Interesting comic involving time travel. I like the concept, although it was a bit hard to follow, but that only means it's like Donnie Darko and you'll want to read it again and again to get a better understanding of what is going on.

I like the concept of this book, however, there were confusing moments to the ending. The concept of time travel was great and the possible dimensions in the comic. The characters were likable and I thought Ludo was caring and he really went out of his way to find her. The graphics are great, but I can only rate it 4/5.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️4 stars

A story about love, loss, and grief but not in the way you expect.

I really enjoyed this graphic novel, the art by V.V. Glass was fantastic, and a perfect conduit for Adam Smith's fragmented writing style.

Although the plot was a little bit confusing in some places, by the end I think that this added another layer of depth, making the story more interesting to reread. Personally, I was more intrigued than put off by the elements of the story that I didn't understand. I was easily drawn in by the setting and the stories unexpected supernatural elements.

The relationship that developed between Ludo and Arlo is intricate and well constructed. Their dynamic is easy to understand since we see so much of their relationship from so many points in time. This easily explains their attachment to each other (or lack of attachment) and not only fuels the plot but also motivates characters to act. Both Ludo and Arlo have agency and I enjoyed seeing them make all the wrong decisions.

Overall, this is a unique and wholly original graphic novel that I would recommend to lovers of Donnie Darko. It’s been compared to Paper Towns by John Green but I don't think that this comparison does the book justice and instead sets readers up to be let down.

I received an advance review copy for free via NetGalley in alliance with Oni Press, and I am leaving this review voluntarily 📚

I received an e-arc on Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Ludo and Arlo met at a cookout on base when Ludo's family moved onto the base. They ended up falling in love, but Arlo went missing before Ludo could come back. In a twisty, but interesting graphic novel, V.V. Glass and Adam Smith tell the story of two young people in love.

I was a little confused by this graphic novel at first, but as you go on, the story makes a lot of sense. I really enjoyed it and read it in one sitting. The artwork is absolutely beautiful and the story was told beautifully. I would definitely read this novel again as there are things I definitely missed on the first go-round. Multiple rereads help to discover more about the story. I was really touched by the storyline when it all came together. They were two people who could never be together on the same "track" and were always on different timelines.

I want to check out more of V.V. Glass and Adam Smith's works as this graphic novel was so beautiful. I love V.V. Glass's artwork and Adam Smith's writing is amazing.

*Rating 3.5
This comic is different from the ones I’m used to reading. The plot is intriguing and interesting. Not real a fan of the artwork, but I can see how it fits perfectly for the storyline. The illustrations weren’t as detailed but it works because there’s already so much going on. I do want to say that the cover is amazing and it was what got my immediate attention.

The two main characters are Ludo and Arlo who met each other at an army base. Arlo disappears before Ludo comes back to the base after being away from some time. There’s a lot of time jumps in the story and it gets even more confusing at the end. Although I liked the time jumping part, I can also say that it can easily get confusing and annoying if you don’t read it carefully.

I do appreciate the diversity of the characters and the relationships each has with one another. It is not your simple mystery, missing girl story. However, I believe there’s need to be more to fully understand the whole story. I know there’s more to the series, so I can’t wait to see where the writers take this!

At the End of Your Tether is an intriguing graph novel. Ludo’s girlfriend Arlo is missing, but in trying to find her he discovers more questions than answers.
I liked this story, I can’t discuss the plot without spoiling it, but it’s suspenseful. Arlo and Ludo have solid chemistry and I enjoyed their relationship.
The story feels rushed at certain points, perhaps because of the graphic novel’s short length. My only other complaint is the ending is confusing.
I enjoyed this graphic novel a lot, and I hope for a sequel!
