Spy Seal [is placed firmly] in a milieu of fun and levity, and it reads like a throwback to a bygone era of uncomplicated, direct storytelling. It's fun in a way so few comics these days are, and that offers readers a particular satisfaction. -The Onion's AV Club The benign, simple font, an adherence to color fills instead of gradients, and an overall devotion to clarity (Tintin's Ligne claire style translates as clear line ) make Spy Seal look more like a relic that exists inside of Wes Anderson's head instead of a comic from a mainstream publisher. Fortunately, it is, and it is damn delectable. -Paste Magazine A Swinging Sixties spy caper in the guise of a Tintin pastiche... Working within the confines of a homage seems beneficial to Tommaso. The story is more structured and the humor sharper than is typical of him, and despite his adopting a European ligne claire graphic approach, the funny-animal character designs and the kinetic actions sequences remain recognizably his own. Tommaso has other series currently ongoing (She Wolf, Dark Corridor), but Spy Seal is the one most deserving of his creative energies. -Booklist Completely original, you won't find a book like Spy Seal anywhere else on the stands. -Uproxx
