Elfquest #15
Forevergreen
Something is calling, calling...
For untold turns of the seasons Dart and his plucky band of "jack-wolf" riders have called Sorrow's End their home. Neither harsh nature nor marauding invaders have made them wish to leave.
But now comes a seductive psychic call, heard by mystical Suntop, Cutter's son. The vision promisies a lush and verdant place of safety - the Forevergreen. As the Sun Village's protector, Dart determines to explore this potential new sanctuary.
Only two questions remain: Exactly who has sent the siren call? And will the elves survive the journey to this new and unknown land?

This was part of the New Blood series that I have been slogging through on ElfQuest.com. I probably am not the one to be giving this review, as I am quite biased in my love of the Pini's saga and I definitely prefer Wendy's artwork. I read this mainly to be able to keep up with references to past events in the newest series. Quite frankly, I was happy to get through it and have it done with.

Read for my Great Elfquest Read of 2025. I own a lot of these single issues but I'm reading them on Elfquest.com. I can't actually recall if I read the whole storyline before.
Yeaaaaaaaah..... the art in New Blood has been pretty off-putting so far, and the Forevergreen arc is no exception. We get some info on what happened at Sorrow's End while the Wolfriders were sleeping, and it is crazy. A volcano, Go-Backs attacking, and Dart randomly Recognizes and has a kid?? Also, it was jarring to see elf kill elf on such a large scale since it was such a major deal when Strongbow killed one glider.
Once they reach the Forevergreen itself, the story isn't THAT bad, but the artwork seems to be all about pouty lips, cleavage and showing as much skin as possible. And I don't think that part is going to get any better.

The story is interesting, as to be expected, but the art is all wonky and often goofy. I hate giving anything Elfquest less than 5 stars, but - yikes!
