“When you inadvertently become an inter-dimensional adventurer, you
have to hope that the science behind your loopy situation is on
your side. But what happens when you land in a reality where magic
trumps science? Well, in Matt Kindt and David Rubín’s Ether, the
answer is simple: you solve some goddamn magic crimes.”--io9
“Intriguing. [Rubin’s] … wildly imaginative and colorful designs
make the world of the Ether spring to life like nothing else you’ll
see on this year.”--BLASTR
“Kindt has long proven himself to be one of the most inventive and
cerebral comic makers alive today.”--IGN
“David Rubín’s singular style is unlike anything else in this
earthly realm. Rubín, whose two-volume anachronistic (and
incredibly graphic) Hercules adaptation The Hero is also published
by Dark Horse, merges aspects of Paul Pope and Jack Kirby into a
madcap cosmic mind-trip all his own. With such promising creators
at the helm, Ether seems destined to join Black Hammer and Kindt’s
own Dept. H among the ranks of new Dark Horse classics in the
making.”--PASTE MAGAZINE
“A fully-realized magical world, shaped by the over-active
imaginations of both Kindt and Rubin.”--ENTERTAINMENT
WEEKLY
"The Ether is a magical world you want to believe in and visit.
Following scientist/adventurer Boone Dias as he tries to uncover a
murder mystery, we’re presented with so many colourful fantastical
characters, and different places, and the best part is that the
characters and places in the “real world” are just as fascinating
as everything in the Ether. Matt Kindt and David Rubín are the
perfect pair for this story."--Fábio Moon, Two Brothers
