Editorial Reviews

"Like a bleak Ready Player One, Thumbs is a visual and emotional tour de force—intense, gritty, and intelligent. This series is not to be missed." —Michael Moreci, Wasted Space, Black Star Renegades, Flash

“What the #$@% did I just read? I think Sean and Hayden just ushered in a brand-new subgenre in apocalypse fiction. This is hands down the freshest, coolest, most unique Sci-Fi I’ve read in the past decade. Absolutely brilliant!!” —Doug Wagner, Plastic, The Hard Place, Arkham Origins

“More Nia and Thumbs, please. I loved this. It reminds me of first seeing Terminator 2 in the theater. It's dark and tense. One moment I'm tense and terrified of this techno-dystopia, and the next I'm hyped for the promise of spectacular action.” —Jeffrey Cranor, Welcome to Nightvale

"Gorgeous, high-octane cutting-edge social SF adventure. Blade Runner meets OMAC meets Sin City meets I dunno, Pink Floyd’s THE WALL." —Kurt Busiek

“Thumbs is speculative fiction at its best, a gunmetal meditation on a generation of youth abandoned to television and devices, it weaponizes helicopter parenting to present a vibrant vision of a cultural moment one part Ready Player One and one part Generation Kill.” —Steve Orlando, Martian Manhunter, Midnighter, Batman/Shadow

"Drop your local store a note and tell them you're going to want to see a copy. Sean Lewis is a clever writer, and I think Hayden Sherman is one of the great new artists of the last few years." —Warren Ellis
