Here’s what some cool folks have said about ThoughtScape Comics…
"ThoughtScape Comics is the quintessential, beautifully packaged and expertly made serialized sci-fi anthology that comics needs right now." -Liana Kangas: Trve Kvlt, She Said Destroy, Black AF: Devil's Dye
"Fantastic, artistically diverse and engaging stories of a cool far future world, all tied together with prodigious panache by writer Matt Mair Lowery. I appreciate the creative use of swearing in the sci fi world of LifeTech." - Farel Dalrymple: THE OFTEN WRONG, Proxima Centauri, IT WILL ALL HURT, Pop Gun War, The Wrenchies, Prophet, Omega the Unknown
"A brilliant and beautiful distillation of the best things in both sci fi short stories and comics! ThoughtScape Comics is as captivating as it is haunting, each story building another cluster of characters and concepts that'll keep you thinking for days to come. I want precisely another 99 issues of this, please."- Ryan K Lindsay - Everfrost, Eternal, Deer Editor
"In rapid, percussive bursts of subversive energy, ThoughtScape tells stories of co-opted thoughts, programmed individualism, and unknown privacy in an infinite universe. Matt Mair Lowery and a startling array of artists have produced a splatter painting of the present in the colors of the future. This is a breath of endorphin-spiked, synthetic pseudo-air pumped in directly from a suffocating hereafter."- George Pendle, journalist and author of Strange Angel: The Otherworldly Life of Rocket Scientist John Whiteside Parsons
“It takes a Herculean effort to develop new comics, especially when you’re going it alone, where you’re responsible for everything from finding the right collaborative talent to handling the logistical nightmares of crowdfunding and fulfillment. And then along comes Matt Mair Lowery, delivering an entire anthology of new work—groundbreaking, thoughtful new stories to make the rest of us look bad. I HATE YOU, MATT MAIRLOWERY!!!”- Eric Palicki, Writer (BLACK’S MYTH, ATLANTIS WASN’T BUILT FOR TOURISTS, NO ANGEL). Ringo-nominated editor (DEAD BEATS, ALL WE EVER WANTED).
“A poignant new sci-fi anthology series, Thoughtscape delivers evocative artwork and does what great science fiction is supposed to, which is make you think.” - Zack Kaplan, Writer, ECLIPSE, PORT OF EARTH, LOST CITY EXPLORERS, JOIN THE FUTURE.
“[ThoughtScape2319] is next level. You're drawn in with the science fiction, but then you get sucker-punched when you realize it's actually a horrifying story.”- Pulp 716, Will Eisner Spirit of Comics Nominee comics retailer, Buffalo/Niagara Falls
