Reviews
"Between Lemire's penchant for building sweeping yet personal stories and Nguyen's gorgeous, painterly art, the book is stunning to behold." -Comic Book Resources

"Lemire (Essex County) smoothly doles out information while amping up the tension, and the innocent, friendly character of TIM-21 creates real heart in the midst of extreme violence. Nguyen's watercolor artwork is marvelous, using the medium's transparency to create fluid and subtly lustrous pages." -Publishers Weekly, (starred review)

"Lemire and Nguyen just pulled the curtain back on the medium's new best science fiction heartbreaker." -Matt Kindt, Mind Mgmt

"Hauntingly beautiful sci-fi that manages to be both epic & powerfully intimate. Masterfully done." -Jason Aaron, Southern Bastards

"I love Jeff Lemire. I love Dustin Nguyen...This is a 5 star book!" -Mark Millar, Kick-Ass, Kingsman: The Secret Service, Hit-Girl

"Exciting." -The Los Angeles Times' HeroComplex
