Raves and Reviews
"A perfect fusion of everything great about 80s American horror with a Chanbara movie twist and a healthy respect for the fine art of sequential storytelling."
– Tim Seeley (Revival, Hack/Slash, Batman Eternal)
“SPREAD reminds me of watching horror movies in my parents' basement with a rowdy group of friends, a bag of Cheetos, and a case of beer that we found in the woods.”
– Chris Burnham (Nameless, Batman Incorporated, Officer Downe)
"Just when you think you know what kind of creepy-as-Hell story Jordan, Strahm, and Sobreiro are telling, they shift gears and bring you something that elevates SPREAD to epic levels of apocalyptic horror."
– Cullen Bunn (The Sixth Gun, Helheim)
"Kyle Strahm's art is so f***ing gross and awesome I couldn't wait to see what he was about to draw on the next page. I feel like I need to wash ink off my hands after reading this. Good stuff."
– Skottie Young (Rocket Raccoon, Fortunately the Milk, I Hate Fairyland)
“One read, and I'm infected. Spread gets under your skin in all the right ways. Read this now. Your eyeballs will thank you.”
