[Violence Valley] is drawn in a lush brushy style that is part John K bravura and part Charles Burns-like perfection in actual execution of lush brush technique. It's one of those wordless Jim Woodring-type freakout acid trip sequences where the little tyke winds up inside the bowels of the dog somehow and finds inner peace or something--or so you think, and then it's all blood and guts and more amazingly articulated brush lines that delineate said guts that look more like psychedelic patterns than guts.--Frank Santoro The Comics Journal Jesse McManus [can], draw in a beautifully cartoony way with great lines and fun sense and sensibilities. Jesse McManus is doing some fantastic work that is exciting, dynamic and full of so much energy.--Robin McConnell Inkstuds
