You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff
Jun 21, 2023The two features couldnt possibly look much different. The contrast between the two of them makes Tales of Syzspense one of the more unique-looking books to come out so far this year. Both of them seem to have been pulled out of some weird, dreamy, retro corner from a Silver Age that never really existed. Its fascinating stuff. Read Full Review

Comic Watch - Tyler Davis
Jun 26, 2023Tales of Syzpense #1is an interesting anthology, combining classical comic book stories and abstract sequential storytelling. It is definite recommendation if there's room on the pull list for it, but it certainly isn't a book for everyone. However, the people who would enjoy it will really enjoy it, as it in many ways is an artistic masterclass in its attempted oddity. Read Full Review

Jun 21, 2023Creators Chris Ryall and Nelson Daniel meticulously merge humor, action, and the immediately captivating chronicle of Cutler Cartlons exploits into an imaginative and enjoyable endeavor. DreamWeaver #1 is a self aware homage, drawing on classic comic tropes, but trading their often overused origins for an updated take that feels as fresh as it is funny. Teasing as much as it delivers, the story progresses smoothly without any of the over-bloated self importance often found in tales of introspective aging heroes coming to terms with their growing limitations. Will the character follow the comics lead in this? I cant wait to find out. Read Full Review

Jun 21, 2023The first chapters of both stories in Tales of Syzpense #1 didnt entice me enough to run out and add the book to my pull list to see the next chapters. Though the second story is mildly interesting, theres not enough here for me to recommend the book. Read Full Review
