Local writer extraordinaire drops a new comic of madness this week from Dark Horse Comics. Prepare yourself you are about to enter NEGATIVE SPACE…
NEGATIVE SPACE
New 4 issue mini series begins this week.
Written by (Canberra’s own) Ryan K Lindsay with art by Owen Gieni
When one man’s writer’s block gets in the way of his suicide note, he goes for a walk to clear his head and soon uncovers a century-old conspiracy dedicated to creating and mining the worst lows of human desperation.
Ryan has assembled a great collection of reviews and press coverage over at his website (and we’ve stolen it all for you right here)
