The mystery of where Amelia Earhart, the first female aviator to fly across the Atlantic Ocean, ended up in her famous flight has been something that has many puzzled over the years since. Nobody really does know what did ever happen to her.Elsewhere takes that idea and brings Amelia Earhart to an alien world that she never expected. During her famous flight, Amelia goes through a portal into another world altogether and meets two aliens, Cort and Tavel, who save her from a tree. She wants to fi...

Bullet Review:The entire time, I couldn’t help but think of Darkwing Duck or Rescue Rangers or Duck Tales - the art style was somewhat childish as well as story, plot, dialogue...But...there’s nothing explicitly wrong and I wouldn’t be opposed to reading more about Amelia Earhart and her adventures in this crazy world.

What happened to Amelia Earhart?(Full disclosure: I received a free electronic ARC for review through Edelweiss.)This a fun, quick read. A more outlandish piece of alternative history told in graphic novel format, Elsewhere explores the mystery of what happened to Amelia Earhart. When she and her navigator, Fred Noonan, had to bail from their plane due to do engine trouble, they jumped right into a space-time portal that transported them to an alien world. Amelia is rescued by a ragtag team of f...

This review originally published in Looking For a Good Book. Rated 4.0 of 5Other than reading a few graphic novels for my book review blog, I am not connected to the comic book/graphic novel community. I don't read up on what authors and artists are working on and I definitely don't hear any advance praise or advance criticism. What that means is that when I request an Advance Reading Copy of a graphic novel, I know nothing about it, but usually the art or the description of the story catches my...

Amelia Earhart slips into another world after her plane suffers engine problems forcing her navigator and herself to eject. Falling into a burst of light in the sky after her navigator, Amelia finds herself in an alien world where she finds not only alien allies (though technically Amelia is the alien to them) but also a surprise guest in DB Cooper showing how the portal of light affects not only space but time itself (like a Bermuda triangle in the sky.) The plot is pretty simple and Amelia is

Really quite dull story-wise, though the art isn't too terrible. Elsewhere posits another world where Amelia Earhart (and D.B. Cooper?) have found themselves, battling against a despotic emperor and flying on winged "steeds." And, really, that's about it. There's no real story here at all in this first volume, just some table-setting for what is to come. And I don't think I particularly care about what might happen next.

I really enjoyed Jay Faerber's Copperhead series and I was mostly pleased to find that Elsewhere follows a similar vein - strong female protagonist, textbook fantasy setting plot, beautiful foreign worlds to explore. Instead of a sheriff on a Firefly-style Western planet, this time we get Amelia Earhart crash landing on an exotic floating jungle world. The world-building is a bit on the sparse side - we meet a big bad villain and a tribe of rebellious aliens and not much else. There's a definite...

Silly and cute, though there's not quite enough story to carry a whole volume. I love the idea of "solving" mysteries from the past. I'd be interested to see where it goes.

An interesting premise on what really happened to Amelia Earhart, she was transported to an alien dimension. Unfortunately there's not much story here. It's your standard fantasy trope of evil despot sits on the throne and must be removed. This had way more potential than what was delivered unfortunately.

Review courtesy of All Things Urban Fantasy:With bold art and a a mystery that is slowly revealed, ELSEWHERE VOLUME 1, the story of what really happened to Amelia Earhart. Unfortunately it fails to set itself apart from the thousand of other stories which explore new worlds. ELSEWHERE doesn’t quite work for me.The book starts off a bit slow, but picks up by the midway point. When Amelia finally stops reacting to what is going on and starts acting, she’s more fun. It’s also around that point that...

Definitely one of the top two comics from the past decade positing a fantastic survival for Amelia Earhart which I've read recently. But read Air instead, because this is painfully generic.(Edelweiss ARC)

I grabbed this from the library without looking at it, so I had no idea it was about Amelia Earhart. A graphic novel about Amelia Earheart? Yes, please! Even my 7 year old boy liked this.

This is an original review from Booked & LoadedElsewhere left me feeling a little conflicted. The fantasy side of Amelia Earhart's story had some fun bits and brightened my day, but felt it lacked substance. Faerber created some interesting characters and left lots of room to either build them up or destroy them.Earhart ends up in another dimension / time warp and quickly leads the way into shenanigans, with a pretty good twist at the end of this volume. The twist at the end is certainly my favo...

Coming from a place where Amelia Earhardt is less national heroine and more pub quiz answer, this undemanding romp lacked much resonance. It lacked much anything, to be honest - you’d say it might be an ok all-ages comic (not spotting the twist coming is a good way to tell if you’re young enough). But the second lead is a walking bit of 1970s trivia - so who really knows where this was aiming?

While this graphic novel provides an interesting science fiction solution to the disappearance of certain people who get sucked into Bermuda Triangle situations, it’s not all that original. It’s been done in countless stories. There was even a “Star Trek: Voyager” episode that featured a displaced Amelia Earhart. (Incidentally, that woman looked a lot more believable than the one featured in this story. When the real Amelia Earhart disappeared, she was 40 years old. The woman in this story looks...

Elsewhere is the first volume of a series from Jay Faerber and Sumeyye Kesgin that seeks to answer the question of what happened to Amelia Earheart after her disappearance. Apparently, she landed in some weird dimension that's an amalgam of Avatar and Jeff Smith's Bone.I didn't really get into this one. It moves a mile a minute and I don't think it ever gave itself enough time to introduce and stick with one defining theme. I'd loved to have seen this story fleshed out over 6 issues as opposed t...

I received an ARC copy of Elsewhere, Vol. 1 from Image Comics for review on In Full Bleed. You can read an excerpt of that review below or read it in its entirety at this link.***It’s not uncommon for creators to put fantastical or science fiction twists on historical events. In Elsewhere, writer Jay Faerber and artist Sumeyye Kesgin put forth a new thesis on what happened to Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan: they disappeared into a space-time vortex. Naturally, they landed years apart in a mythic...

Before there was such a thing as "urban legends", there were these stories I grew up with about people and their unexplainable circumstances and whereabouts. Legends. Tall Tales. And in the age before the 24-hour news cycle, sports radio and its hot takes, and ALL CAPS Twitter that tracks, over-analyzes, and announces every movement and every word of too many people, there were famous (enough) people whose story was riddled with gaps. And to be honest, there's a bit of magic and legend that make...
