Mother, Come Home
“Hornschemeier retains an audacious sense of what is possible in the graphic arts.” (Steve Duin - The Oregonian)“Hornschemeier doesn’t simply push the panel edges of the comics medium; he designs entirely off the page, encouraging other creators to join him over the horizon.” (Chicago Tribune)“Hornschemeier uses simple line art and varied color palettes for conveying emotional and narrative detail, capturing graphically with a sort of exquisite beauty the symbolic fantasies of Thomas and the grief-induced psychosis of his father.” (Library Journal)“Nothing is visually beautiful, and while all of this would seem to work against the impact of the story, it ultimately conveys a feeling of overwhelming nervousness, or waking up way too early in the morning and blearily staring into an unfamiliar world, and this is what infects you until it all makes sense.... should be a welcome addition to any collection.” (Collin David - Graphic Novel Reporter)“Mother, Come Homeis a subtle, dark story about death and madness and fantasy… It's not bleak, though; …perhaps Hornschmeier's lesson is that we all can, if we try — if we step outside our rituals and fantasies and reach out to each other, we can make it through.” (Andrew Wheeler - The Antick Musings of G.B.H. Hornswoggler, Gent.)“Paul avoids the hammering sentimentality and labored connect-all-the-dots obviousness of too much contemporary work, in any media.” (Jonathan Lethem, author of The Fortress of Solitude and Motherless Brooklyn)
