Review:

“The action sequences are rendered in excellent detail, combining elements of video games, European comics, and manga conventions. The technology and character designs are first-rate, and this book is a joy to read, behold, and revisit. It’s just plain fun.” ― Stergios Botzakis, Graphic Novel Resources

“Telling the tale with gleeful, off-kilter gusto, Sears borrows parts of many a fantasy masterpiece―the blocky, futuristic aesthetic of Miyazaki’s Castle in the Sky; the central relationship and world-invention of Adventure Time; the clear line verve of Tintin―and combines them into something wonderfully distinctive.” ― Jesse Karp, Booklist

“The artwork is fantastic. The linework is clean; the style is fresh and full of life. The art puts you in a good mood just by looking at it” ― Dustin Cabeal, Comic Bastards

“Sears is an American comics creator with decidedly global influences, and that makes his work a lot of fun to read.” ― Elle Collins, ComicsAlliance

"Reading Ben's work is so much fun. I love his use of color and his characters. It reads like he had a blast making it." - Brandon Graham, King City, Multiple Warheads, Prophet, ISLAND Magazine

“Night Air and Volcano Trash ― Ben Sears’ stories about Plus Man and his robot, Hank ― aren’t really mysteries, but there’s a weird noir feel to them, mashed up with sci-fi, action movies, comic strips and everything that’s cool. For older kids, these would be fun reads.” ― Erik Missio, CBC Parents

“From castles and haunted beings in Night Air (think Waluigi with more one liners) to a ‘Mission Impossible’ type labyrinth in Volcano Trash, the hero and robot brigade continue to impress as they do things their own way through a medley of shenanigans.“ ― Ben Niespodziany, Neonpajamas
