It's almost three hundred pages of brand-new work from both proven talents and new faces and it just left me grinning like a little kid at how great it was. I think the last time I had a big dopey grin on my face like that at an unexpectedly-awesome new comics discovery like Broken Frontier was stumbling across Star*Reach from Mike Friedrich back when I was in high school... a project that Broken Frontier has a great many similarities to. However you do it, you should get one. Especially if you re having a crabby-old-fan moment about current superhero comics like I was. There s lots of genre material in Broken Frontier that feeds that hell-for-leather, let s-GO-for-it love of adventure stories that got me into comics in the first place. Not just Ghostpuncher but also stories like Plunder from Phil Hester and Danial Warren Johnson and It s About Time from Hautain and Percio, but those were just the ones that jumped out at me; there s all kinds of other stuff in there too. Like we always say around here, the best cure for bad comics is good comics.... and despite what it feels like in the superhero corner sometimes, there s plenty of those out there. This is just one of them. Treat yourself. Explore a little. --Greg Hatcher, Comics Should Be Good, Comic Book Resources
This anthology is what the comic book industry needs. The tagline reads as a creator-owned anthology about breaking boundaries and exploring the great unknown by the most inventive talents in comics. There are so many standouts here. My favorite has to be the underrated Noah Van Sciver who contributes a tale called "Down In a Hole," which was basically...just a guy falling down a hole. But it's so inventive you can't stop reading. Another favorite was "Dark Dark World" by Cullen Bunn And Nathan Fox. Chin-Tanner even has a few stories in there and he is as deft a writer as he is a curator. This is the stuff of good comic books. A lot of times I see these Kickstarter Books and they seem like vanity projects to me. This book is anything but. My only hope is that this anthology continues. We need something like this in the market. They struck gold with this. Now keep it going. I'd read 1000 pages if they were all this good. --Forces of Geek
