Review Quotes

An action comic with heart--and some genuinely clever twists.-- "Publishers Weekly"

The full-color illustrations by Kivelä and colorist Wright are worth the price of admission alone, and Hazan's muscular writing meets the story's gritty demands. [...] A satisfyingly bloody criminal-on-criminal pulp tale.-- "Kirkus Reviews"
