Hey all, Elsa here. As promised, it’s time for comics, and more specifically, for Love Everlasting #1! We’ve all been hard at work on this for the past few months and it’s incredibly exciting to finally have it out. I’ve been dying to talk about it, I almost spilled the beans half a dozen times. It’s a work of passion from Tom, outstanding colorist Matt Hollingsworth, amazingly creative letterer Clayton Cowles, and me, and we all hope you’ll share our love for it.
This was great! Elsa, your art wonderfully echoes vintage romance comics while complementing Tom's script. (I'm a subscriber, so I'm allowed to use your first names - right? HAH!)
And though I sometimes feel there's too much gratuitous swearing in comics, the f-bomb at the end was perfect.
The next chapter can't get here soon enough! But I have to ask: This series is billed as "ongoing," but it sure seems like there has to be an endgame at some point. Is this going to be a 12-part serial, at which Tom is the king? (sorry)
I love the rule-of-three joke construction across these stories, with two conflict-free deus-ex-machina endings, followed by an absolute punch of a reversal in the third, and a final sting at the end. I'm so excited to see where this goes. The more I think about the details, the more elegant the whole thing feels. Can't wait for more.
Beautiful artwork! I hope we'll get some more recurring characters besides Joan, though - King's ability to draw out connections between characters is my favorite thing about his writing (well, also his structures and the poetic nature of his scripting). It reminds me a lot of the Doc Shaner sections of Strange Adventures - being a pretty straightforward pastiche of a past genre. I very much hope to see something along the lines of Omega Men's Kyle's journey of faith, Vision's journey of love with his family, Batman and Catwoman's journey towards each other, and Christopher Chance's journey to death...maybe ;).
Wow! What a great start. A little bit Quantum Leap, a little bit Ordinary Joe and a whole lot of fun. I am not sure where we go next but this looks to be a heck of a ride!

That was great! The wife and I read this together tonight. Our favorites were that last panel at the bottom of the Kit story with the shot of her eyes and the first unfinished art style and then the ah fuck at the end. Looking forward to issue #2. 😍
So great. The genre was dying to come back and this is such the way to do it. (why doesn't anybody talk about the teen romance in Alan Moore's Swamp Thing? I can't tell if it's for real or for fun.). That said... for the love of god, would you PLEASE do some t-shirts? It's been a whole day! Why do I have to wait so long!?
I've tried to get my girlfriend to read comics for years now. I got her to read the first two issues of Love Everlasting and now she can't wait for the next issues to come out. Great work Tom King, Bravo!

Wow that was fantastic. Bravo guys 👏
Is love really everlasting or just a false state of mind? Hmmm… “Love” the story so far and I can’t wait to read more!
Brilliant.

That was clever and a lot of fun. Love the art on this as well.
:)
That was excellent! I knew after the first chapter that it had to go to weird places...

Loved it. Looking forward to the next issue 🙂

LOVED that cliff hanger!!!! How long until you release issue 2?

Looking forward to reading more. I'm going to have to slap together a glowing review of it soon!
