-Paul Pope, creator of Batman: Year 100, Heavy Liquid, Battling Boy
"Reading a Jeffrey Alan Love comic is like watching a film by one of the great directors. Every panel is impeccably crafted, every moment rich with meaning and deep with shadow. And, damn, is there some scary stuff coming out of those shadows thanks to Chris Condon's crackling script."
-Van Jensen, author of Godfall, Arca, Two Dead
"Eerie, exciting and excellent: That's 'News From the Fallout' in a nutshell. Totally brought me back to my childhood, watching black-and-white horror flicks on Saturday mornings. I loved this tense and ominous tale and am super-eager for more!"
-Ken Jaworowski, Edgar-nominated author of 'Small Town Sins' and the forthcoming 'What About the Bodies.'
“Cast in expressionist shadows that glow radioactively off the page, with dialogue that hits like a war drum, Chris Condon and Jeffrey Alan Love unleash a paranoid speculative thriller that feels equal parts McCarthy and Atwood. A book to be cherished.”
-Dan Watters, Nightwing, Destro, Coffin Bound, Homesick Pilots
"A darkly sharp and enormously fun start to something really special. I hope it never ends."
-Darcy Van Poelgeest, Little Bird, Precious Metal
“I don’t know if the term ‘sickeningly readable’ even makes sense but it 100% applies to NEWS FROM THE FALLOUT. Grimness, grey-ness, doom-soaked nihilism that I could not take my eyes off of.”
-Patton Oswalt, Minor Threats, Silver Screen Fiend, Ratatouille
"A stylized and stylish nightmare that my eyeballs were instantly and happily glued to. More please."
-Paul Tremblay, New York Times bestselling author of Horror Movie and The Cabin at the End of the World
“No one in comics is evoking the ancient primordial mists like Jeffrey Alan Love. The work is as iconic as it is timeless. And no one, and I mean no one, has any idea how he’s actually making the artwork.”
-Ian Bertram, Little Bird, Precious Metal
“Chris Condon's tale of a nuclear test gone awry has a wonderful SF retro feel, but given a pleasing twist by Jeffrey Alan Love's signature style which bristles with energy, claws, and teeth.”
-Priya Sharma, World Fantasy Award winner
“Haunting and creepy, NEWS FROM THE FALLOUT is the real deal! Chris Condon does it again with his perfect, grounded characters while Jeffrey Alan Love’s stark and unnerving artwork is going to dig into your brain. Highly recommended!”
-Chip Zdarksy, SEX CRIMINALS, PUBLIC DOMAIN, Batman, Daredevil
“Radiating confidence and style, NEWS FROM THE FALLOUT is unlike anything else on the stands. A thrilling sequential debut from Jeffrey Alan Love, and yet another winner from Chris Condon.”
-James Tynion IV, Something is Killing the Children, W0RLDTR33, THE DEPARTMENT OF TRUTH
“There's a deep horror in the simplicity of NEWS FROM THE FALLOUT. With Jeffrey Alan Love's charcoal-black art and Hassan Otsmane-Elhau's chaotic lettering, this story of '60s nuclear intrigue from rising star Chris Condon hits hard. Don't hesitate - pre-order the first issue, open the bunker, and see what greets you…”
-Scott Snyder, Absolute Batman, WYTCHES, American Vampire
“Bleak, unsparing, and haunting, Condon and Love’s NEWS FROM THE FALLOUT is unlike anything you’ll find on racks today - loaded with suspense, a heaping spoonful of Stephen King-like world-building, and Love’s mesmerizing, sketchy linework, it’s a perfect blend of pulp narrative and charcoal-infused surrealism. I had to sit quietly after reading this - and I couldn’t wait for more.”
-Alex Segura, bestselling and acclaimed author of Alter Ego, Secret Identity, and Star Wars
"Every page of NEWS FROM THE FALLOUT, from the warped and very talented team of Chris Condon and Jeffrey Alan Love, radiates tension. It feels like an A-plus B-movie from the 1960s, when nuclear fears and government conspiracies bled onto celluloid in all the best ways. You can practically taste the grit, atomic ash, and roadside diner coffee in your mouth–and it's delicious."
-Ethan Sacks, writer of Star Wars: Bounty Hunters, Climate Crisis Chronicles, and A Haunted Girl
“NEWS FROM THE FALLOUT is grit on paper with edges that will draw blood from the reader. If you thought Dr. Strangelove wasn’t dark enough, rest assured Condon and Love are hand-cranking an apocalyptic tale with a bearcat engine. Condon has honed his story skills into a mean knife at this point, and Love’s charcoal monochrome art scratches deep into your psyche.”
-Christopher Cantwell, Iron Man, Out of Alcatraz, and Halt and Catch Fire
"Angry, Kinetic, ALIVE -- NEWS FROM THE FALLOUT is a lean, mean storytelling machine. This is comics in its purest form."
- John Picacio, Hugo Award Winner • Co-author / illustrator of THE INVISIBLE PARADE
“Come for the nuclear testing, stay for the ravenous monsters. Instantly immersive and a worthy addition to the horror canon.”
-Justina Ireland, Dread Nation, The Fall of the House of Usher
"Jeffrey Alan Love's brilliant graphic sense crashes headfirst into this nightmare of a story. This is a GREAT read."
Mark Chiarello
"One of the most exciting artists working today."
-- Rick Remender (The Sacrificers, Grommets)
“I naturally assumed News from the Fallout would be terrific. It is, after all, concocted by Chris Condon, who has a habit of delivering brutal, breakneck narratives, full of entertaining detours and unpredictable twists. His latest, seasoned with exotic pop-cultural spices—a pinch of Dr. Strangelove, a sprinkling of The Amazing Colossal Man, a soupçon of William Friedkin’s “Nightcrawlers”—is no exception. The revelation, for me at least, is the extraordinary minimalist artwork of Jeffrey Alan Love, all jagged edges, big blacks, and “spatter” effects (as we called them back in the pre-digital era, when you could only get this kind of look with frisket and a toothbrush dipped in India ink, and your parents punished you afterward). Despite—no; wrong; because of—his rigorously limited palette, Love’s visual style is kinetic, immersive and perfectly suited to his apocalyptic subject matter. News from the Fallout is a gorgeous comic. I could happily stare at it all day.”
-Sam Hamm, screenwriter of Batman, writer of Batman ‘89
“With a one-of-a-kind art and an incredible engaging start, News From the Fall Out is shaping to be one of the most unique, exciting and disturbing series out there, a sci-fi horror classic unfolding in front of your eyes.”
-Álvaro Martínez Bueno (The Nice House on the Lake)
“Cold War terror meets the creature feature in a bleak, yet endlessly stylish story that could only be experienced in the comic book format.”
-Julio Anta, Eisner-nominated author of Frontera and This Land is our Land: A Blue Beetle Story
"I've long been a fan of Jeffrey Alan Love's subtly unsettling art. Here, with Chris Condon's text, it manages to offer a cross between the paranoid thriller and the zombie genre in such a way that it feels not quite like anything we've ever seen before. News of the Fallout is not to be missed."
-Brian Evenson, Last Days, Good Night, Sleep Tight
“NEWS FROM THE FALLOUT is a (literally) explosive beginning to this mash-up of atomic sci-fi and bleak desert horror, reminding us with shades of dark humor (paging Dr. Strangelove) that there is nothing as terrifying as what "progress" can unleash.”
- Ben H. Winters, The Last Policeman, Tracker
"News From The Fallout is profoundly stylish, gritty, and cool, and reads at a blitzkrieg pace. All hail zombie-noir."
-Keith Rosson, author of Fever House and The Devil by Name
“Chris Condon and Jeffrey Alan Love combine their unique voices to create some crazy comics alchemy. News From The Fall Out is a wild and immersive ride. It’s Mad Max meets Eraserhead!”
-Jeff Lemire, Absolute Flash, Sweet Tooth, The Underwater Welder
