2.0 out of 5 stars
Far below the best of Elfquest, April 4, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Elfquest Reader's Collection #15: Forevergreen (Paperback)
Of course I bought this book, and anyone who's following the Elfquest series will do the same. However, it is one of the weaker volumes. Much of the art is terrible -- the characters are literally unrecognizable, all looking (and acting) like effete children. There are huge holes in the plot, and the story is shallow. I suspect that Forevergreen was written not by Wendy Pini but by someone who didn't really bother to research the universe in which the story is set.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Bitter disappointment, June 24, 2002
This review is from: Elfquest Reader's Collection #15: Forevergreen (Paperback)
I have read this book and agree with most of the other reviewers. As an avid elfquest fan, I was disappointed by the the art - it doesn't possess the quality of the Elfquest legacy. The art is substandard and embarrassing for Elfquest. The story, too, is mediocre. There is too much jumping around, holes in the plot, and departures from characters. The actions of the characters just seem out of sync with the other elfquest stories - did someone other than the Pinis write it? Of course I bought this since I am a fan and stupidly bought Phoenix, which is even worse than this one! EQ fans beware.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Not even worth vomiting for..., October 10, 2000
This review is from: Elfquest Reader's Collection #15: Forevergreen (Paperback)
DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY! If I could give it less than one star, I would! This is the most abyssmal book I have ever owned and I ashamed to have it sitting on my bookshelf. In the case of a power outtage, it is the first thing I will burn! If you love elfquest, then you will hate this...that Wendy and Richard even published it destroys my faith in their integrity and makes me very skeptical of future releases. This is the most hackneyed, untalented, uninspired, unbelieveable and nauseating book I have ever read! (and I've read a lot of stinkers) If you want EQ, read the Hidden Years graphic novel or Dreamtime...don't waste your time on this.
