Praise for INVISIBLE REPUBLIC:

“Whereas most future sci-fi tales begin with the world, Invisible Republic builds from its characters. Such structure makes the new debut from Gabriel Hardman and Corinna Bechko quickly engaging, the book's plot piloted by very human drama.” —IGN

“Readers looking for something with the feel of classic films like The Insider or All the President's Men with the look of Ronald D. Moore's Battlestar Galactica would do well to check out Invisible Republic.” —Comic Book Resources

“A great story that you can easily be absorbed into. Invisible Republic proved to be a refreshing debut that looks to only get more interesting from here.” —All-Comic
