'What's The Furthest Place From Here' #1 is a fun but powerful work of storytelling from a team of creatives at the height of their powers. Rosenberg, Boss, and Otsmane-Elhaou put together an irresistible mix of High Fidelity meetsMad Max that stylistically stands alone. So put on The Stooges (or Hall & Oates, we won't tell) and enjoy this marvelous new title. Read Full Review

If I had to choose one album to show me as a character it would be the 1991 KLF White Room, I wonder what that actually says about me as a person. Back to the issue though this is as good as it gets hilariously bizarre script with top in class artwork and lettering. Read Full Review

My favorite #1, and maybe just the best comic I have read all year. Read Full Review

What's the Furthest Place from Here is a wild, music-infused ride through a pubescent post-apocalypse that is sure to take a primary spot on your pull list. The band is back together with Boss and Rosenberg, and this twist-filled yarn ain't nothing but a good time. Read Full Review

Whats The Furthest Place From Here? #1 is a wonderful first issue. Rosenberg, Boss, and Otsame-Elhaou work together beautifully, creating a world that sucks readers in and leaves them begging for more, like a great 7-inch. Itll be great to see how this album, as the metaphor goes, plays out. Read Full Review

This is a gorgeous and sweet coming-of-age story set in an apocalypse that has taken adults out of the picture. A nearly perfect must-read. Read Full Review

Another banger of a first issue from Image Comics then, as Rosenberg and Boss effortlessly recapture the magic of their previous collaboration, delivering a fresh take on the post-apocalyptic genre. The themes of record collecting and music as a whole tie into the adolescent experience beautifully, and the way these themes are framed in a world where groups of kids battle for survival in an adult-free wasteland is likely to speak to a lot of readers on a lot of different levels. I'm well and truly hooked anyway, and can't wait to see where this story goes next. Read Full Review

A creepy, seedy world full of cool kids doing violent stuff, 'Furthest Place' is a book that doesn't just want to present a good story but also the contagious joy of music. Read Full Review

Whats the Furthest Place From Here #1 is intense and heart felt, playing upon coming-of-age nostalgia. This first issue from a top-tier creative team is a must read. Read Full Review

The illustration in this issue features a traditional drawing style and cool color palette. The artwork does a good job with matching the tone of the story and I was emotionally engaged throughout the tale. Read Full Review

A wholly original and special debut issue for a series that ends with a mystery and a powerful urge to keep reading. Read Full Review

What's the Furthest Place From Here #1 is a hell of a start that delivers an interesting world. The concept isn't anything super new but the comic as a whole has a an aspect about it where it feels really fleshed out. It feels like there's thought put into every small detail. This is an interesting start that should have comic and music fans buzzing. For everyone else, this is absolutely going to be a hit to keep an eye on. Read Full Review

I wasnt prepared for how real this book would feel or how strong the characters would be. I enjoy both Rosenberg and Boss so, it seemed like a no-brainer when this book came up that I would act like it was Black Friday, and I was in line for a tv. This book is super fun; I wish I could talk more about it. I will say this, once you read the book, listen to the Husker Du song, Ill Never Forget You, from their Zen Arcade album. It could be me, but theres something there. Read Full Review

What's The Furthest Place From Here? #1 is a lot. In terms of the page count and when you look at what happens in the issue. It should go without saying, but electing to churn out a triple-sized issue from the jump is a bold move. Not something I'd like to see with the series consistently, but it worked. Read Full Review

A post-apocalyptic look at identity in the wake of the end of the world, this book has a LOT of familiar bits and bobs circling a center that doesn't quite hang together. There's promise in these pages, though. Read Full Review

Tyler Boss and Matthew Rosenberg (4 Kids Walk Into a Bank) are back with a Lord of the Flies-inspired series with just the right amount of humor sprinkled in the dialogue and art. Read Full Review

This is a very good comic.

Amazing first issue.
Loved it, hope the rest of the series is as good because omg.

Incredibly well told, super fascinating, and a pure breeze of a read. I’ve always been pretty okay with Matthew Rosenberg’s books, but this may just be one of his best books right here. I absolutely cannot wait for more on this book.

This series is so good. All the characters work well. The setting is actually interesting, which I couldn't say about most post-apocalyptic comics nowadays. I really enjoyed this.

The creators are extremely talented at creating characters and playing the comic medium to its strengths. There's just enough of the world revealed in this issue that only raise more questions as to what the F- is going on?

The atmosphere Rosenberg and Boss have created here was absolutely my favorite part of the book and had me reminiscing about the music I was into at the same age. Definitely something I'm going to keep pulling.
