Yeah, we said it. Had to do it once. Because, honestly, with twelve hours to go, things really are getting... time sensitive!

Massive career milestone today: our first REVIEW for "Time Sensitive" just dropped at The Beat — and it’s glowing. 🥹

“A rapid-fire sci-fi mystery comic of the highest order… kinetic artwork, great characters, and pacing that can’t be over-praised for how well it draws readers through the book.”
