Clear

“Scott Snyder and Francis Manapul’s Clear is gorgeous sci-fi noir”—The A.V. Club

“Masterful Cyberpunk Noir Reckons With the Helplessness of Connectivity. . . . Built on the impeccable execution of two masters at the top of their game, Clear is easy to recommend for anyone who wants unnervingly relevant genre fiction.”—Comicbook.com

“Snyder’s script is tight and compelling, guiding the reader through this new world. It’s reminiscent of the TV version of Westworld, where it’s the future, but still feels tangible and within our grasp. . . . The book succeeds and innovates in the ways that Manapul can render not only the world Dune, who refuses to look at through a Veil, sees but in what the rest of the characters experience. Manapul’s distinct panel composition flutters through these pages, giving the audience snapshots into the specific realities of those who choose to Veil the world. . . . Clear is a promising start to what could be a compelling sci-fi neo-noir.”—Comic-Watch

“One part The Maltese Falcon and another part Blade Runner, Clear #1 is an old school crime thriller all done up in new school sci-fi splendour.”—Comicon

“Clear #1 is a solid start for those who enjoy detective stories. It’s an exciting start that blends classic tropes and beats with a look that feels more Blade Runner than anything else. There’s a familiarity of it all while also folding in new ideas and concepts which have potential for creating an intriguing series going forward.”—Graphic Policy
