Review Quotes

"2025 Favorite of the Year" GamingTrend Comics

"Writer Antony Johnston fashions a tense, thought-provoking story laced with bucketfuls of gore. Artist Ben Templesmith's style - scratchy and chaotic with an almost unfinished feel, the direct antithesis to the hyper-realistic style of many of his peers - has never been my favorite, but it absolutely works here, adding to the hectic pace of the story. Dead Space is a totally engaging off-world adventure, and an excellent introduction to the series as a whole." FearNet

"Christopher Shy's artwork is what truly sells this not only as a graphic novel, but also as a work of art." Forbes

"A spine-chilling read from start to finish that seamlessly captures the constant dread and brutality of the Dead Space video games. If you're already a fan of this franchise then this comic won't disappoint as it packs as much gruesome imagery and tense horror into its pages as it physically can ... 5/5 stars!" Get Your Comic On
