Broken Frontier does a great job of promoting lesser-known artists. They're based in the U.K., so a lot of these artists were unfamiliar to me. There's an overall high quality to this anthology that is rare to most anthologies, but not at the expense of variety. A very diverse group of cartoonists and styles. I could have done with a little less of the mainstream superhero style, but that's just my personal preference. And, like I said, there's a lot of variety, so it never got bogged down.
A lot of different styles. There is always something that will speak to you amongst the multitude of stories.
This anthology is the result of a Kickstarter that I supported--a worthy investment. It collects numerous short stories that cover a broad spectrum of science fiction, revealing just how diverse the genre is and should be. As with any anthology, there will be hits and misses, but this time, even with the stories that didn't speak to me as much as the others, I was so impressed by the creativity and honesty that went into their telling and illustration. It seems that it is the mandate of the coll...
I received this book for free from the publishing company upon meeting them at my local comic-con. This is the fourth book I've read for the Biblio Games Read-a-thon.I've been wanting to read more graphic novels. I'm so glad this was one of them. Broken Frontier is a beautiful book filled with gorgeous art and entertaining stories. Seeing all of the different art styles was my favorite thing about this book, because while some are similar, they are all unique. Some of the stories, don't even hav...
Pretty decent for an anthology. It can be hard to get 20-30 authors to do really great short stories. Some of these are exceptional. None of them are terrible. Definitely works with the overall theme. Definitely worth a read.
Save yourself the money. The only one that stands out is The Wave from Robert Sammelin. The rest is average at best and most cases neither compelling from a story telling point of view nor from the artwork. For a showcase of talent I found the outcome poor.

Some excellent talent, but most of the stories end way too abruptly, and one or two of the stories are really bad.
It was very interesting, but I found some of the stories hard to follow and some cut off too early like maybe they were setting up for a series? But overall it was pretty good and I liked it.
On of if not the best comic anthology I've read in a long time.
Picked this up at ECCC when I was out scouting for cool anthologies and this "weird sci-fi" collection turned out to be right up my alley. I was maybe expecting something more indie (meaning less polished), but the quality is consistently high and the stories are frequently great. Contributors include Marguerite Bennett, David Hine, Joshua Fialkov, Box Brown, Phil Hester, Cullen Bunn, Ryan Kelly, Fred Van Lente, Adam Egypt Mortimer "and more!"
This is a biased review, as I am one of the contributors to this anthology -- but, having read it now cover to cover, I am extremely proud to have been part of such a vivacious, creative, and stellar collaborative work. Truly boundary-breaking.
