Danny dips further into the imaginary world. He believes he's unable to interact with its inhabitants, but he finds solace in the absurdity of creativity despite the solitude his power brings.

    I don't know what to say, other than kudos and massive props for this work of art. This type of comic shows us that it's not all about explosions, fight scenes, blood, or even jokes (which, by the way, Szymon even manages to throw in a couple of jokes here and there to ease your tension), but that a story can also be sad and downright profound and still be just as captivating as the superhero flavor of the week. The lettering by DC Hopkins is great, the art is wonderful, and the writing is amazing. The cover leaves a little to be desired, but overall, this really is something epic. Read Full Review

    Something Epic continues to parallel the harsh realities we have all been forced to face from time to time and the characters we use to help us escape those stressors made manifest. Szymon Kudranski provides one of the most intelligently crafted commentaries on how we as people navigate this thing called life that I have ever seen. Read Full Review

    "Something Epic stands unrivaled in its brilliance, truly exemplifying the art of storytelling. It cuts deep, evoking a plethora of emotions within its pages, and may appear slow-paced. However, this is not a sprint; it's a book meant to be savored and enjoyed. Take your time with it, and relish every second. There's so much more I could say, but I fear it would detract from the brilliance of Szymon Kudranski. In conclusion, you will not find anything in this world that can truly compare to "Something Epic; quite simply put, it is peerless. Read Full Review

    You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff Jun 14, 2023

    Kudraski is taking his time with the story. There may be a lot of jumping around through the patchwork psyche of Danny, but theres a definite rhythm to his progression through the major events of the series thus far. If Kudraski were to move any more quickly through Dannys life than he has been in the course of the first couple of issues, Dannys creative life would feel more or less totally indecipherable. The erratic nature of Dannys interior life demands a slow and determined march. Given enough time, Kudraski could build Something Epic into a major coming-of-age story.  Read Full Review

    Perhaps those internal monologues that read like essays will become more relevant as Something Epic reveals more about the rules and secrets of the imaginary world and Danny's increasingly dangerous relationship with it, making them more than curious, if at least refreshingly personal, sidetracks.
