A couple of tweet reviews from fans who have read "Lucid":

@Sunfell - "I am really impressed with this title, its world, and the art. And the story crackles with lots of potential. It’s a great kickoff for Before The Door’s publishing arm." (More on her blog)

@DestinyRaven - "it was a complete mind blower and entertaining with all the historical/occult tie ins...."

There is also a more Singaporean-ized review of the comic at sister blog Red Dot Diva.

  2. Great blog post, as usual.
    And I like Lucid very much. A rich story with fascinating characters. I surely hope they do more than just the 4 issues! Looks like there's a lot of backstory to be told. And I can't wait for #2, to find out how the story goes on.

  3. LUCID is amazing!! Compelling story and beautiful graphics. Tells enough of the story that you feel immediately drawn into the action yet teases with intriguing hints to other parts of the story so you want more!!! Will be a wonderful series. McMillian, Wieszczyk, Before the Door and Archaia Comics should be proud!!

  4. I so agree... I really didn't expect to be captivated. But I was.

    Sunfell - there are a few ways to navigate the blogger

    1. on right panel, there's the Blog Archive with links by month
    2. Labels on right panel with tag words can also be used to point to specific blogs
    3. Of if one likes scrolling, they can click the main header image above to go back to blog's Home and then go down the page to browse through "Older Posts"

    in any case, I've added the part 1 and part 2 blog links as easy reference.
