LIBRARY JOURNAL (STARRED) -- “Kirkman, creator of “The Walking Dead” series, has launched another grim and civilization-menacing serial. The artwork of Azaceta is bold and course, with sophisticated and dramatic coloring. The overall effect is atmospherically creepy and yearns to be read. The television series is already under way.”
