    I enjoy books that stay with me after I put them away. Free for All is definitely one of those books. The art will stay in my mind for a long time. The story will be an occasional reminder of how i look at the world. I'm not saying I'll judge every story with a similar trope against this, but it will definitely cross my mind. Read Full Review

    Free For All by Patrick Horvath doesn't really shy away from making bold statements and I was here for every moment. The story of an innovative critique of capitalism through combat along with stellar artwork made for a wonderful reading experience. The use of a one-shot gave us a concise story that was the perfect length to dive into. I cannot wait for more from Horvath! Read Full Review

    When I spotted Patrick Horvath’s name in the pre-order list, I was instantly reminded of Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees. I regretted missing out on that gem, and I wasn’t about to let the same happen with Free For All.

    This story is an incredibly enjoyable read, showcasing Horvath’s undeniable talent as a skilled and innovative writer. While I did notice that the art isn’t as sharp as I had hoped, the captivating storyline more than makes up for it. Just imagine him teaming up with a superstar like Dan Mora—absolute fire! Beside this fantasy idea, this story is worth every second you spend on it.
