I love the art in this issue. There is always something happening throughout the pages and panels and there are entire background sequences that are as compelling as the foreground action. The scenes in the bar with the couple in the booth behind Ashley are fantastic and I had to go over pages again and again to capture everything. Read Full Review

As this is only the opening pray for this series, it's difficult to tell exactly what direction that they're going to take it. Honestly, they could just keep expanding the ensemble and looking at this situation and this parade of crises from multiple different people within the contact. However, it would be really tragic if. Camp and company didnt focus more on Ashley. Shes just a really, really cool character. Read Full Review

So I have no clue how this flew under my radar—but I’m so glad the guys at my local comic book store recommended it to me. Assorted Crisis Events #1 is the kind of first issue that doesn’t gently introduce itself. Deniz Camp throws you into the deep end of a collapsing world with a script that reads like a fusion of Grant Morrison’s cosmic density and Guy Ritchie’s sharp, quick-talking street smarts. Every page pulses with chaotic brilliance, but it’s never incoherent. It moves—fast, weird, and smart. What hit hardest was how grounded and raw the main character felt, even while navigating a dystopian, apocalyptic world where time itself is broken. You can feel she’s completely fed up—emotionally and physically draine d from trying to function in a reality that’s constantly rewriting itself. When she shows up to work only to discover this version of the universe never had her in it? Brutal. And by the end, when she just gives up—not with anger but with exhaustion—you don’t just understand her. You are her. It’s a quiet, devastating moment that sticks with you. Time displacement is notoriously tricky in comics—usually a hit-or-miss mechanic—but Camp leans in with confidence. Here, it’s not just clever sci-fi; it’s a metaphor for identity erosion, for trying to keep a grip on who you are when the world won’t stop shifting under your feet. Eric Zawadzki’s art is the visual glue holding this chaos together. There’s a perfect balance in how his layouts carry the weight of dense worldbuilding, shifting realities, and personal emotion without ever overwhelming the page. His characters are expressive, the environments feel hostile and strange, and the tension hums visually in every panel. I’d absolutely recommend this to anyone who loves comics—especially readers who appreciate ambitious storytelling that’s not afraid to challenge you. Assorted Crisis Events is wild, relentless, and painfully relatable—exactly the kind of sci-fi we need right now. more

The concept is easy to get you going into Deniz Camp Assorted Crisis universe. Although its not communicated as a universe, you can see the potential. Anything is possible and it's kinda all over the place: time, distraction, cuts, life and drama. That is a lot of fun, but also something to get use to. All-round a strong first issue and Deniz lives up to his promise! The next few issue will decide if this is a series has any potential to become a big Image title.

A super intriguing start, even if I didn't enjoy it as much as many other seem to have. First and foremost, Camp does a really nice job of building this time-scattered world throughout the issue, and I think it's something that could definitely be explored further. Zawadzki's art compliments everything nicely, as well. My main gripe here is that things just felt like they were jumping around a lot. This may be, at least, one of the points, but it just doesn't entirely work for me, personally. I still really liked this overall, though.

this was a good issue, if not a bit all over the place with a lot of time mumbo jumbo that may turn readers off. I don't say this often, but Jordie Bellaire is my definitive colorist.

I found Issue 1 meandering and a bit too easily satisfied with itself, a bit glib, which is not a trait I would have expected from Camp. I still want to know more about this world, but my excitement has dropped considerably for Issue 2.
