"Neundorf combines subtle abstract patterns with noirish angles to heavily coat the script
in a gritty, chaotic atmosphere; a territory somewhere between Templesmith, McKean, and
J. O’Barr. This is how the comic book format should be utilized more often. This kind of ingenuity is what a cutting edge medium like comics should be all about."

Dan Schaffer (Creator Dogwitch, Indigo Vertigo and Scribbler)
"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 team of Moyers and Neundorf, a book which deserves to be a hit on the indie scene in comic shops both in Canada and in the United States. 5.00 out of 5 Stars"

"Reminiscent of Ashley Wood and Ben Templesmith, those of you who like clean and clear images may want to stay away, but those like me who like moody, imaginative, and painterly styles will want to seek this one out."

"In Scorn, Moyers and Neundorf have crafted a story that uses mood and tone as much as
a primary character as the drawn characters themselves. Scorn is one of those rare books that really deserves multiple readings."
--Sean Taylor (Writer of Gene Simmons Dominatrix IDW)
"This is the very first comic for Septagon Studios. That in itself makes this a unique book in the market, but I also think the art and the storytelling are fairly unique to the comic as creative use of textures, words and abstraction give this book a unique feel. It is definitely worth a look. Fans of The Punisher, Moon Knight, Snakewoman, CSI and Kabuki would definitely find something appealing in Scorn. If you like sex, violence and action, then this comic is for you; give it a shot."
--Joshua Pantalleresco, The ComicBloc Spotlights: Scorn
"The violence is tempered with character driven emotion and offers the reader an intriguing start for what could become a promising series from Septagon Studios."

"Moyers does a pretty good job of setting up the late teenager, and we can understand Michael’s rash decision to turn to street justice when he believes the cops have failed.
What Moyers adds is just a sprinkle of dark comic timing, which is surely influenced by
his stand-up comedy."

"Scorn takes the reader on a sketchy look at what everyone has once imagined. Through Michael, the reader can find within themselves a realization that sometimes it is better to stand aside and by watching how taking it upon ourselves ends, we hopefully will discern
some truth of the madness that is human emotion. In today’s world, it is refreshing to get
a look inside how one man’s villain might actually prove to be a real hero."
--Cory Teague @ Silver Bullet Comics
"Yes, you could expect this [art style] from a fantasy title, or the Sandman series. Whether fortunately or not, this is the first "crime on the streets" type story to use that presentation, and I like the effect."Overall: 4 stars.

"It washes over you like a troubled, sepia-colored dream. A very promising debut"
--Brian Holguin, (Writer Spawn: Godslayer)
"The levels of mystery in issue 1 alone could fill up a season of LOST. Moyers and Neundorf are a team to look out for."
--Christian Beranek, (Co-creator, Silent Devil's Dracula vs. King Arthur)
"Scorn is certainly a gorgeous book, with art on par with the best from IDW and a story as classic as it is uniquely handled. Scorn is definitely a surprise, and a good one at that."

"The Canadian comic put a place on the comic industry for septagonstudios.com
A frightful yet true too Life story of what is happening in todays society with random violence."
--By John L. Daniels Jr, (Standouts of 2007)
"It's a revenge tale where someone is wronged and the only solution seems to be a trip down a path of violence. It's the art that once again impressed me the most here. Philipp Nuendorf knows how to convey mood with his loose detailing and highly textured and layered renderings. There's something gritty and real that makes this tale much more than simple revenge fiction."
---- Ambush Bug, Aintitcool.com
"The artwork reflects Michael's fractured and maudlin outlook. I am curious as to how he will deal with the combined attentions of both the police and his nemesis and what Michael will turn into. I'm also curious as to what form the art can take as Michael goes through further stages in his ongoing drama."
--Kevin Sutton, Scorn Issues One and Two Reviewed by ComixFan
"Neundorf's artwork strikes me as something of a cross between the styles of Ben (30 Days of Night) Templesmith and Daniel (Loveless) Zezelj. It's also comparable to the styles of such artists as Duncan (Hellboy: Darkness Calls) Fegredo and Sean (Criminal) Phillips. The silent opening sequence also put me in mind of Jonathan Hickman's unconventional layouts and panel progressions in his noteworthy limited series from Image Comics, The Nightly News."
--Don Macpherson, Scorn Issues One Reviewed by Eye on Comics
"The art gives Scorn a very unique look. It's rough, grainy and gives the book the kind of noir ambience it needs. Artist Phillip Neundorf shows a ton of promise. I for one would love to see this style in other comics. It really stands out. A respectable second issue. While Scorn isn't for everyone, it's definitely the kind of book you want to read if you like violent, gritty stories."
--Joshua Pantalleresco, Scorn Issue 2 Reviewed By The ComicBloc
"I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised that this was pretty good. The story held up for two issues and even managed to get a little characterization in. I mention this because most new comics are all action and setup and forget to introduce us to the characters."
--Lee, Comics and Other Imaginary Tales
"Artist Philipp Neundorf has a very interesting style, equal parts Ben Templesmith and Ashley Wood. There is a lot of interesting things going on here with perspective, color, and layout.I can certainly say that it doesn't look like anything else on the stands. Give it a look."

"Has the potential to be a brilliant little comic."

"Michael's life is getting more complicated. It is gritty story telling along with art to match, that make this comic worth picking up."
