"This is the type of comic you can hand to anyone and say 'read this, you'll like it,' and if they have a heart, they probably will. I highly recommend this...to any comic reader, newbie and veteran alike. There is nothing bad about it. Brilliantly executed book that will leave you wanting more." -Comic Vine
