COMIC BOOK BIN:

“Somehow, it all ends up feeling like a harmonious collusion between Requiem for a Dream and Naked Lunch. It has all the beat earmarks of a Burroughs epic, but also the resounding emotionality needed to bring it back down to earth”

“After we read Ballistic, we were blown away not just by the insane creativity of the setting, but the detail — it’s a world so fully-realized it’s like writer Adam Egypt Mortimer and artist Darick Robertson are secretly living there… It will be one of the most fun, unique sci-fi comics of the year.”
BLOODY DISGUSTING:

““Ballistic” is one of the best premiere issues I’ve ever read. A true homerun on every level that is impossible to put down. Don’t miss this book…The entire thing feels very Cronenberg-esque, and is truly own of the most original takes on the future put to print. The tone is serious and funny at the same time.
“Butch’s journey is engaging and entertaining. The world is unlike anything else, and the art is nothing short of amazing. The tone is haunting and charming, and the book is irresistible.”
“Every meticulous detail of this world has been thought out. Mortimer and Robertson have gone to great lengths to create something unavailable anywhere else. “
““Ballistic” gets everything right by explaining the world in an interesting fashion while showing how the world works. The main character is so engaging that the entire book is irresistible to put down. I’ve been singing this series’ praise ever since I got my eyes on this issue and I urge everyone to pick it up.”
GEEKSCAPE:
“Ballistic ranks among the best premiere issues that I have read in a long time. The book is violent, irreverent, and completely absurd, and I can’t recall the last time I’ve experienced such a fantastic mixture of those three things.”
BIFF BAM BOP:
“This tour de force is something pretty amazing–it’s entirely unique. How often do we get that in comics?”
GEEKS UNLEASHED:

“Well this came out of nowhere. And it floored me. Ballistic #1 is an intelligent comic book rendered in brilliant, gruesome Technicolor, with plenty of healthy swearing and violence. It treads a fine balance between clever ideas and lowest-common denominator themes. It is one of the best new comics I have read this year and I strongly urge you to pick it up.”
COMIC EXECUTION:

“The story and setting are equally intoxicating, charming you with a warmly familiar everyman narrator and his misadventures, accompanied by the witty repartee of Bang Bang the gun. Their interplay is one of the best things here in terms of character interaction”
“Warren Ellis didn’t have this much energy invested in his Transmetropolitan world. Can’t believe I’m saying that, but it’s true; “
“Ballistic is impossible. Robertson and Mortimer are two very different creative forces that’ve somehow managed to reconcile their differing perspectives of the story to create a comic unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. It has to be seen to be believed.”

FAMOUS MONSTERS:

“It’s both terrifically disturbing and scientifically fascinating in its implications. “
” it’s all visceral and absolutely pulsating with life—from a futuristic brain-bong to a spider silk webshooter formed from Gun’s green barf. Sound nuts? Oh, it is. In the best possible way.”
