When I ordered this book, I was not aware that it was a graphic novel. I just saw a new title by Lauren Beukes, and added it to the always growing list of titles that my local bookstore gets for me. So, when I picked this up Wednesday night, I was surprised, but thought I would give it a try. The story is creepy and fun, and the artwork is really good. But, I have the same problem with this book as I do with other graphic novels I have tried. I just want more story. The premise of adult survivor...

2/5 Stars. This disappointed me SO MUCH. I actually never heard of this graphic novel until I saw it scrolling through book outlet. When I saw Joe Hill blurbed it and read the premise (30 something’s who each survived an 80s horror moviesque situation) I was sold. The premise of this graphic novel is truly what pulled me in, and the art was absolutely stunning. Unfortunately, those are the only real positives I can give to this. The story started off decent, introducing each of the characters an...

This one had a great concept and a ton of potential, but didn't quite reach it. From what I understand, the series got canceled and the writers had to do a quick wrap up which led to a convulted and confusing ending. Most of the book I would have rated Five Stars, but with the weird ending it just didn't quite reach that level.The basic storyline is you have a group of survivors who all survived some type of weird event in 1987, such as demonic possession, a "grudge" type vengeance demon, a haun...

I'm not really into the bizarre-type of horror. If it's not attempting to be scary I rather read scifi/fantasy for bizarre creatures and happenings.

i'd say a good fun read if you're into horror comics, but don't have too high expectations for it

Individual issue reviews: #1 | #2 | #3 | #4 | #5 | #6 | #7 | #8 | #9Total review score: 1.56I really don't want to spend a lot of time on reviewing this because I already wasted enough time reading it. I kind of love how the main premise of the story is basically forgotten and the last two issues turn into a Murder House rip-off./sDon't make the same mistake as me, thinking that you need to know how the story ends. Just, no. No. Don't even start this.

I didn't hate it but i think the ending felt rushed & I confused 2 of the characters for like a second of the story it felt like we never got a chance to know the characters individually nor the big bad. Positives though: i loved the idea, the concept and the character design the writing was great at a good majority of the time some however could have been done better.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CREEPY! I LOVED THIS. Incredibly imaginative, compelling, unique, engaging, and well-written. Fantastic characters and development. Amazing and grotesque art. I would highly recommend! Lauren Beukes is an amazing writer! I only wish that it continued!

Disturbing? Oh yeah. Great art? You bet. Page turner? Check.But somehow the final cut is messing and in no case "Survivor's Club" can be resembled to the magnificent "The It". It is like when you have all the right ingredients, but you can't put them together properly. Personal opinion :)

Written by Lauren Beukes and Dale Halvorsen, and illustrated by Ryan Kelly (with some assistance from Inaki Miranda (guest artist on chapter four), and Mark Farmer and Peter Gross (additional inks and finishes)), Survivor's Club is the story of six people - Harvey Lisker, Chenziro Moleko, Kiri Nomura, Teo Reyes, Alice Taylor-Newsome, and Simon Wisker - all of whom individually had frightening experiences straight out of 1980s horror film territory back in 1987, when they were children. The effec...

Oh man this book is the classic example of sunk cost fallacy, like I only read it cause I found the starting chapters interesting, but man this book really is "Oops all stereotypes" and the gamer protagonist was kinda baffling at how tone deaf she was, man only read this book if you really NOTHING to do and want to waste time on a book without a proper ending.

Lauren Beukes has been on my instant-buy list since I read The Shining Girls, so I'm glad I finally got around to reading this graphic novel.Co-written with Dale Halverson, this story is interested in horror tropes and stock characters and subverting the hell out of your expectations. I am also a sucker for a haunted house tale! The story plays with time in a way that will appeal to anyone who loved The Haunting of Hill House Netflix series or fans of House of Leaves. But through the art (Ryan K...

I guess this just worked for me. It was almost as if it had been written for me. I spent my childhood reading horror comics like Scream, and creepy girls comic books with killer dolls and haunted dolls house, so the idea of returning to the children who experienced these things in their later lives was intriguing.

I really was excited to read this graphic novel and while a lot of the characters and monsters were pretty cool I felt about disappointed about the explanation for the supernatural weirdness and clumsy way everything came together.The story follows a group of adults getting together because of a weird email to discuss the events that happened to each of them in 1987 that connects them all. This story has all the monster tropes, undead demons, living dolls, giant insect, haunted house and killer

Anything that takes on the fun and sometimes tricky task of deconstructing horror tropes and horror films is going to ping on my book radar. So when I heard that Lauren Beukes of THE SHINING GIRLS and BROKEN MONSTERS fame not only wrote a new story that did just that, but also did it in comic book form, well, you know that I was on board THAT terror train. And from that comes the comic series SURVIVORS' CLUB. I had my eye on it at the comic shops I frequent from time to time, but they never had

2.5/5Bit disappointing, awesome art but story was a bit all over the place. Felt like too much was going on at once, and it kind of lost what it was supposed to be. It hints at some interesting themes but never fulfills their potential, and I wish we learnt more about each of the characters.I'd say a good fun read if you're into horror comics, but don't have too high expectations for it.

The Survivors’ Club is a thrilling adventure involving a group of people who suffered supernatural events in the 1980s and are brought together by a suspicious email.The book is full of fantastic art, plot twists, and an engaging cast. The story is told in fragmented bits following one or two characters at a time before converging, all the while we get bits and pieces of character back story and clues to the overarching big mystery. The cast is diverse and layer, with strong female characters (a...

It was alright. The graphics are really good. I didn't really get the whole 80's horror movie vibe as much as I was hoping for. It was there but it just wasn't all the way there. I don't want to say too much because I don't want to slip and give anything away. The idea behind this series is an excellent one. When you read the synopsis about it it sounds brilliant and it does have some very good parts but it just feels a bit flat. What I do like is that there is some good 80's style gore and sill...

I am a big fan of Lauren Beukes and I found this graphic novel to be a major disappointment. It was narratively overstuffed, wasn't scary or well told, and the art (with the exception of the excellent covers by Bill Sienkiwicz) was cartoonish and unimaginative. The premise of this book was an outstanding idea (6 people who survived paranormal events in 1987 coming together in the face of a threat), but the execution was clumsy and uninspired.

Finished reading…~Survivor’s Club by Lauren Beukes (Goodreads Author) (Writer), Dale Halverson (Writer), Ryan Kelly (Artist), Inaki Miranda (Artist), Mark Farmer (Inker), Eva de la Cruz (Colourist), Clem Robins (Letterer), Bill Sienkiewicz (Cover Artist) | Format: GN TPBA very cool concept that didn’t quite come together. Firstly, the synopsis on the back of the book is misleading.“What if the horror movies of the 1980’s were real? Where are those kids today?The haunted house, the demonic doll,
