postapocalyptic hope and a pinch of
metamagic. Weighing in at 236 pages,

»Strange and disturbing and beautiful.«
Ho Che Anderson

»an art style that seems to me to combine Brian Wood
with Ben Templesmith, to jagged, hate-ridden, nervous effect.
I really like it, and I’m pissed off that my copy got mislaid.«
Warren Ellis

»Courageous and effective.
Simplicity justified by desperate
need for expression.«
Danijel Zezelj

»Mattias Elftorp’s comics will draw you in with their almost
manga-like and magnetic storytelling. It’s a rare treat to find
such a work of art so highjy personal, uncompromising and
with such frantic intensity.«
Åsa Ekström

»Elftorp actually does several things I haven't read or seen before,
which is impressive as the whole post-apocalyptic/cyberpunk genre
has been flogged to death many times over, as far as I'm concerned.
But it's the genuine feeling of the political convictions pulsating
thorugh Piracy is Liberation that keeps my interest going and that
is what will make me keep reading in the future.«
Fredrik Strömberg

»Mattias Elftorp's stories are dark, nervy, fine, and edgy,
as is his artwork. However as dark as the post-apocalyptic world
he envisions appears to be, it is a world full of promise.«
Carol Swain

»In Piracy is Liberation, the characters write the story and
Mattias Elftorp is their tool. And they couldn’t have found a
better tool. Mattias takes anarchy to a new level, breaking
not only the rules made by politicians and enforced by the
police but also bends the rules of storytelling, constantly
taking the medium into new dimensions. It’s uncompromising,
raw and filled with energy. You never know what will
happen next.«
Niklas Asker

»Uncompromising and amazingly well-drawn story, dealing with
important and current issues. Issues that should be debated
more but are completely absent in mainstream media.
Cyberpunk at its best.«
rama

»A brave, scary epic. Alan Moore and the Matrix morphed into
one, with a strong personal, refreshing grip.«
Alexander Bågenholm

»There's a subtle 'Fuck you' to everything [Mattias Elftorp does]«
Chris Hogh

»Kind of Neuromancer meets Noir by way of Lazarus Churchyard«

»Sure, it sounds cool, but he wouldn’t like it if someone
pirated his own comic«

»I found this comic on thepiratebay when I was a kid and
it changed my life!«
