  Comic Crusaders - Johnny Hughes

  This book is a fantastic read. Yes there are a number of very clear influences in play: The Matrix, Monsters Inc and Cabin in the Woods all have a part within the issue. That said, Guy is the hero of the book. He is an everyman, a person we could all be at any point in our lives. This means his failures and failings are our failures and failings. It also means that his success, his realizations are also ours and allow Guy and ourselves, by connection, to overcome and endure. Read Full Review

  Comic Bastards - Austin Lanari

  Jul 08, 2015

  Ultimately this sad tale becomes a love story wrapped in a monster story: a dangerous liaison that lives up to its name, surely. There is something really triumphant aboutNegative Space#1 and its ability to mix together so many genres without stepping away from such a simple and sad story. That all of this was achieved within a first issue borders on upsettingly fantastic. Read Full Review

  The art for the book is well-suited for its story. Detailed and mesmerizing, the art captures the emotions and feel of the book in a unique way. The colors are well-matched to each scene and the characters are realistically varied. The book features people of all shapes, sizes,and colors. Each character has a physical appearance that is reminiscent of his or her personality. I applaud the artist, as the art is one of the most important factors in keeping the reader engaged in the story.Negative Spaceis one of the most engaging books I have read as of recent, and I recommend all FGS readers to go out and pick it up. I, for one, have already added it to my pull list. Read Full Review

  Horror DNA - James Ferguson

  Jun 12, 2015

  Negative Space is a damn near perfect first issue.  It's a comic that grabs you with a helluva hook and never lets go.  You're instantly pulled into this world and intrigued by the conspiracy that's lurking just beneath the surface.  This coupled with the strong and emotional character development makes it a must read. It's definitely not your average horror story, and that's what makes it so special. Read Full Review

  This first issue is a dark, gritty book that toys with your emotions and perceptions. It’s well written and intriguing and, it shows no sign of stopping now as Guy heads down a dark, twisted and conspiracy-laden path with very real monsters waiting for him at the end. Read Full Review

  Overall, this is a surprisingly affecting study of depression, masquerading as a fascinating sci-fi tale. Part 1984, part The Truman Show, and thoroughly enjoyable, this well worth picking up if youre after something completely different for your pull list this month. Read Full Review

  Newsarama - Pierce Lydon

  Jul 07, 2015

  Negative Space is another great comic book from a couple of creators who should soon be household names. It's a combination of a big concept relating to a smaller idea and strong execution that makes this one hold up. Lindsay and Gieni are a great team with strengths that definitely complement each other. It feels a little bit like this will read better as whole work, not broken down into individual issues but this is a strong start. Read Full Review
