You Love EGOs!



And we love you! The response to issue #1 has been simply stunning; we are beyond overwhelmed—we are uber-whelmed. Here’s a sample of what the reviewers are saying:

“Stuart Moore and Gus Storms' EGOs #1 is ballsy and super fun with plenty of edge as it takes superheroes and sci-fi, grabs them by the lapels and throws them out on the street, but all in love. This is a great mix of superheroes and sci-fi that feels smart and new and I cannot wait to see where they go from here.”
            -Kelly Thompson, Comic Book Resources (5 star review)

“EGOs is an ambitious sci-fi story. There is a lot going on, but the story is unlike anything I am reading right now. The characters and their relationships are funny and entertaining. The villain is powerful and a real threat to the universe. This comic has all the elements that any sci-fi fan would want in one book.”
            -Victor Rojas, Eat Geek Play

EGOs has to be the nicest surprise for me this week. It’s a fun yet weighty beginning to an adventure that will undoubtedly explore an aging hero’s tenuous grasp of relevance and respectability, his willingness to justify ends over means and what that will hold for a universe under the threat of truly cosmic peril, all brought to life visually by a very talented relative newcomer.”
            -Steve Paugh, Comic Bastards

“Moore’s script is evenly balance with characterization, mystery, and action to make this series’ debut a strong one. Newcomer artist Gus Storms’ cartoony style is fits this sci-fi story well; his characters are full of emotion and his pencils have a quirky, fun look.”
            - Chris Romero, Geeks Unleashed

“Image seems to be firing on all cylinders lately with what feels like an exciting new series getting launched each and every month.  EGOs continues that trend with a first issue that’s extremely entertaining and takes you in a direction at the end that I just didn’t see coming.”
            -Shawn Hoklas, Comic Spectrum

“The first issue gets off to a nice start and lays the foundation for a really interesting story. Both solid story and art that brings back a really good science fiction story in comics. Recommended.”
            -Steven Howearth, Pop Culture Maven

“I couldn’t have been more thrilled with the engaging beginning to a hopefully fantastic series…Bring on issue two!”
            -Alex Rupp, Nothing But Comics

“Get to your shop now if you haven’t already and pick up EGOs #1. It has a fantastic story delivered through pitch-perfect writing and magnificent artwork from a great new industry talent.”
            -Joey Caswell, All-Comic
