My first kickstarter!
What a cool tale! I like the way it plays with the mind.
Maybe it could have used another issue…maybe more exposition. I get that the feeling of not knowing what’s going on is part of the story, but I would have liked a little more background as things unfolded.
That being said, it’s a good story - well worth the read. Check it out.
(Plus, now I’ve heard of Sarah Blasko, and my life is better for it.)

Absolutely horrible writing and story, no coherent structure or good use of vocabulary. This comic is very very similar to one I read recently which came out years before this book. IDW publishing has really failed yet again with this author

A trippy action filled story that will make your head spin. Lindsay uses every aspect of the comic medium to tell a mind-bender of a story. Just when you think things can't get any kookier...they do. There's a lot of craziness in this story, but despite how weird things get, it's somehow still a grounded tale with a lot of suspense and dark themes. Fans of Inception and Legion will surely enjoy this book.

Having explored Ryan K. Lindsay's "Headspace," I am struck by the author's inventive and thought-provoking approach to storytelling. Lindsay crafts a narrative that seamlessly blends elements of science fiction, psychological exploration, and existential inquiry, creating a unique reading experience that challenges conventional storytelling norms.
One of the standout features of "Headspace" is Lindsay's ability to construct a surreal yet immersive world within the confines of the characters' minds. The narrative unfolds in a mind-bending landscape where the boundaries between reality and imagination blur, offering readers a captivating journey through the complexities of the human psyche.
Lindsay's writing style is both evocative and atmospheric, immersing readers in the disorienting and sometimes surreal environments of the characters' heads. The exploration of psychological themes, combined with elements of mystery and suspense, adds layers to the narrative, creating a story that is as intellectually stimulating as it is emotionally resonant.
The characters in "Headspace" are well-developed, each grappling with their own internal struggles and demons. Lindsay provides readers with a cast of complex personalities, making it easy to empathize with their journeys and the challenges they face within the intricacies of their own minds.
While the narrative is innovative and engaging, some readers may find the non-linear structure and the constant shifts between perspectives to be disorienting. Lindsay's ambitious storytelling style, while refreshing, may require a certain level of patience and openness to unconventional narrative structures.
In conclusion, "Headspace" by Ryan K. Lindsay is a captivating exploration of the mind's depths, weaving together science fiction and psychological introspection with finesse. Lindsay's inventive narrative and rich characterizations make this book a compelling read for those seeking a thought-provoking and unconventional storytelling experience.
