Featured on Publishers Weekly's Monster Comics coming out in Fall 2025!"Best Comic Book Writing, Best Adventure Graphic Novel of 2025" BORG"This looks outstanding!" - Gail Simone (X-Men, Rebel Moon: Nemesis, Deadpool) “Like only The Pirates of the Caribbean before it, Kraken packs action, romance, high adventure, horror, and just straight up weirdness into every moment.” Phil Hester"Imagine if H.P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard co-wrote a seafaring epic... and then handed it to a talking skull for edits." Kevin Conran (Sky Captain: World of Tomorrow)"Shannon Eric Denton spins an insane ripping yarn that will leave you wanting more Kraken in your life! The pages explode with an overload of monsters, nazis and pirates in the true David Hartman style! Brockmolla!” Rob Zombie (Devil’s Rejects, Halloween)“Like a mash-up of Lovecraft and Indiana Jones, Kraken is a two-fisted horror tale that will delight. Hartman and Denton have created an epic graphic novel which will be (hopefully) the first of many.” Don Coscarelli (Phantasm, Bubba Ho-tep, The Beastmaster)“Dastardly and long-extinct Golden Age villains are turning in their four-color newsprint graves as Denton and Hartman slouch, slither and shoot their way into the ranks of neo-monster comics madness with the horror-heroic debut of KRAKEN!” Dan Brereton (Nocturnals, Giantkiller)“Indiana Jones mashed with Cosmic Horror, Kraken is a delight! Denton and Hartman create a colorful, bloody, action adventure featuring your new favorite monster-hero!” Rob Schrab (Scud The Disposable Assassin)“A Helluva ride! Kraken takes an adventure pulp story vibe and mixes it up with Lovecraftian monsters and creates a wholly original story. Denton and Hartman pay it off with a great ending that makes me want to see these characters again!” Kevin VanHook (Bloodshot, Batman, Lobo)“A swashbuckling horror yarn that combines the spirit of the Mummy with the panache of Errol Flynn. I ripped through this tale, eager for every page, filled with imagination and quirky humor that made me desperate for more. What a joyous, fun, book!” Jeremy Adams (Flash Gordon, Aquaman)"The writing is very interesting. I like writers who take some pretty big swings and writer Shannon Eric Denton does just that. The artwork by David Hartman is the same for me." Forces of Geek"This is a graphic novel for readers who enjoy quick action and fun characters." SF Book"I loved this comic and I am looking forward to see the next comic with Captain Kraken." BookishFairyTail"Kraken is a fun blend of classic serial adventure and light Lovecraftian horror." Comic Watch"The art's great. Fantastically done. The story is exquisite." Drop the Spotlight"Kraken is a fun ride from start to finish, harkening back to the serials of the early-to-mid 1900s. [...] A lovechild of Indiana Jones and H.P. Lovecraft." GamingTrend Comics"I read it in one sitting and absolutely adored the art on every single page. The story was fast-paced, and I loved the big reveal..." Abby Patrick"If you like action, guns, girls, flying boats, explosions, weird tentacled creatures, Kraken is the book for you." Simon's Horrible Hothouse of Horror"The art drew me in. The execution was really fantastic." TheComicBookReport"It’s got a bit of a “What if Indiana Jones was a cosmic horror?” vibe, and I’m extremely here for that. [...] A fun one to check out for a late addition to your Halloween TBR!" Grimdark Dad"It’s a complete action adventure, with Captain Kraken, his old pal Luis, his friend Goldy, and her squad of raiders. [...] Sign me up!" BORG"If you’re a fan of Indiana Jones, H.P. Lovecraft, The Shadow, Doc Savage, etc., check out Kraken. You’ll have a fun time." Cherry the Geek TV"The characters are finely drawn, Luis in particular being a vital presence, and Shannon Eric Denton’s dark adventure is as riveting as David Hartman’s tenebrous artwork."
