Critics Review
“The premise is original and their various adventures are fascinating… Artist Leomacs certainly elevates the piece with perfectly tone-matched artwork in a vibrant palette and dynamic page layouts… An engaging, entertaining journey, especially for fans of classic sci-fi.”– “BOOKLIST”
“A thoughtful and humorous psychedelic science-fiction romp, elevated by Winters’s sharp characterization. Recommended for readers interested in metafictional tales about the cost of artistic ambition.”– “Library Journal”
“Benjamin is cosmically brilliant. You have never been on a trip like this.” –Lev Grossman (The Magicians, The Bright Sword)
“A sci-fi mind-bender… For fans of cerebral high-concept science fiction, this series is quickly becoming essential reading. It is a true standout among the many latest comic releases… A must-read story.– “Comic Book Addicts”
”[Benjamin’s] got heart, laughs, and enough of that classic pulp fiction to easily keep readers around.” – “Comics Beat”
“A vivid, thought-provoking debut that explores identity, friendship, and sci-fi legacy with a surreal wink and stellar artwork… Leomacs is putting in his best work yet. Known for his incredible horror books like Basketful of Heads, the art is highly detailed, expressive, and beautifully colored by Luca Bertele. … It’s safe to say comics like this don’t come around very often, and publishers like Oni Press are the scant few who would publish it.”– “AIPT”
“Expect the unexpected is an understatement with Benjamin. Winters crafts a tale of defiance and delusion via the mind of Benjamin J. Carp. Leomacs, Bertelè and Carey give readers multiple exciting visions of an ever-evolving world. Buckle in for what is sure to be a one-of-a-kind experience.”– “Nerd Initiative”
“The interior work [is] as close to the label of ‘masterpiece’ as possible in terms of quality.”– “Comicon.com”
