Here's what people are saying about THE SURROGATES:

"FLESH AND BONE reads like Philip K. Dick writing an episode of THE WIRE ... a smart, compelling and adult work asking questions with no easy answers." -- io9

"Venditti and Weldele manage to craft an exciting futuristic crime story while composing a profound, morally complex dialectic. ... It takes a graphic novel about robots to find out what it means to be human." -- Dan Trachtenberg, THE TOTALLY RAD SHOW

"SURROGATES is gritty, compelling science fiction with a story that grabs you immediately and hangs on long after it's over." -- Mark Frauenfelder, BOING BOING

Surrogates TPB Vol. 1
"THE SURROGATES: FLESH AND BONE is a spectacular read, both for fans of the original series and newcomers. Venditti and Weldele build an engrossing story, delivering a complex world that mirrors our own in many ways." -- Chad Nevett, COMIC BOOK RESOURCES

"If THE SURROGATES dipped its toe into the tipping point of techno-social change, FLESH AND BONE deftly splashes about in the pool." -- UGO.com

"The Best Indie Book of the year. Sci-fi tales are making a comeback and THE SURROGATES is quietly leading the charge." -- IGN

"An absolutely fascinating piece of work -- heartfelt and thoughtful." -- FANTASY & SCIENCE FICTION

"Good science fiction is hard to come by, but Venditti's blend of technology, crime drama and social commentary makes for the most original sci-fi mythology in years." -- WIZARD MAGAZINE
