Editorial Reviews

I have been waiting greedily for ISOLA, and it's everything I ever wanted. Beautiful, lush, heartfelt, and dangerous. Brenden Fletcher and Karl Kerschl are at the top of their game with masterful storytelling and an intriguing epic. Every panel hums with life and energy and reminds us that there are still magical worlds to escape to...if we can find them.” -Patrick Gleason



“The name of Studio Ghibli co-founder, Hayao Miyazaki, is constantly brought up by comic creators when they need a shorthand for describing a specific blend of spectacle and emotion in their work, but the comparison is appropriate in the case of Isola.” -The Onion's AV Club



"All kinds of wonderful. As if Hayao Miyazaki remade The Jungle Book with a dollop of Kamandi. Highest possible recommendation. This is a phenomenal book and unlike anything else on the stands. This'll be an instant sell-out for sure." -Christian Ward



“I had a chance to read ISOLA #1 and it is everything my Mononoke-loving heart could want. April can't come soon enough.” -Jen Bartel



“Brenden Fletcher, Karl Kerschl, and MSASSYK have crafted something wondrous here, and I highly recommend it. Give it a read.” -Bleeding Cool



“Read it.” -Comicosity
