Testimonials

Here’s what collaborators have said about me:

“This project has been an absolute blast for me artistically, and I’d totally be up for working together again in the future, should you have a story that you think I might be a good fit for. Thanks again for your patience and encouragement throughout. You really are a stand up cat. ” — Adam Sward, artist on Dark Art.

“Chad is an incredible creative writer and a great person to work with. Everything in his work is so clear and very believable and that makes it a pleasure to work on his scripts. His storytelling is very well paced and his panel to panel transitions are smooth and enjoyable. He’s destined to be among the very best.” — J.C. Grande, artist on Black Salt.

“The first thing that attracted me to drawing The Three Princes was it being a gangster story, something like Once Upon A Time In America, which is one of my favorite films. When I read Chad´s script I realized it had all a good story should have: great plot, believeble characters, and fine story line. Understanding what Boudreau wanted in every page was very easy, for he´s very thorough depicting each scene. But most of all, it was a pleasure working with the guy!” — Manoel Magalhães, artist on The Three Princes

“Chad Boudreau is without a doubt one of the best writers I’ve worked with so far.  I would say he has the ability to peer into my head and make my ideas dance with a life I could not have imagined.  From my experience, he has gained the ultimate weapon in a writer’s arsenal: a mind unbound by restriction. His words render any subject, from the darkest bits of humanity to the most absurdly drawn humor, in a way that exponentially draws you in and leaves you wanting more.  Some of his ideas are universal in nature, yet expand on what has come before in unexpected, and ultimately satisfying ways. I could not have found a better writer to help me build my playground.” — 3′LL, creator / artist of Special Edition.

 ”When you work on a large project, you have to stay focused and Chad was able to keep me interested with a fine script and really strong characters. I loved doing it and hope it is a success and we can do something else soon. I like working on stuff that makes you think a bit and Chad’s work certainly does that.” — Louis Manna, Psychosis artist, about Psychosis and working with me.

Here are some good words that have been said about my work:

“A dark, rich anthology. There are acts of violence in profusion: also addictions, betrayals, uneasy consciences, moral ambiguities, bad choices and inadequate redemptions. Most importantly of all, there are strong creative voices, using the comics medium to do ambitious things.” — Mike Carey (writer of The Unwritten, Hellblazer and other comics) about Acts of Violence.

“I’m not one for gratuitous, over-the-top violence, but I am one for good stories, and the four tales here – The Three Princes, Six O’clock Noose, Reggie-Town and The Orchard – are excellent reads. Without histrionics nor finger-wagging, these stories stare at a black spot in the human psyche then take a picture. Grade: A+.” — Orthocomics about Acts of Violence.

“”I’ve read quite a few emergence stories over the years since I first discovered the superhero fiction and they’re usually an interesting read. This tale was all the more interesting because it wasn’t so much an emergence story as and acceptance story. This was an interesting angle, especially from the point of view of someone who loves the whole superpower idea: how could you not accept or enjoy such abilities? Well, Chad Boudreau gave me a good answer to that: it’s a hell of a lot to live up to, especially if others have done well before you.  The other aspect to the story that I enjoyed was the action scene in the store; there was a real sense of anticipation and silence before everything happened.” — superhero fiction fan PaulMc about my short story “Friday, 3 AM”, which appears in A Thousand Faces #9.

“This comic is a supernatural mystery done right, with lots of jumps and jitters mixed with emotion and drama. If Psychosis was a movie I’d bet you’d be jumping out of your seat. Psychosisis a superb debut, it gave me goosebumps.” — Dana Tillusz, comics retailer and reviewer for comicreaders.com, about Psychosis.

“I was drawn to Psychosis mainly on it NOT being a “modern horror” story. Much of today’s horror, from comics to movies, is all about “how gross and violent can we make this?” and frankly that bores me. Buckets of blood and dismembered babysitters are gross, but they don’t really scare me. A story like Psychosisis more about unnerving you.” — Kel Nuttall, letterer of Psychosis, on what drew him to the project.

“I was impressed with the depth of the characters and the total approach to the story. There was real darkness there and something I could get into. The characters took on a life of their own and it became something of a challenge to make them work and flow since it was a big book with a lot of stuff happening throughout– not just any action and superhero stuff, but real human drama.” — Louis Manna, artist of Psychosis, on working on the project.
