Review Quotes

"I was sold from Page One; a gut punch from the outset but also tapping into things that have been on my mind for a long time. Bold, true #comics right here!"
-Steve Orlando (Batman, Supergirl, Midnighter)

"Painfully hilarious writer-and-creativity black comedy. Writer protagonists are the most dangerous of tropes. The only way to make it work is to skewer them. FEARSCAPE skewers them in such a dedicated way it's a little like a torture chamber with a laugh track. I applaud and laugh and wince and cheer."
-Kieron Gillen (The Wicked + The Divine, Young Avengers, Star Wars)

"Really good! A haunting story about the delicate balance between a writer's ego and insecurities played out in a fantasy netherworld."
-Mark Russel (The Flintstones, Snagglepuss, Prez)

"Wow. Fuck you guys. Ryan O'Sullivan and Andrea Mutti, I know you see me, and yet I will stand over your graves. FEARSCAPE is an evil and really very good comic. It is so comedically archly self-aware, its tongue is so far in its cheek it's practically licking its own eyeball from the inside. I really enjoyed it."
-Warren Ellis (Transmetropolitan, Planetary, Injection)

"I loved it - about writing, writers and the lies the latter tell themselves in order to do the former."
-Charles Soule (She-Hulk, Star Wars, The Oracle Year)

"Prrrrrobably wouldn't have chosen "Wow. Fuck you guys" as the pullquote there."
-Warren Ellis (Transmetropolitan, Planetary, Injection)
