Book Review - End After End by David Brian Andry

 


End After End by David Brian Andry is the beginning of a new series about a man who died and is coming to terms about his new existence. Walter Willem’s death was fast and unexpected. He was taking a picture and inadvertently stepped off the ledge onto the path of an oncoming train.

He ends up in a place that is in between life and death. In this in-between place, there is an endless war against a dark force that intends to consume all of existence. His choices are to continue on fighting or leave the realm by dying. Will Walt be able to find his purpose in the in-between place or will he succumb to eternal death?

The graphic novel was an interesting read. It didn’t have much humor. The book didn’t delve too much into the characters’ background and the purpose of the war. I felt that I had a lot more questions on what the story was going to be about then I had answers at the end. They hinted at some of Walt’s background but it didn’t offer any answers on why he ended up there other than he is dead, i.e why didn’t he go to “heaven” or “hell”?  In the reality of this novel, do these places even exist for a soul to move on to? I am interested in finding out some of the answers but I hope the second volume offers more information about this new mysterious world and our protagonist.
