Love Everlasting gets a starred review from PW
King energizes the familiar romance genre with twists and turns that fuse each of Joan's trysts into an intricate puzzle. Suspecting sinister machinations behind this merry-go-round, Joan vows to hunt down the truth. Charretier's thick-line cartoony character design, reminiscent of Darwyn Cooke, perfectly depicts this genre crossover, and Matt Hollingsworth's colors capture the eeriness, avoiding primary colors with suitably subdued secondary palettes for each chapter.
