Honest, unsettling, made with a tremendous amount of skill (all the while remaining stunningly unique), this is a comic to contend with... ...Themes of art, family, failure and fear all creep around the edges in a work that breathes thought and honed execution. -- Austin English, author of Gulag Casual Soul-searing memoir, tasting of dark introspection.

This isn't just a book for you -- this is the book for you. I still can't get it out of my head and have resigned myself to the fact that I probably never will. -- Four Color Apocalypse
