ORDINARY #1 from Titan Comics was released last week (and the week prior in the US). Thought I'd compile some of the nice things people have said about us in one easy place. Oh, and you can buy it digitally here https://www.comixology.co.uk/Ordinary-1/digital-comic/96364 if these words convince you.
“Surreal and lovely, one of the most beautiful books of the year." - Warren Ellis
"Imagine a place where everyone has their own unique superpower, and you can tell just from looking at them what that power must be. Imagine a street full of people like that. Then imagine a world. Who else but D'Israeli could draw such a story? Now imagine it done with wit and wonder, and a talking bear, and a bloke who can magic beer out of thin air. Who else but Rob Williams could write it?"- Garth Ennis
“Williams and D'Israeli have concocted one of the most engaging and imaginative comics I've read in years. Perfectly paced and gorgeously illustrated Ordinary is wonderfully insane with a unique yet relatable lead. These two madmen are crafting an absolutely mesmerizing series. If you don't love it you have a broken soul and should slip on a banana peel.” - Rick Remender
"Rob and D'Israeli craft an uncut diamond of a premise into a warm, witty and wonderfully illustrated gem. This is lovely comics." - Al Ewing
‘Rob Williams and D'Israeli are masters of the big picture and the tiny details, and "Ordinary" is a sly, marvelously odd worm's-eye view of what life means when everything is larger than life.’ - Douglas Wolk, Wired Magazine, author of 'Reading Comics: How Graphic Novels Work and What They Mean'
‘Ordinary is a truly extraordinary experience from two of the greatest creators in British comics.’ - Paul Cornell
