Review Quotes

I wouldn't be in comics if it wasn't for Mike Allred.

Allred's art has a unique strength and clarity, which pairs modern comic aesthetics with classic four-color designs.

Love pours through on every page, in every conversation, in every endeavor he puts his mind and heart into. It's why I can't wait to work with him again--or to pick up his next comic--or to dive into this book!

--Matt Fraction
