From the Judges, on XCT: Breakout (2020)

From the Judges, on XCT: Breakout

A superhero story that folds prehistoric spectacle together with figures drawn from history, this is a comic with a premise the panel found genuinely inventive. The artwork drew real admiration, and the characters landed as compelling and distinctive, each one carrying the story forward with momentum. It struck them as the kind of high-quality hero storytelling worth celebrating right now.
