    All Against All #1 is an incredibly well thought out, beautifully rendered sci-fi debut that takes an alternative view of humanity through Alien eyes while smartly commenting on very human themes, spinning a hardcore gritty, grisly sci-fi thriller brought to life with a distinctively punk-flavored art style that is as irresistible to the eye as a stacked pile of candy to a child.

    Caspar and Paknadel draw you into this curious sci-fi world and shake you with a flesh-frazzled visceral grip. Introducing an alien race that feels incredibly original and fresh, there's a lot here to enjoy besides the enjoyable action. There's a carnal violence in All Against All not to be missed.

    Lotusland Comics - Hank Rea Dec 7, 2022

    'All Against All' offers the type of intelligent sci-fi drama usually associated with 'Star Trek' in that, science and research are given equal weight to the unpredictability of violent primal instincts. It's a balancing act of creating a logical foundation for the story with some badass visceral conflict. It's the perfect right-brain, left-brain storytelling that'll get your synapses popping.  Read Full Review

    While science fiction comics are a dime a dozen these days, genuinely interesting sci-fi is a far rarer beast. And, as I had hoped from the moment I heard the creative team for this new series, All Against All has the potential to become something something truly memorable.
