"THE 27 RUN: CRUSH is a brilliant sci-fi tale. Beautiful from top to bottom, and jam-packed with action and comedy, it also makes you think about how to build a better world. THE 27 RUN: CRUSH is something really special... and something you're not going to want to miss." -- Jason Bennett - POPCULTHQ.com

FOREWORD -- A swarm of alien invaders threaten post-apocalyptic Earth in the action-packed graphic novel The 27 Run: Crush. Beti, the pilot of a formidable Mech, is accompanied by her telepathic, telekinetic dog E.K. as she fights off a horde of aliens whom she's dubbed "Crawlies." Soon, Beti and E.K. find themselves alone, with just enough power to send a distress call; rescue comes from another Mech, helmed by a blinded, amnesiac pilot and his mechanical companion Sid. There's past history between Beti and the pilot, who has developed an ability to communicate with the twenty-seven giant monsters that survive on the earth. The pilot uses his power to summon help, and together the Mechs and monsters defeat the Crawlies. The book ends with an even deadlier potential threat looming: whomever or whatever sent the Crawlies to Earth. The book is infused with adrenaline, and many of its pages are dedicated to well-designed battle scenes. Quieter moments are marked by entertaining banter between the pilots and their sidekicks, as well as deeper glimpses into the personalities involved. In the tradition of Battle of the Planets and Voltron, there's a nice moment in which the two Mechs combine to create one larger super-mech-a Mag (short for "Magnificent") Mech. The art is given the space it needs to shine, with lots of full-page images that are rich in color and detail. An attractive bonus section includes a gallery of alternate covers, pin-ups, character designs, and profiles of the monsters. Blending Mechs, Monsters and Mad Max-style action, The 27 Run: Crush is fast, furious, and fun.

Justin Zimmerman's THE 27 RUN: CRUSH packs a punch, mixing romance, mystery and a ton of robot versus alien action. Ethan Claunch and Russell Brown's visuals soar off the page, and Fran Gamboa's colors drip with electric energy. A kinetic remix of everything you love about mecha, cyberpunk, kaiju and pop-culture, THE 27 RUN: CRUSH creates something completely new: a fresh sci-fi dystopia that reflects our modern perils. -- Matt Kubinski, cinemajaw.com
