I think if all big questions were asked in such an excellent mix of humour, terror and surrealism, I'd want to get to the bottom of a lot more mysteries. I loved every page. - Kate Beaton, author of Hark! A Vagrant I absolutely love the way it looks. The series wasn't on my radar beforehand, but a certain print caught my eye as I was walking by the table, and I ended up leaving with both the print and all four collections of the comic that he had on hand. - MTV News The book's ending offers food for thought, and is open to interpretation as the conclusion of the search described in its pages, or as the renewal of yet another cycle. Entropy is entertaining and bizarre, but also deeply contemplative. It's a unique offering that compels multiple readings. - Foreword We've been defeated by our own desperation to explain ourselves and our universe, and the psychological clutter created by it all. If entropy is an inevitable disorder in the universe, Costain suggests that it is created by the human desire for order - and that is the creation we should be concerned with. - Comics Beat I've had the pleasure of watching this book grow, with Aaron, through the years into a sprawling meditation on spirituality and nature. I loved it. - Matt Forsythe, Adventure Time, Ojingogo

I absolutely love the way it looks. The series wasn't on my radar beforehand, but a certain print caught my eye as I was walking by the table, and I ended up leaving with both the print and all four collections of the comic that he had on hand. - MTV News Aaron Costain eschews witless gloss in favour of economy and nonetheless offers an immersing experience... ...As a cartoonist, Costain appears to intuitively grasp the medium's ability to act as a receptacle for outside thoughts and impressions. He gives the reader ample room to breathe, and, in doing so, lends his work a certain depth. In one of his encounters, the golem refers to the work of Haruki Murakami; though removed from Murakami in many ways, Costain has a similar talent for telling dream-like stories without the tedium that usually accompanies other peoples' dreams. - Broken Pencil This is a brutal story that leaves you cautiously eyeballing your own cats as they slink through your house. - Size Matters Costain likes to take his time and make the reader think about the physical reality of both mundane and highly strange activities. - High-Low
