“The Eightfold Path is a wildly original graphic novel great for
fans of the medium or for those who love science fiction, fantasy,
horror, or the forms of those genres heavy on big ideas. These
ideas are not technological or magical at their core, but moral,
and it is for that reason The Eightfold Path succeeds as it
does.”

"Boldly, intelligently, and fantastically rendered . . . it is
thematically perfect—in my humble opinion!—and practically
impossible not to read in one sitting. I wish I could experience it
again for the first time.”

“If anything can be said about Abrams ComicArts books, it’s that
they are undeniably beautiful. Aside from what lies within their
pages, the books themselves are works of art. They are portable
museums. The colors, the weight and heft of the paper used, the end
paper designs, the cover images chosen, these make the books worth
looking at. The stories being told? These make the books worth
buying. Their Megascope imprint? These books are worth
collecting.”
