Reviews
"For a creative team this brilliant, it really means something to say that they are at the top of their game. But sure enough...some of their best work!" -Monkeys Fighting Robots

"A classic Cold War thriller in the making. But it's also far more ambitious than that, with a sci-fi storyline at its heart and visuals evoking 2001: A Space Odyssey... Part John le Carre and another part Arthur C. Clarke." -Comicon.com

"All in all, sci-fi fans, LEMIRE fans, SORRENTINO fans, Image fans, this is a must buy." -Black Nerd Problems

"...Ambitious and innovative comics storytelling..." -ComicBook.com

"Has plenty to offer to fans of American history, science fiction, and good storytelling." -Comic Book Resources
