"These comics are going to be most appreciated by middle grade kids up through teens who love a good scare and some ghastly and ghoulish monsters with lots of humor and art you can really get your teeth into.""It’s not every day you see a work that manages to capture universal themes and imagery in a distinct and wonderfully sophisticated style, and that reinvents the familiar in a wild crackle of creative energy."
