Scorn #2, review by Dave Baxter Posted on September 13, 2017May 3, 2019 “Neundorf not only produces pictures on a par with any Ben Templesmith template of color and expressionistic action, but he also, into every panel, works an overlay of nearly abstract enhancement, an exoskeleton of squiggly off-color action lines and subtly woven-in miniature frames which subliminally lead the reader’s eyes from detail to detail. If you’re […] read more
Scorn #1, review by Don Macpherson Posted on September 13, 2017May 3, 2019 “…There’s a gritty intensity to the art that’s in keeping with the tone of the story, and the somewhat unconventional approach to the sequential art really allows artist Phillip Neundorf’s work to stand out. This is a solid debut effort from two unknowns, and I suspect that as they hone their storytelling in the coming […] read more
Scorn #1, Interview w. Nick Defina by John L. Daniels Posted on September 13, 2017May 3, 2019 “…Scorn reflects the harsh reality of how current society has evolved.(…) It is a book that is filled with emotion and it can be seen through the amazing artwork of Philipp Neundorf. It’s a story of how an individual takes matters into his own hands when no one else would. Scorn reflects the harsh reality […] read more
Scorn #1, review by Ryan Midnight Posted on September 13, 2017May 3, 2019 “…To provide the art for the story, Moyers turned to artist Philipp Neundorf. Neundorf has had a rich past in providing comic book art, pinups, covers, and graphic designing. The proper art can provide an important and vital visual look into the state of being in stories that revolve around the emotional core of a […] read more
Max und Murat Posted on September 13, 2017May 3, 2019 Dirk Bernemann prügelt sich in einer Schreibhaltung zwischen Bertolt Brecht, Franz Kafka und Wilhelm Busch acht Strophen lang durch den sozialkritischsten seiner Texte, während Philipp S. Neundorf Bilderfolgen summen lässt, die den Text nicht nur untermalen, sondern ein ganz eigenes farbenreiches Universum erschaffen. Zusammen ist es den beiden gelungen, den Kinderbuchklassiker Max und Moritz moralingetränkt […] read more
Max und Murat Buch (9* von 10), Rezension von Blackrose Posted on September 13, 2017May 3, 2019 “…Herausgebracht hat dieses künstlerische Kleinod der Unsichtbar Verlag unter dem Namen “Max & Murat”, der dem geneigten Leser und Betrachter diese 24-seitige Sozialkritik für wenige 5 Euro darbietet. Da heißt es zugreifen, denn das Gespann Bernemann und Neundorf tobt sich hier gelungen aus und bietet eine kurzweilige, dafür aber nachhaltige und zum Nachdenken anregende Unterhaltung…” Read […] read more
DCLXVI, preview by Michael Hutchison Posted on September 13, 2017May 3, 2019 “Inkplosion is now highlighting the latest work of Philipp S. Neundorf, called “DCLXVI.” It’s very Vertigo-ish, full of mature content, so be warned. Phil’s European, so the women are almost always naked…and you get to see a couple having sex to a George Bush speech. (Well, if you hadn’t clicked the link already, I bet […] read more

Ich hab’ die Unschuld kotzen sehen, Rezension von Oliver Lippert Posted on September 13, 2017May 3, 2019 “…Dirk Bernemann hat damals die literarische Welt in ihren Grundfesten erschüttert und hat sich das nun zum Beruf gemacht. Jetzt ist vor zehn Tagen die Comicversion erschienen, dessen Zeichnungen zwar gut, wenngleich aber auch gewöhnungsbedürftig sind, (stilistisch gesehen) aber die Kraft des Schlages ist nicht mehr so stark. Aber es ist dennoch wahrlich interessant zu […] read more
Scorn #1 (5* out 5), review by John L. Daniels Posted on September 13, 2017May 3, 2019 “…Passionately written, the story evokes sentiments of injustice. Moyers writes what others would like to do by the victim’s friends or family who are left behind. The artwork by Philipp S. Neundorf is harrowing and displayed eloquently as seen by the characterizations in the panels. Scorn #1 is a quality title by the sensational creative […] read more
Septagon Studios’ Debut Title “Scorn” Garners Critical Acclaim, Dan Schaffer Posted on September 13, 2017May 3, 2019 “A violent revenge tale illustrated with emotive sepia-toned expressionist art, the likes of which are rarely seen in comics nowadays. Neundorf’s fine art techniques and understanding of dynamic comic book storytelling are employed here with beautiful results as he skillfully extracts the tone, spirit, and intent of the story and burns it straight onto the […] read more
Ich hab die Unschuld kotzen sehen – Interview mit Philipp S. Neundorf von Christian Muschweck Posted on September 13, 2017May 3, 2019 “…Ich finde es spannend, vorher nicht zu wissen, wie das nachher aussieht. Ich will mich so lange wie möglich selber überraschen. Offen bleiben für Möglichkeiten einer Idee, die ich am Anfang noch nicht gesehen habe oder die im Laufe des Prozesses entstehen können. Gerade im Comicbereich sind Zeichner recht festgefahren. Auch, weil sie in der […] read more
About the Utopia OST by Peter, United Kingdom Posted on September 12, 2017May 3, 2019 “…As you all know, arguably the most important British TV series has just started its second run and we have once again been introduced to Cristobal’s on-the-money sounds. I was curious if the signature theme and other noticeable compositions would survive for series two. Thankfully they have, but they have also far exceeded my expectations […] read more
Utopia, critique d’album par Noémie, France Posted on September 12, 2017May 3, 2019 “…Cristobal Tapia de Veer a réussi un double exploit : celui d’avoir une bande-son allant parfaitement avec sa série mais aussi, et surtout, d’avoir créé une musique qui possède sa propre identité. La musique d’Utopia (…) vit sans les images qu’elle sublime par ailleurs. L’écriture complexe, allant bien au-delà de la sempiternelle répétition d’un thème […] read more

In Conversation With Cristobal Tapia de Veer, interview by Christian Murphy, Hyponik, United Kingdom Posted on September 12, 2017May 3, 2019 “…Centered around a conspiracy theory to sterilise the majority of the planet, the show was a triumph of clever casting, black humour, ultraviolence, spectacular cinematography, relentless pacing and an endlessly bizarre score. Save for the omnipresent hue of yellow in nearly every shot, the latter feature was perhaps Utopia’s calling card – something for which […] read more
Utopia, une série pas comme les autres par Dominique Montay, France Posted on September 12, 2017May 3, 2019 “…La musique. Oeuvre de Cristobal Tapia de Veer, musicien de Dance canadien, qui nous pond une musique sortie de merdes séchées et d’os, pour un résultat là encore hypnotisant. Trois composantes qui offrent un tout d’une cohérence artistique remarquable. Une claque visuelle. Tout simplement une belle série…” Read the article here read more
The Crimson Petal and the White by David Butcher, United Kingdom Posted on September 12, 2017May 3, 2019 “…Everything contributes to the claustrophobic atmosphere: the dreamlike, shallow-focus photography; the strange, breathy music (take a bow, Cristobal Tapia de Veer); and tiny details like the hissing of the gaslights on the landing of William’s house…” Read the article here read more
Utopia (Diciottesima Puntata), Alessandro Giordano, Italia Posted on September 12, 2017November 3, 2021 “…Utopia coniuga il fascino per la cospirazione governativa, uno degli elementi base del buzz Internettiano, alla cultura nerd addicted, mai di moda come di questi tempi, filtrando il tutto attraverso una messa in scena di altissimo livello, dove la grande cura nelle ambientazioni e nella fotografia non è solo esercizio di stile ma parte integrante […] read more
