“Material” is not going to be for everyone, that's for certain. The zine-inspired, stripped down attitude to art that favours substance over style and raw emotional over commercial packaging means that this is an abrasive kind of comic that is not going to sit well with everyone. It's a comic with an agenda. It's a method through which Ales Kot, Will Tempest and Tom Muller can yell their frustrations with the world into the void and hope it can connect with someone. And I can say it connected with me. Despite everything that should be held against this book, I am swept up in the emotions poured into each page. The heart that went into creating this work as a way of looking at the world around us and wanting change what we see is palpable. “Material” is a gut punch of a comic book. It's a molotov cocktail smashing against a riot shield. It's tear gas on a main street. It's a riot. And not the fun kind. Read Full Review

It's certainly good. Although this book hasn't won me over quite as quickly as some of Ales's other works, I'm definitely enjoying it more as it progresses. Read Full Review

Simplistic, classic art with an upgraded look, nice colour choices and lack of to show extreme emotions, story is a little lacking. Read Full Review

Kot's stuff is hit and miss, this is a hit for me.
