After the tragic events of the third issue, the villainous Henry Henry finds himself... No! The advertising copy provided here by the publisher will not do! The events of our third chapter (please refrain from calling them issues) are hardly tragic. Our brave hero bested two villains, yet his reward is to be libeled against in marketing copy? -HH
I read Fearscape through gritted teeth and white knuckles, angered by the sheer audacity of Henry Henry. His not-so-carefully constructed ruse is starting to crumble and I cannot wait until it all falls down upon him. From the looks of things, he's not going to go down without a fight, but it will all be worth it to see him taken down a peg. Read Full Review
Overall, I love this comic. I really have nothing negative to say about it. The writing is clever, and the art is lovely, and if you arent reading it already, what the hell are you doing? Read Full Review
As the series winds to a close, Henry Henry is unraveling. He has to face what he's done. Unfortunately, it's not so easy for Henry to admit wrongdoing. We'll see what happens. Read Full Review

Still, that is a publishing problem and one that needn't worry O'Sullivan, Mutti and company as they continue their trek through the fears of Henry and quite possibly our fears also. Read Full Review
Fearscape #4 is another strong issue of a meta-fictional comic about how it feels to have unfulfilled literary aspirations. This comic remains a must-read for English majors and literary dabblers, anyone who has taken a creative writing workshop or read canonical novel in a coffee shop and daydreamed about their name on its cover.
