Today’s post is on We Are Here Forever by Michelle Gish. It
is 224 pages long and published by Quirk Books. The cover is an illustration
from book with the Puramus’. The intended reader is someone who likes graphic novels,
and comedy. There is no foul language, no sex, and no violence in this book.
The story is told from third person god perspective. There Be Spoilers Ahead.
From the back of the book- It’s the most adorable apocalypse
ever!
The human race has vanished from the earth, replaced by innocent, playful, purple creatures called the Puramus. Colorful and cartoony, these absurd critters elicit smiles and giggle, but they really as harmless as they seem?
In the spic graphic novel, short interlocking stories follow the Pura through the centuries as they explore their new home, form a mini-monarchy, and develop a modern society. A final act pulls us across time and space in the search for clues to their mysterious origins. Along the way, humor and intrigue abound: Can King defend his village when nobody understands what war is? Will Jingle work up the nerve to read to poetry at open mic night? Does Puffpuff ever stop floating?

Review- A cute story about creatures just trying to make
some kind of life. There is no real story to this comic, just vignettes about
different Puramus’. They play, explore the world, make stories about the humans
before, and search for meaning. Every Pura has an individual meaning and they
have to discover it for themselves. It can be to go to space to go underground
to see what lives there; but every Pura must learn their meaning then they can
be happy. There are questions asked in
this comic that are never answered but that does not take away from the overall
narrative of the book. If you are looking for a unique story to interact with
then you should give this one a look.
I give this graphic novel a Four out of Five stars. I was
given this book as a gift.
