Now it's up to his social media manager, Anne Stewart, to fan the flames of outrage and create a sensationalist campaign that rewrites the rules of "banned content."

Jan 05, 2021I have to be 100% honest that at the end of the first issue I have absolutely no idea where Thompson is taking us on this nightmare fuelled ride, but honestly, I dont care at this point because I am absolutely and irrevocably hooked. This is not a new thing for me, Zac Thompson has a fantastic ability to give the reader just enough in delivering a first issue that gives nothing away, but guarantees that you will pick up the second one without thinking twice. And trust me, youre definitely going to want to pick up the second issue of this one! Read Full Review

Jan 20, 2021Despite my trypophobia, I Breathed a Body #1 is an intriguing start of a series. There's a lot to chew on for a comic that clearly has something to say. Things will be interesting to see where they go from here and what exactly is on these creator's minds. Read Full Review

Spartantown - Enrique Rea
Jan 22, 2021'I Breathed a Body' #1 is an impressive debut issue that forces us to look at society's obsession with social media and its influence with both a figurative and literal lens as inherently evil. The machinations behind one such influencer and the dangers that entail. With a killer art team, Thompson has once again put together a smart and wickedly conceived cautionary tale of horror and commentary that recalls David Cronenberg mixed with Philip K. Dick.

Weird yet intriguing story about a social media influencer. Not sure where this is going but I'll probably pick up the next issue. Great cover art, but the interior art hasn't won me over just yet. Has anyone read Thompson's "Lonely Receiver"? What's it like?

It started off a little confusing for me. The first few pages are going to need explained and the girl Anne seemed to switch up demeanor early on, but it gained traction throughout and ended on a total cliffhanger that forces you to want the 2nd issue.
