"It deserves Eisner attention...a unique commodity: a comic with an honest-to-god stance on the underpinnings of civilization and the true meaning of life." -Starred Review from Booklist "In what is probably the most unexpected achievement in current comics, writer Russell (God Is Disappointed in You) manages to make the Flintstones relevant by being topical and candid." -Starred Review from Publishers Weekly "DC's new FLINTSTONES comic is brilliant social satire-yes, really." -The Daily Dot "An invitingly biting debut book that spikes the narrative with sharp one-liners and sly asides." -Washington Post "...easily one of the most compelling and interesting comics in a long while."-Paste Magazine "I never would have guessed that, out of all the books on shelves, THE FLINTSTONES would be the most satirical and affecting." -Newsarama
