"Milan K. is one of those European comics that are fantastic action from the first to the last page, but unlike American comics without the suits and spandex. Milan K. is much in the vein of XIII and probably even more like Largo Winch." - 9th Blog "Sam Timel is no stranger to high-concept action in his series Milan K." - Broken Frontier
