Quote & Review:
"GHOST PLANET is a classic sci-fi tale with a body-horror twist. Artist Sean Von Gorman has beautifully rendered every tentacle and alien spore, opting for a pop art palette that is both emotional and artsy. Meanwhile, the story explores the most primal of human relationships and fears. Death is biology. Hope is a ghost. I think this story really packs a wallop, and I’m pleased as a punch-bot that Scout Comics has taken a chance on our futuristic, sci-fi horror tale.” — Jeffrey Burandt
“Ghost Planet is a terrifying science fiction nightmare. I loved it. When I finished the book all I wanted to know was what happens next.” - Chris Miskiewicz (Grateful Dead Origins/This Is Where We Fall)“
Jeffrey Burandt and Sean Von Gorman's GHOST PLANET is like a mash-up of LOST IN SPACE and BLACK MIRROR. A spooky synthesis of hope and horror.
--Dean Haspiel (The Red Hook, Billy Dogma)
Mike Allred: “Very cool! Big fun!”
Alex Widen, Adult Mutant Review Guy: “Burandt’s story is compelling, well scripted and expertly paced. Von Gorman’s artwork mixes all the elements together into a tale which is always suspenseful and appropriately shocking.”
