  • We've got another entry in the Villains universe and I loved it!! I'm a big fan of Vicious/Vengeful, so I was excited to see a graphic novel set in the same universe. The story follows a teen girl named Charlotte Tills who survives a bush crash and becomes an EO in the process. With her new powers awakened she soon finds herself on the run, as organisations like EON hunt people like her and others like Eli also mean to get rid of her kind. It was interesting to follow a different EO, as we're used to seeing Victor's perspective.
  • Charlotte's power is seeing her and other's deaths in any reflection, a disturbing power, as it means she can see the cause of her own death - in this case: Eli Ever who's still hunting EOs. It was easy to sympathize with her, as she's still so young, but already cannot trust anyone, as spies lurk everywhere. I really liked seeing some new EOs and I'd love to read more of Charlotte's story! My edition had a 'To Be Continued' in the end, but I sadly haven't seen any announcement of a continuation 🥺

This is SUCH A COOL GRAPHIC NOVEL! I love seeing the Villains world come to life, and the mini recap of Eli and Victor’s story before introducing the new plot was really awesome. I really hope there’s more of this coming in the future. 

The art style is also freaking sick, it has great atmosphere and attention to detail.  I’m not *crazy* about the designs for Eli and Victor, but that’s probably a me problem and doesn’t reflect on the overall artwork.

The story is fun and quick if you're a fan of the original material but I have to say the art is a big meh. I was hoping they'd go for a style more similar to that of the cover (I have the illumicrate version) but instead it looks like a generic marvel comic with out of whack anatomy and everyone looking 45 and older. 

The introduction of new powers is cool though.
