Crave by Maria Llovet
4.0

Collects Crave #1-6 in a single book, a completed story written and illustrated by Maria Llovet.

A new app appears on everyone’s phones on campus, and it seems to give people what they crave - this being university, it’s a whole lot of sex and making out. Then the app gains control of elevators, and engages its users in collaborating to make more craves come true, and things spiral out of control.

The art and layout are engaging, each character (and background characters!) are unique and diverse. The story itself is fairly predictable but not tension and suspense.

As a social commentary it falls a little flat, but it does reinforce ‘honesty is the best policy.’

Recommended for mature readers (there is graphic sexual content & consensual bdsm-style posing, probably some dubcon) - and recommended for Twilight Zone/Outer Limits fans looking for dark “what if” style story about the control anonymous connections and social media have on our lives.

Thanks to NetGalley and Image Comics for the ARC!
