Comic Book Series

Hollow Heart

"This book is like The Shape of Water, but with queer leads. A monster love story we can all fall in love with."

Wandering Nerd Girl

"Love, horror, and bio-suit sludge monsters."

AIPT

"This is a story that immediately grapples your attention and there are lots of fascinating threads and themes, and I really cannot recommend this enough. This is one of the coolest starts to a sci-fi story I’ve read in a minute, and this should be a must add to your pull for a wide gamut of fans."

Black Nerd Problems

"Paul Allor (Guardians of the Galaxy) beautifully navigates both authentic relationships and an engaging story."

Bleeding Cool

The Picture of Everything Else

"This is another absolutely stunning debut from Vault Comics; a literary horror series that provides a visceral, haunting depiction of what happens when you change the world through art, and I absolutely cannot recommend it highly enough."

Big Comic Page

"The plot moves in an interesting branch from the material from which it was inspired. The art is wonderful and perfectly fitting for the setting. But most importantly, the story doesn’t erase the gay subtext of the original. Instead, it becomes much more overt and visible, and the story is stronger for it. I am excited to see where the story goes next, and if you’re a fan of gothic horror, you should be too."

But Why Tho?

“Kishore Mohan's light linework and sumptuous watercolors are the kind you want to dive right into...the big horror moments land with aplomb and gusto.”

Games Radar

"A blood-stained love letter to Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Everything Else immerses readers into the dark undercurrent that pulsed beneath the most well-known literary works of the Victorian era. A masterwork of modern Horror and a must-read series, The Picture of Everything Else is not to be missed."

The Brazen Bull

"I had high hopes for this first issue, and I was completely blown away. This is the sort of beautifully written horror that you crave in life. Decadent and exceptionally written, which is no surprise with Dan Watters writing it. There’s something about the way the story is told that you feel like you’re being drawn into the events alongside the characters. You’re helpless and intrigued and cannot look away from what’s unfolding. It’s SO GOOD."

Wandering Nerd Girl

"Magic and art go back a very long way and a title like this really hits a sweet spot on multiple levels.... Walters has a solid idea here and interesting characters from the start forced into hard choices while Mohan’s artwork is just fantastic through and through. It’s a great pairing that results in a strong opening book with a lot of potential."

The Fandom Post

"The Picture of Everything #2 is an issue you will not want to put down after picking up. The story is always twisting and introducing new characters and events to hook the reader, the art is utterly magnificent, and the lettering takes steps to enhance the read. There are so many reasons to love this issue and so few reasons not. The series is one I would definitely recommend putting on your pull list."

Monkeys Fighting Robots

"There is so much intimacy in the writing, keeping the reader feeling like they’re part of what’s unfolding, and keeps you emotionally invested in what is happening. The eerie feeling of looming danger for the Marcel haunts you, while the heartbreaking struggles he’s been through devastate you."

Wandering Nerd Girl

I Walk With Monsters

"I Walk With Monsters #1 is a perfect first issue that demands to be read. From the first page, it does everything right and never slips up after it."

Comics Bookcase

"Like other creator-owned books from Vault, “I Walk with Monsters” takes a lot of risks. It’s rewarding to experience an independent comic that evokes so much emotion in so few pages, and is a good example that when done right, comics are an optimal medium for sharing horror stories."

Instellar Intersection

"A strong and harrowing tale which deals with real life issues and dabbles in the world of supernatural beings."

Carreinated Critique

"Special praise must go to Cantirino, who has created a world as ugly and dirty as the psychology being examined in I Walk With Monsters #1. Cantirino brings out an earthiness to the setting that indicates the messy state of Jacey’s life.... I Walk With Monsters #1 isn’t what you’d call entertaining. It is, however, exceptionally well written. Cornell eschews that blood and thunder a book like this might evoke in the hands of lesser writers."

Major Spoilers

"An engaging, unexpected opening sequence that captivates the reader and establishes the tone, mood, and themes of the series so seemingly effortlessly that you know Cornell and Cantirino put in a lot of effort to tell the story."

Black Nerd Problems

“With engrossing writing of both story and dialogue and beautifully appealing visuals, Vault have picked themselves up yet another winner here.”

Pipedream Comics

"I WALK WITH MONSTERS is a suspenseful tale that sincerely explores the physical and mental damage monsters can inflict on their prey."

Comic Book Yeti

A Dark Interlude

"A Dark Interlude charges forward into The Fearscape, with Henry Henry a bit sidelined relative to the series’ past. This adds up to a confident and intriguing follow-up (not a sequel!) to Vault’s literary ego sendup comic, one that is not to be missed."

Comics Bookcase

"To call A DARK INTERLUDE a triumph is a predictable understatement. With the crew back together, it was no wonder this comic was so good. If Fearscape was a sellout success, A DARK INTERLUDE won’t be far behind."

The Valkyries

"If you loved the first Fearscape, then this is another tour-de-force read that continues the first book’s gloriously ambitious tone and even takes it up a notch.... A Dark Interlude is another indie masterpiece from Vault Comics and the reason why we keep harping on about how good they are as a publisher!"

PipeDream Comics

“Andrea Mutti and Vladamir Popov once again bringing these amazingly creative characters to life...[A DARK INTERLUDE completely sucks you into the world of fantasy and mystery.”

Caffeinated Critique

"O’Sullivan’s got some really neat and creative writing tricks going on here to tell the tale as he wants to and Mutti’s artwork delivers in spades across the board."

Fandom Post

GIGA

"This really is a series for fans of the weirder side of comic books and science-fiction. In terms of detail drenched worlds, comic fans can't do much better than Giga #1."

Screen Rant

"GIGA #1 reads like the beginning of something exciting. It feels like a well-thought-out sci-fi series that is bound to reward its readers over time."

AV Club

"Giga #1 is a job well done in every aspect, with a story that intrigues and creates the feeling that the deeper we invest with every issue, the more it will reward. It feels like a peek into a fully-formed society in the future, and Paknadel impresses with his balance between small doses of exposition and restraint."

Bleeding Cool

"The visuals are soaring, the characters complex and human, and the struggles feel immediate in spite of their alien setting. This is more than a good pitch, it’s the rare idea that delivers upon the promises of grand ideas with a well told story and I, for one, am ready to read more."

Comicbook

The Devil’s Red Bride

"From the first page, The Devil’s Red Bride #1 delivers exactly what you’d expect from a samurai tale set in 16th century Japan. Epic battle panels filled with blood, a story steeped in history, and a war-torn world with all sides fighting to hold onto their honor. What sets Vault Comics’ “brutal samurai grindhouse epic” apart from other stories in this genre is just how layered and visually impressive the whole experience is."

Comics Beat

"Vault is no stranger to quality storytelling in their comics and The Devil’s Red Bride #1 feels like yet another example of the level of execution you can expect from the publisher. The entire creative team including Powell on letters has tapped into a unique feel for the story that offers something different than almost anything else out right now."

Comic Watch

"Sebastian Girner delivers a solid story for this with good character exploration and some background coming to the surface that fits and flows well."

Fandom Post (#3)

“[There’s] something intriguing about the story and the use of bargaining with the devil, something incredible about the horrors of it all.”

Wandering Nerdgirl (#3)

"The execution is flawless, for me. It’s familiar but new, with just enough darkness to really seal the deal."

Wandering Nerdgirl (#4)

"Girner has pulled it off well so far...Bivens’ artwork continues to delight."

Fandom Post (#4)

"Sebastian Girner does what every writer should do – reveal character at key moments, answer one question and then ask another, and lead the reader to a denouement that leaves them hungry for the next issue."

Major Spoilers (Issue #4)

The Autumnal

“Horror stories have made clowns creepy and this one might do the same for fall foliage.”

New York Times

“Deeply unsettling…The Autumnal is like holding Halloween in your hands.”

Comics Beat

“Wow! Super-creepy writing and fantastic art!”

Patton Oswalt

“The Autumnal might be the next fan favorite — the perfect series for the fall season.”

Screen Rant

“It’s Eisner-worthy creating if I’ve ever witnessed it.”

Bleeding Cool (Autumnal #2)

"The Autumnal may have five issues left to go, but I'd take fifty... The Autumnal is one of the best books on shelves, and it has been since its debut."

Bleeding Cool (Autumnal #3)

"There are so many great elements to this eerie comic. Hats off to Writer Daniel Kraus for this incredible story. Artist Chris Shehan and Colorist Jason Wordie have captured the quintessential colors and designs of Autumn, right down to the chilling wind.... Letterer Jim Campbell added dimension with the use of distinctive fonts."

Pastrami Nation

"[Vault is] killing it with a smarter more intelligent horror story and with the undertones we see this’ll remind you of some of the most classic films around."

Reading With a Flight Ring

"The Autumnal will engulf you. It seeps into your bones. The characters are so relatable that we have quickly become invested in their lives. This makes the dangers they face all the more harrowing. We're just getting started with this book, but it's already become one of my favorite comics of the year."

Horror DNA

"[The story] moves at a good pace here...I’m really curious to see where it goes next.

Fandom Post (#4)

Heavy

"Heavy #1 is a win for Max Bemis, Eryk Donovan, and the whole team, reimagining a version of the afterlife that offers reward for hard work and, it seems from that final page, punishment when authority is questioned."

Bleeding Cool

"I came away from Heavy #1 completely blown away. I went in expecting a standard anti-hero knock off and found my expectations wonderfully subverted."

Comics Bookcase

"...the book is filled with quick and hilarious dialogue that keeps the pace of the story flowing at a solid pace....While the artwork in the series is incredible, it’s the words the characters speak that really shine."

Pastrami Nation

"Heavy continues to be a really fun series...The artwork continues to be strong as I like seeing how many different versions of Moore that Donovan can put out there."

Fandom Post (#4)

Shadow Service

"If you enjoy some of the darker books from the Big Two that dive into the world of magic, demons and witches (bring on the Hellblazer comparisons!) this is definitely worth a read. As for me, it follows the script of what I like from the first issue of a brand new series—introducing the characters, showcasing some bonkers imagery, and leaving me on a cliffhanger that screams 'I dare you to come back and see where all this leads!'"

Comic Book

"Shadow Service #2 improves on the already solid first issue in every way and is perfect for fans of urban fantasy and detective stories like The Dresden Files and Joss Whedon's Angel. The world and its characters are every bit as interesting as the protagonists of some of the literary world's long-running, best-selling urban fantasy series, so one can only hope that Shadow Service can keep going."

Bleeding Cool

"Dynamic, moody, atmospheric, confrontational...If you’re up for dark magic and spooky subterfuge, give this one a try!"

The Fanboy Factor

"The developing mystery is more than enough to hold the audience’s interest while the series is still in its early issues, and the rapid succession of new creepy crawly monsters is always a blast to see."

AIPT Comics

"A wild ride with loads of truths revealed, and sides taken. Issue #5 of Shadow Service is incredibly written, with all the plot twists and allegiance turns you could ever hope for. The story has been consistently excellent with Shadow Service and I absolutely love it."

Wandering Nerd Girl

Vampire: The Masquerade

"It’s a fun enough story for newcomers like myself and surely captures enough depth for longtime fans, making it a worthwhile purchase for anyone looking for a great new vampire comic to sink their teeth into. While it’s Cecily’s character that will pull me back in for more as she deals with the unraveling situation within the vampires of the twin cities and this mysterious Alejandra, there is enough stellar artwork and intricate plotting to keep nearly any reader deeply engaged."

Comic Watch

"Seeley creates a comic here that evokes classic Vertigo comics on every page, with a world that is complex and interesting with subversive characters and art from Pramanik that is beautifully creepy."

Bleeding Cool

"I can say with sincere honesty that it lived up to my expectations, all while drawing me in and leaving me eager to see how both plots progress in the future. This is arguably a series perfect for old fans, as well as leaving an opening for new fans. While, admittedly, those more steeped in the lore will pick up more details, the writing and art style are solid enough to support new readers as well."

Word of the Nerd

"I’m absolutely in love with what a badass Cecily is.... It’s some excellent character development. The art is, as always, spectacular and perfectly suited to the storyline and the world. The gruesome parts, the different Kindred, the settings: it’s all drawn so beautifully, with colors that really set the tone. Andworld Design does excellent work with the lettering as well."

The Wandering Nerd Girl

Dark One

“A dramatically dark fantasy that will leave readers eager for the sequel.”

Kirkus

“Brandon Sanderson’s DARK ONE is the realization of a supremely ambitious Vault Comics ideal. It’s a literary comic that blends high concept storytelling interests across genres without sacrificing any of the craft, structure, or character development needed to make narratives compelling and immersive.“

Comics Bookcase

“A story that both perfectly captures and totally swerves common cliches and storytelling staples.“

The Brazen Bull

“[DARK ONE is] a brilliant graphic novel that has some amazing themes delving into the duality of man and light and dark. The creative team tells Paul’s story beautifully, making sure that this novel will leave an impact.“

But Why Tho?

“Everything about this book is excellent, from the writing, art, lettering – every bit drips with that flare Vault comics all have.“

Wandering Nerdgirl

“[DARK ONE] a supremely well-executed graphic novel.”

Comics Beat

Bleed Them Dry: A Ninja Vampire Tale

"Each page raises the stakes (vampire pun intended), and it’s clearly going to have so much to offer in a big way, potentially shaking up the vampire genre. Jump on this one at the start, because it’s something special."

Comics Bookcase

"BLEED THEM DRY just keeps getting better and better.”

Wandering Nerdgirl

“BLEED THEM DRY (issue #1) is the beginning of something great.”

Monkeys Fighting Robots

"This far-future vampire detective story is fantastic. The setting is intriguing. The plot is smart and engaging."

Pop Culture Squad

No One’s Rose

"My first read-through of Vault’s new sci-fi book was admittedly overwhelming, but not in a bad way. The lush, colorful art and the layered futuristic tale stimulate your senses from the word go.... No One’s Rose #1 is a strong start to a very timely story for our world."

Comics Beat

"There should be no surprise that this was an excellent read, since it’s from Vault Comics, and I’ve yet to read anything they’ve put out that I do not like. The story is a well written fresh take on a dystopian vision of the future, full of hope for repairing a world ruined by mankind."

Wandering Nerd Girl

Finger Guns

"Finger Guns #1 has swept its way into my heart. It is a smart and heart-filled look into the emotional cravings and needs of teens. Reminding me of my youth and my personal refuge in music, much like protagonist Wes, I can be sure that most people will find this story relatable."

But Why Tho?

"Finger Guns #5 takes a captivating concept and grounds it so firmly in reality in a way that makes it feel real and as though it has serious consequences. The characters have amazing story arcs. The ending is bittersweet and just a bit hopeful. It’s a very satisfying read."

Major Spoilers

"This is a strongly written and realized coming of age story, made more original with its slight stray into fantasy and science fiction. Touching, delicate, brutal, unforgettable."

The Fanboy Factor

"The fine folk at Vault Comics continue their fantastic form of 2019, with Finger Guns another outstanding comic from Justin Richards and Val Halvorson, that puts two fingers up to its competitors!"

Pipedream Comics

Vagrant Queen: A Planet Called Doom

“Refreshingly, despite all the madcap hijinks, sass and shenanigans, Visaggio’s characters always remain well grounded, compelling and likable. With a fast moving plot and likable protagonist, ‘Vagrant Queen: A Planet Called Doom’ #1 is a solid debut that leaves the future wide open.”

Multiversity Comics

“Elida has to be one of the best characters in the Vault stable, someone you can come back to over and over again because of how much you want to root for her. Furthermore, entering our second volume, I think Visaggio has done a pretty incredible job of making the book new reader accessible […] VAGRANT QUEEN is back and moving ahead with the same Elida we love, the same high level of art that we have come to expect, and a brand new adventure.”

Comics Bookcase

“If you’re into female lead sci-fi, centred around secret royalty this is definitely a series for you.”

Adventures in Bad Taste

The Plot

“The first third of this comic lures readers into a family drama involving two estranged brothers […] There is a great balance between realistic dialogue and unspeakable horror and a cliffhanger that practically demands the reading of the next issue.”

New York Times

"The Plot is a simple tale lifted greatly by a fantastic gothic tone and astounding artwork."

Comic Crusaders

Resonant

"What stands out in RESONANT is how the real horror comes not from the waves, but the other people...The scary moments are amplified by the great character development."

Horror DNA

"This book is amazing. The collected first five issues are a blast and have the knack, the feel, the ‘je-ne-sais-quoi’ to keep us delving in, foraging for entertainment."

Fanboy Factor

Sera and the Royal Stars

"An expertly crafted work by some great talents that knew exactly how to do everything right with it."

Fandom Post

Test

“[TEST is] definitely for readers that enjoyed Transmetropolitan and Private Eye, and the sorts of stories that warn us not only about the decisions that we make, but also the things we believe.”

AV Club

These Savage Shores

“Vault’s series spends much more time with the native culture, showing readers a side of the people often dismissed by the “savage” label.”

The AV Club

“…the mixture of traditional Gothic Horror and Indian mythology works effectively in taking us out of our comfort zone and into a new and intriguing world where nothing is certain and anything can, and probably will, happen..”

Big Comic Page

“Equal parts historical fiction, monster thriller, heart-rending romance. It’s These Savage Shores, the critically-acclaimed new series from Vault Comics that promises to be one of the finer comics experiences you’ll have this year — or, perhaps, any year.”

Doom Rocket

Submerged

“SUBMERGED is a unique story full of beauty, sadness, and at it’s core hope. The characters will absolutely appeal to Latinx readers but at the same time does not limit it to a specific readership. This is a classic story for humanity and it’s written and illustrated beautifully. There is so much submerged below the surface of what’s on the pages that readers are sure to enjoy the journey that the creative team is taking them on.”

Comicosity

“SUBMERGED is a retelling of Orpheus and Eurydice that flips the original myth on its head. The comic relies on vastly different character dynamics and introduces a much more modern setting; however, the beats remain the same. Whether or not you are familiar with the original myth, Submerged will grab your attention from the jump. I suggest you dive right in.”

Comics Beat

“While SUBMERGED is a mini-series, there is certainly enough character and meat here to keep you sustained for its entire run.”

Black Nerd Problems

“this book delivers; there’s groundwork laid here that should pay off down the road, and just enough to hook the reader back for the second issue.”

Graphic Policy

Vagrant Queen

“VAGRANT QUEEN is pure sci-fi adventure to the core that is without a doubt going to become a classic. It immediately drops the reader into an exciting world that begs to be explored and runs them through it at a fun pace. Visaggio and her creative team are producing comic book gold that is easy to fall in love with.”

Comicosity

“At its core, VAGRANT QUEEN is a traditional space scoundrel tale akin to the likes of Firefly, Solo, and the like […] a damn solid book.”

Bleeding Cool

“[VAGRANT QUEEN IS] a good, well-paced story with great art and enough to make you want to come back for another installment.”

Major Spoilers

“VAGRANT QUEEN puts good ol’ fashioned quips and space opera in front of the capital B Big ideas.”

Batman’s Bookcase

“…full of fist fights, gun fights, and word fights, all centered around the main character, a deposed young brown-skinned queen, Elida.”

Black Nerd Problems

“[VAGRANT QUEEN] is another solid entry in Vault’s lineup of sci-fi books.”

All-Comic

Reactor

“…if you ever find yourself wondering where you can find a comic that feels like a summer blockbuster, with all the excitement and humor and drama that comes with it, then REACTOR is it.”

Multiversity Comics

“…a fantastic comic blending horror, sci-fi, and action genres to deliver a truly unique experience.”

Comic Crusader

“This series belongs to that sacred category of pulp fiction that wants nothing more than to excite and entertain […] It’s just old fashioned vampire-killing fun, and I’m glad it exists.”

Doom Rocket

Maxwell’s Demons

“MAXWELL’S DEMONS isn’t an easy comic to read emotionally. It’s the kind of comic where you almost need something else to read afterward, to help cool down, but painful stories exist for a reason. MAXWELL’S DEMONS wouldn’t hurt so much if we didn’t care about Max’s journey.”

The Geeked Gods

“If you’ve ever wanted to know what a Pixar movie directed by David Fincher would look like, I would suggest you take a look at MAXWELL’S DEMONS.”

Multiversity Comics

Spiritus

“A high-minded look at the intersections of violence, corporate exploitation of the individual, and technology, with imaginative art that conveys a sense of robotic and existential dread.”

Batman’s Bookcase

“The early anime robot tech, retro CPU visuals, and bleak military atmosphere all mesh perfectly for a powerhouse debut. SPIRITUS rules.”

Doom Rocket

“There’s a rare smoothness to SPIRITUS that sets it apart from other books, and it proves you need far more than concept alone to sell a story.”

Multiversity Comics

“Although the wraparound cover of Spiritus depicts a woman running side by side with a humanoid robot, I can’t help but be reminded of that feeling you get when looking at the black and red-figure pottery of the ancient Greeks. That feeling of connection to a different time and place. A connection made possible by a team of craftsmen and women working together to take something of function and use it’s form as a foundation to tell their stories […] And like those pots and paintings of ancient days past, this comic book was crafted for more than art’s sake, it serves a purpose. It carries accurate social commentary with Ted Daniel’s words. It holds all the proper emotion thanks to the art and colors of Michael Kennedy. And the message is clear thanks to Lauren Norby’s lettering and balloon styling.”

All-Comic

Alien Bounty Hunter

“Intricate world-building meets a charismatic lead character, who we follow into a compelling and shadowy sci-fi world.”

Batman’s Bookcase

“Come for the story, stay for the incredible visuals.”

Multiversity Comics

“Adrian Wassel and David Booher have put together the penultimate action flick in comic book form.”

The Pullbox

“The writing from Wassel and Booher is absolutely breathtaking […] Pair that with the stellar art work […] and you have an absolute must read comic.”

Comic Hunter

Zojaqan

“Just wow. The art in ZOJAQAN is so gorgeous and unique, depicting a fantasy realm interwoven with visions of our own world. The writing team of Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing […] provide a gorgeous and abstract script that reads like a fevered dream, complete with character development and glimpses of modern tragedies from our own times. This [is] a literary comic with questions about grief and theology, and a total joy for fans of surrealist art.”

Batman’s Bookcase

Failsafe

“Action, drama, or science fiction fans should really enjoy this one.”

The Comic Hunter

Colossi

“COLOSSI from Ricardo Mo, Alberto Muriel, and Stelladia is where Lost and The Twilight Zone meet.”

Spartantown

“COLOSSI is a delightfully strange book that builds a huge world through the smallest details […] COLOSSI #3 is a gorgeously-illustrated installment in a miniseries that blends mystery with sci-fi, horror with comedy, and creates an unusual story perfect for fans of weird series like The Twilight Zone or even campier fare like Are You Afraid of the Dark? […] [It] delivers on all of the spooky surprises you would want, managing to deliver surprisingly real bumps in the night in a visual medium.”

Newsarama

Heathen

“…a wonderfully empowering and exciting new series…”

Spartantown, (on HEATHEN issue #1) 5 out of 5 stars

“Great comics leave you wanting more, replaying what came before, and wishing 30 days would pass in a moment. ‘Heathen’ is that type of fantasy comic, that makes you fall in love with it only to be crushed 20-something pages later with a devastating cliffhanger. Vault Comics just snuck up on the industry with a blockbuster book of their own. Make sure you get HEATHEN so you can say were there from the beginning before it blew up.”

Spartantown, (on HEATHEN issue #2) 5 out of 5 stars

“Buy. These. Books.”

The Court of Nerds, (on HEATHEN issue #3)

“These declarations of self from women and queer characters fit so elegantly into the mythology Alterici uses to weave her tale, it reminds us that these narratives belonged there all along.”

The Mary Sue, (on HEATHEN issue #4)

“Overall, HEATHEN is and has been an excellent series that is highly recommended. The characters that Alterici populates her world with are unique and have heart. The reader will want to enter into the pages and hang out with them. HEATHEN is absolutely one of the best books being made right now. The Verdict: 10/10”

Comicosity, (on HEATHEN issue #6)

“I want epics with female leads, and fortunately HEATHEN fulfills that desire in a big way, while also adding its own unique touch with themes that are as contemporary as they are timeless.”

Women Write About Comics, (on HEATHEN volume #1)

“As a writer, Natasha Alterici has laid down some pretty impressive work. She’s crafted characters that live up to the hype surrounding Nordic myth, people who have very real thoughts and problems, and the courage to face them head on. Now, lest HEATHEN be pegged as being aimed at any one demographic, rest assured that Alterici has covered all bases, managing to represent all manner of folk in her book. . . . All of the clever writing in the world isn’t going to result in a quality comicbook without the art to go with it. No worries there, because as an artist Natasha Alterici has done an outstanding job . . . While there may not be many big action sequences, what there are have been done very well, with an almost cinematic quality . . . Don’t be a twit and write HEATHEN off as a title aimed exclusively at women. It’s a testament that Natasha Alterici was able to weave a story that can be embraced and enjoyed by anyone.”

The Pullbox, (on HEATHEN volume #1)

Fissure

“FISSURE ushers in a new era for Vault Comics with a solid mystery that is driven by characters not solely action. Daniel’s experience is on display as the dialogue is natural, the story involving, and Delpeche’s art is first class. FISSURE as well as Vault are the ones to watch in 2017.”

Spartantown

“The work that Tim Daniel has done here at the beginning of the series is beautiful. It takes no time at all to understand the setting, the characters, and the mood…The artwork from Patricio Delpeche is flawless in this debut issue. With a style that reminds me off Scott Kolins (artist on Flash, the Avengers) this doesn’t have the traditional look and feel of a small Indie comic. This is a work of art that can sit proudly on the shelf next to any other mainstream title and hold its own.”

Comic Crusaders

“I didn’t know what to expect, but I’m impressed, really impressed. FISSURE #1 was a comic that was on my radar but I’m sure it’ll be on too few and they’re missing out on a quality comic. This disaster horror story goes above and beyond in a way to not just entertain, but also reflects on what divides us.”

Graphic Policy

“FISSURE has a terrific pace, working to build the tension with each page turn […] FISSURE is a slow burn that pays off in spades with a breathtaking final-page filled with intrigue and terror. It does the due diligence of establishing the characters and making you care about them before shaking the ground beneath their feet. You’ll be dying to check out the next issue, if for nothing else than to find out what’s in these holes.”

Horror Talk

Fearscape

“The whole book feels and reads like a dark fairy tale. Will Henry step up to the plate and be the hero that the Fearscape needs or will he live down to everyone’s expectations. Whatever the outcome, this story is intriguing.”

Comic Crusaders

“There’s some good depth here, and I’m pleased to see that the Fearscape is adept at regurgitating the archetypes and symbols we’d expect without assembling them into a defined form we’ve seen before […] everything blends together seamlessly.”

Outright Geekery

“Fearscape #2 builds on one of the year’s best debuts to deliver another adventure in metafiction, one perfectly tailored for an indie comic audience. The protagonist’s imposter syndrome is so ugly and sincere that writerly types can’t help but relate, regardless of how painful it becomes, and there’s real honest beauty in that. 9/10”

Batman’s Bookcase

“I liked FEARSCAPE so much I called @JamesTheFourth right after I finished the first issue. Kudos.”

Scott Snyder
