First, I'd like to send my thanks to NetGalley and Image Comics for giving me access to the eARC of Crave. What follows is my true and honest opinion.
Basic synopsis of my opinion: interesting but not my cup of tea.
I found it hard to really get invested, and the only reason it didn't get put on a DNF list was because it was an ARC and I'm stubborn.
I think the concept is interesting, with a mysterious app appearing on everyone's phone that can help you get what you 'crave'. The artsyle is interesting. But again not my favourite. It reminds me of hand drawn illustrations, however for the right story I can forgive. I think that this falls into the trap that a lot or erotica style comics can fall into, where the plot feels like a afterthought and character development is none existent. The only character I even remember the name of or like is Sofia Hunt. And I think that was because she was the only character that seemed to actually try to have a conversation. That and her hair. I liked her hair.
I think that for the right person, this book could be amazing. The art is good, even if it's not a artsyle I like. I personally, feel like it lacked substance. Which for some people that's fine, but for me, it felt bland.
