Review Quotes

"A cosmic murder mystery! Gavin Smith [corrals] an army of characters, each clamoring for their own space, and gives us a beautiful wending road that takes us to the sensational conclusion. I love Jason Aaron, but I enjoyed this better than the graphic novel it's based on."
- Tade Thompson, Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning author of Rosewood and Far From the Light of Heaven

"Of all the graphic novel to prose books I have read, SIN is one of the best... The book is fun, action filled, but also a good crime thriller." - SFbook.com

"ORIGINAL SIN is a fast, well plotted, action packed yet character-driven ride into Marvel's shadowy side of its stories. Casting spotlights on people we love to watch do amazing things but reminds us there are consequences and being good and winning are not the same. Smith delivered a tale I was not familiar with and I think any new Marvel reader would like me enjoy seeing this different spin on classic characters. Highly recommended and of course Excelsior!" - Runalong The Shelves

"This is a great read, very well told, and Smith really does bring the reader into the Marvel universe through his writing." - British Fantasy Society
