Ain't It Cool News reviews The Absence!

Lovely review for The Absence on top cult geek website Ain't It Cool:

Some quotes:

"While it plays on many levels, the crux of THE ABSENCE is filling voids."

"The naturalistic dialog, intricate black and white pencils and Stiff's reverence for the time period from style to sayings are worth the price of admission, but it's the sci-fi twist that makes THE ABSENCE a true comic book as well as a great story."
