Reactions and Reviews
"All Things Are Possible...With Love” is a good looking sine, neatly constructed in small digest format with a stapled spine. The print is clear and easy to read. The artwork is fair; none of the selections really stand out. Errors are few and far between: commas where periods should be and vice versa; rare incidences of misspellings and words that are unnecessarily capitalized. The author adds fuel to the fire of the great Diana eye debate: are they blue? Green? According to "ATAP...WL," they're BROWN.
The dialogue overall is pretty good, especially Vincent's. I had trouble with Joe Maxwell addressing Diana Bennett as "Red" and referring to her as "little lady."
The story itself is a series of cantos, connected by artwork and poetry. According to the dictionary, a canto is a main division of a long poem. This description suits the general format of the zine. However, I found this literary device somewhat distracting. The result is not so much a continuous story as a series of dreamy, episodic glimpses into a "Cathy returns from the dead" scenario. Longtime fans will be able to follow the story, but newer fans might find it somewhat vague.
This is an intriguing and ambitious package. Readers who like poetry will especially enjoy it. This ninety-page zine is quite a bargain at $8.95 ($1 from each order is donated to Habitat for Humanity). [2]
One of the first “She's Not Dead” stories printed, and arguably the best. This magical, powerful account wisely avoids logical explanations. Instead, Catherine, awaiting autopsy, is reanimated apparently by the force of love alone and spends 3rd season in a sedated coma experiencing vivid, haunting dreams of Vincent. Truth springs from blood to hand to eye like a strange contagion: for no reason she knows, Diana suddenly is certain C is alive; with a touch, C remembers the past and who she is. V undertakes a journey both symbolic and psychological to confront images of himself and recover himself so that he can recover Catherine. It's more a prose poem than a story. Though words like magical, mythic, dreamlike come to mind, it's impossible to describe this excellent, lyrical zine. You have to read it for yourself. [3]
