Intersect is vastly different than anything you've read before. Completely breaking away from traditional comics, Fawkes shows you what is capable in this medium. It's stories like these that pave the way for other original stories and ideas to follow. Read Full Review

A harrowing psychological drama, "Intersect" tears at the most basic components of the of the human experience. It's uncomfortable and oddly terrifying. The pacing of the story, with its constant twists and turns, never allows readers to get comfortable. It is an incredibly disorienting experience, robbing us of the truths we cling to in order to define ourselves. Fawkes presents a reality that betrays the most essential elements of identity and understanding. This is a difficult book, but it rewards those who are willing to lose themselves in it. Highly imaginative and beautifully rendered, "Intersect" #1 challenges preconceptions and gets under the skin of the audience. Read Full Review

To try and predict where this story is going to go is nearly impossible, which is its biggest asset in my opinion. I want to continue reading simply because any storyline I can dream up is most likely not right and wouldn't even come close to what will probably happen. The artwork is unique and emotional, which is always a plus in my world. I say definitely give Intersect #1a go. Read Full Review

Incredibly confusing, but in a good way Read Full Review

Intersect is like nothing out there. If you are looking for something different that will take you to a world you haven't seen, I think Image has your answer. Fawkes has a lot in store for this story, so jump on this comic for pure fascination. Read Full Review

The absolute best thing about the issue however is the art which manages to be as beautiful as it is chilling. The type of horror in this book relies heavily on ideas like body distortion and other unsettling things which the art has in spades. It manages to be highly creepy in the best possible way. From a story-telling standpoint the art is also masterful, it was initially just as confusing to me as the writing, but when you take a step back it tells a very good story and is an excellent part of the experience. Its hard to describe but seems similar to the Dave McKean style of art. The design of the book also manages to be highly creative and unique, the last few pages of the book definitely intrigued me and made me want to read more in an attempt to solve some of this books mysteries.

"Intersect" #1 isn't for everyone. It requires some work on the part of the reader, as well as some faith that Fawkes' vision will pay off into something moderately comprehensible given enough time. For now, though, there's enough to want to come back for a second issue. Read Full Review

Look, this is one of those books where the writer grips you by confusing you, making you want to come back for another hit in a month. At first I wasn't feeling the story, but, the more I think of it, it's dreariness and sense of urgency is something that I'm not currently seeing among comics right now. Read Full Review

This isn't a review and this isn't really a comic you've ever seen something like before. I don't know how to be objective about this honestly. Ignore the score at the bottom of this page, it means nothing. It's either for you, or it isn't. It's avant garde, daring and haunting but also broken, weightless and flighty. It's up to you to decide. Read Full Review

Fawkes art is ethereal and haunting, painting a turbulent dreamscape with an eye few in the industry these days possess. While Intersect is far from unreadable though, the art is clearly stronger than the writing. Read Full Review

Intersect is clouded in both its tone and storytelling which can make for both a good or bad read. This series is going to be one that can only be judged by the eye of each reader. Where I may have found it somewhat difficult to follow, I could also see where others might enjoy this type of story. Intersect reflects a rare type of storytelling you don't normally see in the comics medium. Curious readers may want to read it and judge for themselves. Read Full Review

Intersect #1 leaves a lot of unanswered questions, and though that in a way is expected from an opening issue, it does so in a rather frustrating way. It's surreal tone does on the other hand allow for some enthralling moments, that make me want to return for another issue. Due to this the issue scrapes by with a half hearted recommendation. Read Full Review

Despite these narrative misgivings, there is certainly enough in this first issue of Intersect to warrant a second foray into Fawkes' world. While the fragments presented here are not enough to gain a complete impression, they certainly tease enough to want to see more pieces and perhaps even participate in assembling the full portrait.

In spite of the books unorthodox feel, I'm inclined to keep reading this series, if only to get a better idea of just what the hell is happening. I'd recommend this to those more into experimental fiction than traditional comics; hardcore fanboys may find this horror story a little hard to swallow. Read Full Review

Somewhat disappointed with Intersect #1. That said, I'm not compelled to pick up the next issue. Perhaps when a trade comes out, things might make a lot more sense. I'm just not going to wait a month to see what happens in the next issue. Read Full Review

At the beginning of the review I said that only if I were in the same room would I understand what was going on in this comic, but, honestly I feel even if the author was right there sitting in front of me I still wouldn't get it. Because I dont think he wants me to get it. Doing something avant garde always allows you to bat criticisms away because the plebeians dont get it. But Ive always felt that it's easy to do your own thing, write your own story the way you want. Whats hard is making a connection through your artwork, making a connection across time and space and personal beliefs is the ultimate success of any artwork. The only way I could recommend Intersect #1 is if you are truly the type of person to which the phrase stream of conscious sounds appealing. If you are willing to go along with a writer just to see what happens then maybe Intersect will pan out for you. Personally I wont be along for the ride. Read Full Review

The main issue with the comic is how inaccessible it is on the first read. You have to go back and reread it several times to get a semblance of what's going on. Usually, there's nothing wrong with having to go back for one or two rereading, especially if you feel compelled to. The fact is, with Intersect, you won't. There's not enough information " obvious or otherwise " conveyed that can be gleaned from the first read through expected of anyone picking up a comic book. Read Full Review

Challenging first issue. I don't care for the art, although is perfect for the "story" here, just not my thing. Feels a bit pretentious in that artsy fartsy just for the sake of it sense. Will continue reading for a few more issues to see if a narrative takes shape or characters emerge in any meaningfully identifiable way. Not at the top of my pull list.

What. Did. I. Just. Read? I'm not sure what this is about or even the story after reading Intersect. All I know is...it's not for me. The one positive is I like the Jeff Lemire cover option it had.
