The first issue of that comic came out last week and it&#8217;s a psychedelic, intriguing beginning to a mind-bending SF epic! I&#8217;m looking forward to seeing where Leong takes us.

Here&#8217;s a quote:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I love the fact that William has been living in this Hypercastle world for roughly a decade now, and he shows no signs of slowing down. Or of making his work more &ldquo;commercial,&rdquo; although I have no idea what that would look like in this universe.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.opticalsloth.com\/?p=25189\">Read the whole review here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>One great thing about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.opticalsloth.com\/\"><em>Optical Sloth<\/em><\/a> is its deep archive. Bramer has been reviewing comics for years and years &ndash; he reviewed one of my first minicomics in 2009. Another great thing is that he scans each comic for his review. I hope he doesn&#8217;t mind that I&#8217;m posting his scans of <em>Sphere Fear<\/em> so y&#8217;all can see the great risograph printing by <a href=\"https:\/\/issue.press\/\">Issue Press<\/a>: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hypercastle.com\/images\/2018-03-16_Sphere-Fear-cover-scan.png\" alt=\"Sphere Fear cover scan\"><br \/>Scanned by Kevin Bramer.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hypercastle.com\/images\/2018-03-16_Sphere-Fear-interior-scan.png\" alt=\"Sphere Fear interior scan\"><br \/>Scanned by Kevin Bramer.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Finally, if you&#8217;ve read my comics, please consider giving them a review at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/author\/show\/4708825.William_Cardini\">my author page on Goodreads<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two of my comics were reviewed in January!
