    I was instantly hooked when I started reading Dark Empty Void #1. The story is compelling right from the start, and keeps you wanting more as the story continues. You find yourself relating to Joy as she gives lectures on depression while she is going through the struggle herself. The characters are easy to connect with while still maintaining mystery as you learn more about them. I'm not usually one for sci-fi thrillers, but Dark Empty Void #1 was fantastic all around. Can't wait for the next installment! Read Full Review

Add in the tremendous work from Chris Shehan (House of Slaughter, The Autumnal), Francesco Segala and Justin Birch and you get a comic that sets a high standard for what's to come in this exciting new series. We cannot wait to see where the creative team takes the mystery behind the black hole in future issues. Read Full Review

    'Dark Empty Void' #1 sucked me in with the power of the black hole the story revolves around. The intriguing sci-fi concept immediately piqued my interest. But, I was mostly drawn in by the diverse and complex characters. The intricate and emotive images by Chris Shehan together with the colors of Francesco Segala perfectly match the mood of both the narrative and the characters. And I was completely hooked by the well-paced mystery at the center of the sci-fi thriller. Read Full Review
