“Dandelion is a big, insightful and wildly entertaining graphic novel.

From SABIR PIRZADA, writer of Marvel Studios’ Moon Knight and Ms. Marvel TV series, comes a bold vision of the future! Early praise for Dandelion: “Dandelion is a big, insightful and wildly entertaining graphic novel. A prescient and poignant critique of where we may be headed, and the hope that remains in our most precious resource—humanity.” —Oscar Isaac, Moon Knight “Dandelion offers a revitalizing reflection of an imminent and profoundly tangible future world that demands its readers' attention. Elevated with art that good, it's impossible to look away. An utterly delectable read!” —Iman Vellani, Ms. Marvel: Mutant Menace “Further proving Sabir Pirzada to be one of the most interesting new voices in comics, Dandelion is addictive to its very last page. It's the kind of humanist sci-fi the genre was built on—an undeniably relevant speculative fiction of a have/have-not society that examines a new technology's effect on its populace with almost compulsive comprehensiveness.” —Pornsak Pichetshote, The Good Asian, Infidel “Weird, wild, and packed to the gills with incredible talent. Some real ‘up in the air’ thinking from Sabir and his cohorts here.” —W. Maxwell Prince, Ice Cream Man “Dandelion is a tremendously big sci-fi swing that confronts issues we're only beginning to face. A vital comic—highest possible recommendation.” —Gerry Duggan, X-Men “Making comic book anthologies is tough. Making an anthology this consistent in quality is even tougher. Hat's off to Sabir and the plethora of incredible artists for putting something like this together. Dandelion's concept pulled me in immediately with its familiar but unique take on a dystopic, cyberpunk future. Once I started reading, I couldn't put it down. Each story was more engaging than the last. I gobbled it up in a single sitting. From action to romance to political thriller, this book jumps sub-genres with ease. I'm really hoping to dive back into this world soon.” —Michael Walsh, The Silver Coin
