You Still Love EGOs!
Right now! Go to Twitter
and follow @EGOsComicZero. In a little over a week, you’ll get something
amazing. Fingers crossed.
Meanwhile, pardon our pride as we bathe in the incredible
praise for EGOs, like Scrooge McDuck in his money bin:
“Pairing casual,
inviting narration with a quickly paced story balancing action and exposition
makes this a highly entertaining and accessible debut, and that final twist
boosts the momentum into overdrives to promise a thrilling journey ahead.”
- Oliver Sava & Matt D. Wilson, The
A.V. Club
“An entertaining story that leaves me
wanting more… A solid debut that introduces a nice cast, a solid villain, and a
lot of questions that I’m more than willing to continue to read.”
-Patrick
Hayes, SciFi Pulse
“Moore and Storms have created an
immediately interesting comic book with potentially intriguing characters in
what I hope will continue to be an interesting and original story.”
-Ian
Simpson, Geek
Syndicate
“By the end of this first issue, you are left with a decent
understanding of the past; a general direction moving forward; and a feel for
the characters. From what I’ve read, there is sure to be plenty of
death, action and adventure−hopefully in that order. Final
words: I dig it.”
-jEZ,
First Comics News
“The first issue was
a pacey, stimulating little package that sits very nicely alongside other Image
titles such as Manhattan Projects, Jupiter's Legacy and Prophet. If it
maintains its quality, it deserves to do well.”
-Tom Murphy, Full-Page
Bleed
“EGOs
#1 isn’t a perfect book, but it is ambitious. It is a superhero sci-fi space
opera in a semi-dystopian future, and instead of being a mess, it is actually
pretty cool…Give it a shot.”
“A fun trip into the
future of super science and dimension hopping. Moore has written an engaging
and witty intro into this new world. Artist Gus Storms does an excellent job
with his layouts and pacing. He has a simple, scratchy style reminiscent
of Nick Pitarra’s work on The Manhattan Projects. For his first comic book
work, not too shabby at all.”
-Guy Copes III, God
Hates Geeks
“EGOs
#1 is gearing up to be something that requires total
commitment on the part of the reader, but the reward will be well worth it.”
-Jonathan
Pilley, Omnicomic

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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“I couldn’t have been more thrilled with the engaging
beginning to a hopefully fantastic series…Bring on issue two!”
“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.”

particular story is headed."
