Reviews
An extremely beautifully written book, and it doesn't shy from issues that are close to home. It is going to make you feel uncomfortable at times and some art is meant to challenge you. -Major Spoilers You very much feel drawn into the story, and the added wrinkle in the last act will definitely hook you. -Black Nerd Problems A potent reminder that while fiction can ultimately do very little to alter the horror outcomes of reality, it can at least offer solace in the guise of revisionist-and cathartic-fantasy. -Comicon.com The story we need right now. It's great to see a tale told from a marginalized group's perspective in the comic book medium. -Monkeys Fighting Robots
