A review of 2048 Volume 02
Continuing to tell the story of a dubious future-America, 2048 – Vol. 2 sets the stage for Senator Josh Logan to make a decision about the human/ape hybrids, the “bumans.” Unfortunately his political opponents begin a plot that might cause the downfall of his political career and his family.
Marvin Olasky and Brian Williamson continue to author and illustrate a dark, often disturbing, vision of genetic manipulation in the future. The dialogue is sometime stilted and some of the plot points feel a bit too far-fetched, but the story still pulls the reader deep into this grim future.

A review of 2048 Volume 03
The plight of “bumans” in future America is coming to a head. Facing a future of obliteration or slavery the half-human/half apes’ fate lies in the hands of congressional politicians. With violence erupting against the bumans, Senator Josh Logan is all but crushed by special interest groups, a political smear campaign, and problems in his own family.
Dr. Marvin Olasky’s story is building to some very dramatic heights here, and Brian Williamson’s art is simply stunning in its vivid depiction of future America.

A review of The Last Convert of John Harper
With the first half of the comic dedicated to giving John Harper’s background as a young preacher of dedication and conviction, The Last Convert begins rather slowly. The payoff for the second half, however, is poignant, convicting and powerful. The artwork penciled by Gabriel Andrade and colored by Carlos Alberto is crisp and vivid, drawing the reader into the story. Beyond the initial pacing issues, Art A. Ayris, the writer, tells a compelling and ultimately emotional story.

A review of 2048 Volume 01
2048
Review by Nathan James Norman
In a future where genetic manipulation has led to the “bumans,” a half-human, half-ape hybrid, society struggles with what to do with these creatures. Should they be integrated into society, used as a working-class, or eradicated? At the center of the conflict is Senator Josh Logan, a man of character who honestly does not know what the answer is, and Bonnie, a “buman” whom the perverse sex-industry is trying to exploit.
Filled with deeply mature themes, the first issue of 2048 is slowed down a bit by lengthy exposition introducing the reader to the world, but the characters and moral dilemmas established here are deeply engaging. Marvin Olasky and Brian Williamson spin a dramatic tale in their dialogue and rich artwork.
A review of Aposperos: Merchant of Souls
An enjoyable read, the artwork is stark, but captures the mood of the book. Visually, some of the text is difficult to read at times . . . and unfortunately the book carries with it a ”to be continued . . .” ending.
