Horror DNA - James Ferguson
Nov 14, 2017Evolution is Cronenberg-level horror. It's creepy and disturbing and I can't wait to see where it's going. When it was first announced, I said that it was my most anticipated comic of the year. I'm happy to say that it paid off in spades. Do yourself a favor and read this book. Read Full Review

Comicosity - Chris Campbell
Nov 15, 2017Overall, this is a definite must read book. The writers' group, artist, colorist, and letterer have all come together into a terrific collaboration of storytelling. Some parts may make you want to turn away but the creators have engineered Evolution into attention grabbing addiction. Dont be afraid of the story, but do be afraid of missing out on it.

Capeless Crusader - Jeremy Radick
Oct 31, 2017Combining apocalyptic horror, body horror and an atmosphere of dread, Evolution #1 combines the darkest versions of science with a shadowy, sinister suggestion of the supernatural. The result is a top-notch and unsettling debut boasting a solid structure, good characterization, and evocative, organic art. Like the best horror, the issue takes a strong theme and explores it viscerally, in this case positing a world in which the normal rate of evolution itself has begun to spiral dangerously out of control. But the skill of the creators at melding that concept with engaging characters takes the issue from simply an intriguing debut to a compelling opening chapter for a squishy horror epic with a lot of promise.

Nov 15, 2017Overall, I found Evolution #1 to be an edgy and intense introduction to this series. The story is original and the art is beautifully detailed, aptly suiting this story. The creators of this comic have my attention, and I'm keen to follow this story to find out more about this apocalypse, and how the world is going to end. Read Full Review

Nov 15, 2017I have no idea where this is going but I'm on board and what's set up is an intriguing concept. While it's not unique it is done in a way that teases the mystery and ups the anticipation of what's to come. Read Full Review

Doom Rocket - Brendan Hodgdon
Nov 17, 2017There's no doubt that the creative team of Evolution is in for the long haul here, and I hope they get the chance to tell their complete story. It'd be hard not to be intrigued by what they've shown us so far" and perhaps just as importantly, what they have to show us yet. Evolution #1 is a rich piece of epic horror. Everyone should find out for themselves how great it is. Read Full Review

Geeked Out Nation - Jideobi Odunze
Nov 15, 2017Evolution #1 kicks off the new global phenomenon that you don't want to sleep on. Some will tell you that you should welcome change, not fear it, but Evolution from the start will tell you that there is plenty to fear when you are talking about real change. The kind that will change every life forever. Read Full Review

Comic Bastards - Cat Wyatt
Nov 15, 2017Alright, I know I've probably talked your ear off about this issue as it is (Can you tell I love Lovecraft and anything that has even the smallest bit to do with it?) but I'd like to take a minute to talk about the artwork. I love that the artist did something slightly different from standard for graphic novels " the lines and edges aren't clean, sometimes they even give the illusion of cross hatching. I love this because it really helped to make the world seem more real, and as a bonus it stood out more on the shelves too. Read Full Review

This is a really strong first issue that effectively sets up the concept, poses questions and begins to deliver some answers. In many regards this is a model for other writers to refer to; often first issues pose questions, but to begin delivering answers as well, while still leaving plenty of interest for future issues is the mark of a writer of quality. The comic doesn't suffer from the common problem of not really knowing what is going on. The use of multiple locations is also effective in establishing the scale of the evolution problem, and is deftly handled by writer and artist together. Despite the many threads to the plot, none of them feel under-developed, and characters feel real and interesting. The artwork is great, effecti more

This is a good first issue. There are some disturbing scenes and revelations right from the get go. The heavy line work gives it the added dark and gritty feel to round out this twisted book. Good stuff.
