POP #1 Review Roundup

"Jason Copland's artwork along with Pete Tom's colors fit this story perfectly. The style Copland uses and the colors that Toms chooses give this a very Pop art feel.” - Big Comic Page 
"POP #1 is the kind of book Dark Horse needs to be consistently putting out. It's got a little bit of everything in it, with the promise of a bright (or bleakly-themed) future ahead. Action, potential romance (or at least a strong friendship), thought-provoking story"POP #1 is the book you need to pick up when it hits shelves. At the very least, I promise there's a little Bieber-bashing within, that should sate any entertainment need.” - Rhymes With Geek 
"With its promising cast and a high concept plot in the first issue, Pop #1 has me thinking about music celebrities and, more importantly, just how far the record industry is willing to go to get their grubby mits on your $1.29 a song. Pick it up.” - Unwinnable 
"I’ve been keen to read POP for a while now, because Jason Copland is a cool dude and I’ve been reading his comics for eight years and I’m glad he’s finally getting a higher profile.” - Good Comics on CBR 
"This is a story where you’re told it’s okay to reject your fifteen minutes of fame and the drug fantasies of comics and the actual ecstatic experience of drug intake can be combined to positive effect. This is Pop, and it’s every bit as fun as its namesake, and just as self-aware as the best examples of that genre can be.” - Loser City
"Pop exists in a reality that could very well be our own, where the world’s most famous pop stars are genetically engineered and grown instead of discovered.” - Girls Read Comics 
What if the world’s pop stars and celebrities were literally products, grown by the world’s wealthiest (and most depraved) minds—and one of them escaped?
