Reviews / Votes
"A Robocop-esque satire where actual warfare becomes a game."-The Oregonian "Each page of this comic looks like the cover of a classic science
fiction pulp, grabbing you outright by way of its bold artwork."
-Nerdist "A smart mix of Ribic's gorgeous art and outright pulp
that's a lot of fun." -Uproxx "A comic that cranks its core conceits, violence and black humor,
right up to eleven and ensures no reader will be able to ignore its twisted
beginning." -ComicBook.com "VS marches to the beat of its own drum...both rare and invigorating
to find a book that's able to cultivate and repurpose it's
influences while still making a case for its own existence."
