What Lies Beneath Owl Mountain?
“Project Riese‘s debut issue is exceptional. It has a unique, thrilling tale of adventure, a bit of horror, and hints of the supernatural. Zac Thompson’s narrative paired with Jeff McComsey’s stunning artwork, Paul Little’s colors, and Justin Birch’s lettering fits like a glove. The story has a perfect balance of action, suspense, and mystery that readers will enjoy. -Justin Soderberg”
“Project Riese is a fine tribute to pulp fiction with entertaining characterizations. It feels like budget film made with passion from everyone involved. And there’s so much potential to be found as the story goes on. -Jake Palermo”
“Project Riese #1 is a slow burn that is clearly building toward what I hope is a massive fast paced exploration of an abandoned wonderland of pseudo-science centers and horror-filled hallways, in the search for stolen gold and survival.. -Anton Kromoff”
