Original style
Bewertet mit 4 Sternen
The illustrations are wonderfully composed with lots of vivid colours - as opposed to the washed-out, dark, grayish brown style often used with that genre. The zombies are present but not overly so, and even they show a certain kind of beauty, especially when Eva starts showing signs of her infection literally growing over her body. Vivi is struggling with the loss of her sister which she feels guilty of. Together, the two girls travel through the country, and on their way not only become friends, but each of them also reluctantly comes to terms with her individual fate. This graphic novel is about the living rather than the living dead, and despite the grim premise, the colorful artwork made it hard to not remain hopeful for the outcome. A wonderful and original interpretation of and addition to the zombie genre.
