Wayward Volume 1: String Theory arrived in comic shops last week and the response has been incredible. So, so proud of our whole team on this and am overjoyed that current and new readers alike are picking it up and enjoying it. Here’s the response from reviewers so far…
• Amazon.com: “★★★★½”
• Comicosity: “Writer Jim Zub and artist Steve Cummings go above and beyond, in terms of their research for this series, ranging from Tokyo architecture to Japanese ghost lore and history.”
• Forces of Geek: ” Wayward emerges as a coming of age tale about finding one’s own identity as an outsider and adapting to a new world through non-cultural similarities with others, creating a relatable narrative for anyone who has ever had to adapt to a new environment with other people who also are new and/or don’t quite fit in.”
• Geeked Out Nation: 10/10 “Wayward is a fantastic series and this trade is absolutely something you need to pick up. It’s for fans of manga, magic, Japanese culture and kick ass female leads. It features beautiful art and thoughtful back matter. “Wayward” is a winner and easily deserves the title of ‘trade of the month’.”
• Geeks of Doom: “These first five issues do an excellent job of setting up some good ongoing mysteries as well as an interesting cast and a unique setting for everyone to play in.”
• Good Reads: 4/5 “I really enjoyed the first volume of Wayward. It has a lot going for it with an interesting narrative, cool characters, and gorgeous art with even better looking fight scenes.”
• It’s Super Effective: “If you don’t read indy comics and you want to start, read Wayward. It’s my favorite series at the moment. It’s absolutely perfect.”
• Maxx’s Super Awesome Comic Review Show: “They’re really outdoing everyone now. Crushing it.”
• Moar Powah: “the art is fantastic on all fronts. The action is always clear and easy to follow, which works out well for someone who sometimes get confused when it comes to reading panels”
• Pop Matters: 8/10 “Wayward is well worth a read – let’s hope this one sticks around for a while.”
• Starburst: 8/10 “Cummings’ art is pleasantly detailed, right down to the background kanji, which gives Japanese speakers hints and clues on the plot.”
