Select praise for The Sacrificers: “Moments of profound sadness are mixed with weird beauty thanks to Fiumara’s phantasmagorical characters, who are both frightening and whimsical. The conceit will put readers in mind of The Hunger Games, Ursula K. Le Guin’s The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas, and The Wizard of Oz, but Remender’s keen attention to pacing and worldbuilding polishes it into a shining example of a familiar trope. Genre fans will eagerly anticipate future installments.” —Publishers Weekly “Summons a world filled with wonder and horror.” —ComicBook.com “All of the complex world-building is achieved through well-constructed allusions and delivered through dialogue and dogma. This approach gives the world a sense of depth. Although its conceit riffs on previous popular media, ranging from Orson Scott Card’s Ender’s Game to Ursula K. Le Guin’s The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas, Remender plays with the utopian vision in a way that feels genuinely unique, both by virtue of being a dark fantasy spin and also in his investment in the conflicting perspectives of the privileged and oppressed… Absolutely beautiful.” —CBR “Delivers a unique fantasy world as well as the kind of high-concept character work fans have come to expect from Rick Remender.” —AIPT “Hard to argue that this opening issue shouldn’t be in a fantasy reader’s hands when they check out.” —Multiversity Comics ![]() ![]() ![]() |
