"At times somber, haunting, perplexing and ultimately consoling, this book drops us into the rabbit hole of memory and explores how the editing suite of our minds can shape us, break us and hopefully renew us." -David Dastmalchian

Mazebook is moving along well and while it may be following what feels like a traditional path, it's the characters and trappings that are making it engaging. In addition to the great artwork. Lemire always puts himself into some interesting projects that feel like a different kind of passion project when he does the artwork for it and this one really clicks well with the cast and age of the characters here. I love the slower pace and lengthier page count in order to give it room to breathe so that an issue doesn't feel like it ends too quickly or is too rushed with what it has to do. I'm eager to see what's next but am still wary of what's really happening here. Read Full Review
I think I've already said that Mazebook is "peak-Jeff Lemire," but that's something that becomes more apparent with each passing issue. Read Full Review
This book is a dream.
Continues to amaze (pun intention is optional). In seriousness, Lemire’s writing continues to be impeccable, the art is still gorgeous, yet almost violently drawn and colored, which adds such a deep layer to the book that gives it such emotional weight. This is one of the most consistently great books of the year.
Probably the weakest issue in terms of plot. It does, however, feels like it put some pieces into play that are needed.
