Select early praise for News from the Fallout: “A comic that's equal parts sci-fi mystery and nuclear fueled nightmare, searing itself into the reader's brain via its disturbing imagery and compelling story.” —AIPT “A truly powerful introduction to the series…simply a must-read horror comic.” —Capes & Tights “A wildly stylish comic book that revels in being over-the-top both with its characters and its visuals.” —Major Spoilers “A hell of a debut that is one horror fans won't want to miss. It's far more than a simple nuclear-bomb-creates-monsters story.” —Graphic Policy “A truly distinctive experience. Horror fans owe it to themselves to pick up News from the Fallout.” —Comic Watch “Builds tremendous suspense.” —Nerd Initiative “If you’re tired of formulaic horror, pick up this up today. This bold, unnerving, absolutely unforgettable new twist on a beloved horror coupled with a visual storytelling masterpiece, wont disappoint.” —ComicsOnline “Individually the creators are dynamite. Together, they are like an atomic bomb. Literally.” —Comicon “A bleak and visceral read that is heavily reliant on visual storytelling in the best possible way. It's a comic that will grip you from page one and never let you go.” —Get Your Comic On “Equally gripping and atmospheric.” —GonkBonk “Transports the reader into the era of '60s horror, feeling quintessential of genre stories from the period.” —Comics Bulletin “One of the coolest-looking comic books in recent memory.” —Monkeys Fighting Robots “A deliciously grim start… What makes this one special, though, is its overall design… Dialogue that deceives and gloomy character designs converge for an experience that finds a lot of despair mixed in with the intrigue surrounding the bomb test. And like most disasters, it’s impossible not to look at.” —Comics Beat “One of the scariest books of the year.” —Gatecrashers
