ZED gets animated! After posting the cover of ZED #8 on line, I was contacted by animator, Dean Dodrill, asking if it would be OK for him to do a little animation clip inspired by the cover. A couple of months later, I got this wonderful little film. Click here for more.

Here's what the comic press is saying about ZED:

"So Sad, so cute, so macabre."
-- Rebecca Salek, Sequential Tart

"...it's a title I wholeheartedly recommend for those who enjoy the fantastic potential of childlike imagination with a pleasant adult spin"
-- Ray Sidman, Comics Buyer Guide

"Gagne is a ruthless writer, gently building a house of cards for the reader and intentionally swiping at it to excite our empathy and excitement."
-- A Comic A Day...

"That unsettling shift back and forth from innocence and darker elements means this isn't the all-ages book it appears to be on the surface, but it does make for a weirdly mature and fascinating read."
-- Don MacPherson, The Fourth Rail

"ZED is a book to keep an eye on. It's a lot of fun to read, with a visual feast for the eyes."
-- Augie De Blieck Jr., CBR

"You will love this new series, ZED is deliciously twisted, funny, epic and endearing at the same time."
-- Mick Martin, Comic Book Galaxy

"There's something incredibly appealing about ZED; his plight is troubling, his inherent goodness is moving, his suffering is poignant. Most of all his story is compelling; once you've given ZED a try, you'll want to read the entire story."
-- Cliff Biggers, CSN

"...Dr. Seuss with a bodycount. ...I can't recommend the trade highly enough."
-- Randy Lander, The Fourth Rail

"...ZED is in the childlike yet mature tradition of the best French graphic albums, with a bit of gentle anime and a lot of warped imagination thrown in."
-- Adam McGovern, The Jack Kirby Collector #37

“thoroughly enjoyable...”
