“Big, complex, eccentric, with some marvellous stylistic choices and some serious intelligence.”
– WARREN ELLIS, author of TRANSMETROPOLITAN, GUN MACHINE, and NORMAL
“[THE SOLAR GRID] is an intoxicating, ambitious read, and each installment brings new angles and exciting concepts to the story.” – MARK ALLEN, FLICKERING MYTH
“With the visually stunning and profound graphic novel THE SOLAR GRID, Egypt's most famous street-artist lives up to his name Ganzeer (bicycle chain), as he pushes us forward with art that reminds us: pop culture can be so much more than the habitual junk food for the soul.”
– LEXI ALEXANDER
filmmaker behind PUNISHER: WAR ZONE, GREEN STREET HOOLIGANS and the Academy-Award Nominated JOHNNY FLYNTON
“A detailed and dark world filled with thought provoking echoes of our own, and following the money reveals that freedom is an expensive illusion.”
– HEIDI MACDONALD, THE BEAT
“Panels jut out and the action frequently crashes the gutters, bumping up against an incorporation of fierce design acumen.”
– DOMINIC UMILE
“This new SF comic by Ganzeer reads like a nuclear blast that turns everything around it to wall-shadows.”
– DAN GOLDMAN
artist of Eisner-Award nominated SHOOTING WAR and author/artist of RED LIGHT PROPERTIES
“Ganzeer's THE SOLAR GRID actually delivers that gorgeous crunchy relevant sci-fi that comics have been promising forever.”
– ZAK SMITH
artist/author of WE DID PORN: MEMOIR AND DRAWINGS
“A dense SF that ignited my imagination and brought a big grin on my face. Recommended.”
– ALES KOT
author of ZERO, MATERIAL, and WOLF
“Environmentally and politically relevant.”
– CARLY COURTNEY, SCI-FI ADDICTS
“It makes you wonder and think about it after you're done reading it and damn, that makes it good.”
– DUSTIN CABEAL, COMIC BASTARDS
“Ganzeer’s project epitomizes his hyper-democratic ethos.”
– FOREIGN POLICY
“Gorgeous political science fiction comics for grown-ups.”
– SALADIN AHMED
author of THRONE OF THE CRESCENT MOON, and ABBOTT.
“It’s a story about the inevitable destruction of our planet by corporate greed and a couple of unassuming antiheroes who somehow bring it all down. This is a story of revolution, the powerless taking power back from the powerful.”
– AYMAN ISMAIL, SLATE
“Protest on a flooded planet, cyborg kids scavenging a ruined Earth, a billionaire technocrat desperate to alter the world to suit his vision. With vibrant and distinct art for each of these linked stories, The Solar Grid is an exhilarating and important slab of sci-fi comix.”
– COREY J. WHITE
author of KILLING GRAVITY and VOID BLACK SHADOW.
“THE SOLAR GRID is absolutely brilliant, an all-too-realistic glimpse into what would become of Earth were racist settler-colonial technophile powers allowed to endure.”
- DOMINIC BOYER
cultural anthropolgist and author of ENERGOPOLITICS: WIND AND POWER IN THE ANTHROPOCENE
“THE SOLAR GRID is a mind-blowing read. Imagine if Grant Morrison and Frank Miller and Kim Stanley Robinson had a lovechild who’d seen the Apocalypse and picked up a pen: that’s Ganzeer in this beautiful series.”
- ELLIOTT COLLA
author of BAGHDAD CENTRAL, CONFLICTED ANTIQUITIES, and WE ARE ALL THINGS
“Brilliant sci-fi from Ganzeer. Hugely and heartily recommended.”
- HASSAN OTSMANE-ELHAOU
editor/publisher of PANELXPANEL
