Zub Tales

I feel like issue 3 is where we’re finally hitting our stride with Wayward and reviewers seem to agree. Check it out!

• Sound In The Signals: “This is definitely on my short list of favorite new series right now.”

• The Telltale Mind: 4.5/5 “There is a little humour sprinkled throughout the book which combined with the beautiful colouring, really keeps the feel of the story nice and light. Overall, a fantastic book and probably the best Image launch in the last few months.”

• TMStash: 10/10 “How they manage to keep such a warm feeling in such a strange tale is amazing to me.”
