chapters in #0 (i was quite thrilled when reading), whereas here, i still enjoyed it but wish it went down differently.
as this is a comic, its rly cool to zoom into the drawings of the reflections of people and finding out how they will die. it takes me a few seconds to figure it out and it gives me a lot of shock (schwab is rly good at portraying death in her stories, and even here it felt morbidly fascinating.)
i wonder if charlotte telling people how they will die will change their fate.
looking forward to the rest of this series!

“I have a thing for strays.”

Okay, very Victor like.

Many of these characters resemble our favorites from Vicious, which may be the point, but I do wish they were a little more different.

I really love Charlotte’s character and her decisiveness. The design really fits her.

“No, I’m going to find him. And I’m going to kill him. Before he can kill me.”

3,5/5!

After her near death experience Charlotte has been able to see how people will die. She has also seen how she will die and who it is that kills her, and she is on a mission to get answers. When she finds out who it is that's after her, she sets out to save herself by killing him first.

I've been enjoying this comic so far. Charlotte's power is very horrifying and unsettling, and I love how the visual nature of comics aids in portraying this power and how scary it is. I'm also just intrigued to see what will happen between her and Eli Ever. This issue also introduced an interesting new character, Felix, whom I'm already quite fond of: I hope we'll get to see a lot more of them in future issues and learn more about their backstory!

I'm eagerly waiting for issue 3!

FIVE OUT OF FIVE
I WILL GIVE MORE IF I CAN

First of all, I almost didn't know that this was somehow continuation to the Vicious Series. I have also made my review here that you can read about this series.

I am so so IN LOVE with this series so obviously I was shocked to read this one. I dug into it without any expectation and may I tell you that it just exceeded whatever I had. Plus the cover was just too gorgeous.

And that ENDING. I NEED THE REST NOW OMG

The things are happening a little bit too fast but I'm really interested of what is going to happen

[Ve (ve_xo) · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great graphic novel! I love how Victor and Eli’s story is covered for a few pages. This one is filled with action and super powers, definitely great for lover of X-men!

[Kayla · Rating 4 out of 5]

Unfortunately I think the side characters in this series are better than the protagonist, but I'm going to keep reading!

Kocham serie złoczyńców więc podobało mi się ALE CZEMU BOHATEROWIE SĄ AŻ TAK PODOBNI DO TYCH Z VICIOUS???? A DO TEGO ZUPEŁNIE INACZEJ WYOBRAŻAŁAM SOBIE VICTORA

My review won't surprise anyone anymore. Can't wait for Victorious

[Claire Herrmann · Rating 4 out of 5]

that’s not what my man victor looks like 😭 but the guy with the blue hair was pretty cool

[maca · Rating 3 out of 5]

Honestly lm exited for the story of Charlotte I mean her powers are superrrr interesting but this part was to short for a book which I wouldn’t mind if it was important but not much happened in this one. I’m still gonna continue the series because I love the Idea and I think it has so much potential,
Also the art is amazing if it was only for the art I would give this 5 stars.

[Jacquie Stewart · Rating 5 out of 5]

Short

While the story and the art are great, the whole thing is crazy short. Unfortunately I was suckered into buying per episode and should have waited on the bind up

Like the other reviewers here, I must agree that this was a bit of a short plot. The actual build-up of conflict and the resolution of it was incredibly fast, too fast to be satisfyingly tense at all. However, the character development and actual prose are excellent. At first, I thought that another graphic novel about mutants would be lame and not offer anything new or exciting but I was quite wrong. The fact that the main character's only power is to see the deaths of others, while perhaps simplistic when compared to the powers of her peers (i.e invincibility, electricity, and electronic control), is a captivating way to bring notes of human nature into a sci-fi graphic novel. If I remember to do so when it comes out, I would love to read the next issue.

i really enjoyed getting to see more of this universe, but i wish we had gotten more new content in it than we did. i guess they were trying to make it a starting point for anyone, including people who haven't read the books, but the recap of book 1 took up a lot of page space that could've developed out charlotte, mia, marshall and felix more instead. especially since they ended up in such similar roles to victor, mitch and sydney. also, the art of Eli and Victor isn't how i pictured them at all, those are NOT my superpowered psychopaths.

the ending was certainly a fun twist, even if i don't think we've had any follow up to it yet.

My ratings of books on Goodreads are solely a crude ranking of their utility to me, and not an evaluation of literary merit, entertainment value, social importance, humor, insightfulness, scientific accuracy, creative vigor, suspensefulness of plot, depth of characters, vitality of theme, excitement of climax, satisfaction of ending, or any other combination of dimensions of value which we are expected to boil down through some fabulous alchemy into a single digit.

[Kiara · Rating 4 out of 5]

These just keep getting better

I've read about one other book by V.E. Schwab and I'm about to read the rest because one she knows how to write a story and its like coffee or tea ,I just want more and I'm going for it lol just not the caffeine to much is not good but I'm excited to read the rest of her works.

[Satrina T · Rating 4 out of 5]

Third issue of this story and now we get to where Charlie and Eli's paths will intersect.

Eli is imprisoned by EON but in her reflection, Charlie sees him as her cause of death so she decides to go looking for him but that might not be the best idea.

I'm getting worried because there are only two -very short- issues left and I don't see how this will come to an end.

[Levi Stephen · Rating 2 out of 5]

I got this from the library and did not realize it was a second part. It did not read like a second and felt like an intro to the Charlotte Tills character. As a stand-alone comic story I felt it was lacking some depth and had some holes, but I am not familiar with the Vicious or Vengeful books. So fans of that series and EO world would probably get more enjoyment out of this than I did.
