SOME REVIEWS:

Photobucket

"I do believe that Grant has reinvented a genre. It's a genuinely brilliant read, from his seamless transition from dreams to reality and back again...really not a comic to be missed." -- Optical Sloth, Hot and Cold Running Ghosts

Photobucket

"Singularity (Al Burian and Grant Reynolds, super team up)" -- Quimby's Quimblog Best of 2007

"It's a comic book and a record, all in one! It's gorgeous. This is probably the most disturbing thing that Grant has done, and I say more power to him. He should revel in ugliness like this more often." -- Optical Sloth, M'Lady Serene: Tales of Achilles

"This is the best work we've seen by both to date!" -- Art of the Underground, M'Lady Serne: Tales of Achilles

"Reynolds does a fantastic job of echoing the lyrics in his images...His art conjures up scenes of desolation and desperation...however, Reynolds' mini is also uplifting and rewarding." -- The Drama #9, To the Mouth of the Source

"He uses very few words, masterfully weaving together recurrent Newsom motifs: bones, white coats, water, gnawing, night. When strung together this way - and when accompanying Reynolds' expressive images - the lyrics take on new meaning, while still adhering, remarkably, to the overall mood of Newsom's songs. Indeed, this book is right on." -- Punk Planet #76, To the Mouth of the Source

"Finally a hefty collection, Grant has been doing some of the most interesting and cutting edge comics in Chicago for a while. A great well-rounded introduction to his work." -- Logan Bay (Quimby's, Lumpen), Smaller Parts

"Overall, this book made me want to pull the covers up over my head and just think for awhile." -- Optical Sloth, Smaller Parts
