Username: Evie by Joe Sugg

3.0

---

The idea is very original, and the artwork pretty good (and, in my opinion, in some places incredible), but the dialogue definitely needed work; it was bit cringe in places, though I did laugh somewhere in there too. There were a few plot-holes which needed teasing out, and the use of modern phone texting in places made the narrative feel a bit disjointed. The very beginning wasn't great or very gripping; there is a scene with Evie using her phone to dispel the zombie-like citizens which is never elaborated further in the narrative or even referred back to. I sort-of loved Unity for some reason, even though their role seemed to be just to give advice and stand around. I'd have loved for them to be more involved somehow in the plot. Super that there's a main female heroine, even if she's pretty plain and Mary-Sue-ish, and hides in a fridge when feeling overwhelmed (an unexplained plot point?) Definitely not a terrible first attempt at a graphic novel; I enjoyed it! There were just quite a few points which really needed teasing out, as well as a need for slightly more character development and better dialogue. The artwork was pretty stunning in places though.
