Once Crowded Sky

An exciting post-millennial conflict allegory, which echoes the terror of Alan Moore's writing for Watchmen while sidestepping out of its shadow. --The A.V. Club An original, assured debut . . . Impossible to put down. --Library Journal Everything we love about comics -- origin tales, a worthy villain, team-ups...conspiracies, super technology, disgraced heroes, redeemed villains -- it's all here. And it's a fun read. --Wired.com Beyond postmodern, complex in conception . . . relevant to the graphic-novel, video-gaming generation. --Kirkus Reviews A more literary - and literate - novel, making effective use of the present tense to add urgency to the tale, and creates characters that are agreeably complex. 'A Once Crowded Sky' also benefits from the black-and-white comic book-style illustrations by Tom Fowler that help readers visualize these unfamiliar heroes. --Tulsa World King presents us with a story that subtly questions our ideas of humanity and heroism. The tale moves quickly and fluidly... an incredible page-turner. --The Charleston Post and Courier Ultimately a story of wonder, and of redemption. . . . At its core, this is a story about humanity, told from the perspective of simultaneously the most and the least human of us all. --Spencer Daily Reporter, IA In a summer swimming in comic book inspired blockbusters, perhaps the most visionary tale in a generation won't be found in either a multiplex or the local comic book shop but rather nestled in the shelves of your local book retailer. --Fandompost.com
