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 is an action book for the shitty fascist, late capitalist reality that is 2026. It's kind of utopian, kind of dystopian, and kind of about a couple slamming the door shut on their relationship in a way that affects the world economy.

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.
