• “[The Labyrinth provides] full pages of gloriously detailed art. And this is wonderful stuff, each one worthy of putting on your wall. The first few pages alone could each be the covers for a 60s sci-fi book. Not that this feels retro – I feel a hint of nostalgia, references to what has gone before, but this is its own beast. The scenes range from large ruined landscapes, details of chairs and telephones, close-ups of frying pans and mysterious giant metal creatures. /…/ This is an interesting and dark piece.”

• “I found myself paralyzed by every page of The Labyrinth. This is a thoughtful, efficient story that frightened and engaged me purely on the power of its mood and gentle descriptions. My mind was allowed to run wild on each image, only to be grounded in ways I didn’t anticipate with each narration. /…/ I had a thoroughly enjoyable experience with it.”

• “For those who’ve read Stålenhag’s previous works or watched Tales From The Loop, The Labyrinth appears to be a must-read as it’s set to be another piece of terrific sci-fi world-building from the talented illustrator. Stålenhag is a master of his craft and continues to get better and better.”
