“Moonray showcases what can be described as a feudal system in
which smaller towns and cities fall to the looming threat of a hive
mind cult in the world of IT-AO.” - Timcast
" Brandon Graham takes seemingly effortless clean lines and
transforms them into entirely unique landscapes and adventures page
after page. His imagination is endless." — Nick Pitarra, Ax Wielder
Jon, The Red Wing, The Manhattan Projects
"Stunning tour de force of imagination and execution... WOW!" —
Geof Darrow, Shaolin Cowboy, Hard Boiled, The Big Guy and
Rusty the Boy Robot
“...as if Herge, Paul Pope and Moebius fused together to warn us
all, “Beware the hive; Beware the Hive; BEWARE THE HIVE!” — Dave
Sim, Cerebus the Aardvark
“Bigger, brighter, and just as bold of art as his other works, this
is a visual feast for comics fans, especially if you enjoy those
ligne claire aesthetics which are very clearly being employed on
these pages.” – Obscurities in Miniatures
“In their joint effort, Moonray, Brandon Graham and Xurxo Penalta
have taken me back to my earliest memories of visual Science
Fiction. Their story might just as well have appeared in the pages
of Métal Hurlant, 45 years ago, alongside the works of Philippe
Caza, Jean-Michel Nicollet, Vaughn Bodē, François Schuiten, Serge
Clerc, Denis Sire, Jacques Lob, and countless others in this vein,
all under the watchful gaze of Mœbius, and Druillet, who led the
genre into the stratosphere. Moonray, true to form, is faithful
science fiction fantasy armed with DNA from the golden age of
Europe’s majestic comic book export and cosmic exploits, as was
practiced in those glory days. And that’s not all: together, Graham
and Penalta take-on one of the harshest challenges of the graphic
novel enterprise: telling a story with non-human characters, all
the while keeping it relatable, and filled with beauty and charm
(oh, those colours!). Only the most dedicated storytelling paired
with the cleverest illustration and graphic strategies could pull
off this feat. Moonray is a journey in time: both to the past and
future of illustrated Science Fiction.” -- Sylvain Despretz,
illustrator and filmmaker
