General Impressions

Omg, omg, omg, I loved the movie so much that I was afraid of reading the comics but this was awesome!

I may be biased, but this book felt like a gift for the fans above all: little plot, just seeing the characters we know and love with their families and lovers through the centuries.

Each tale focus on a different character (including some I had never met before), so no matter who's your favourite, you'll see them and if there's someone you don't care as much about, this will give you a one on one chance to get to know them better.

The art was so beautiful, I loved seeing the hairstyles and clothes change across the centuries and how these characters referenced something that happened a millennium ago as if it was yesterday. At the same time, the fact that they forgot a lot also made them more human.

The biggest surprise for me was Andy and how much I loved this version of her. Don't get me wrong, I pray at the altar of Charlize Theron but I loved Andy's look so much more here, plus seeing her lovers and friends across the centuries.

Conclusion

This delivered everything I dreamed of and more, mixing the way these characters loved each other and the world with times and people that held no love for those that looked or were like them.

I want, no, I NEED more.

Thank you to Edelweiss and Image Comics for this DRC.
