Reviews

Razor-sharp critique packaged as cute-kid-and-funny-animal cartoon.Booklist

"McMillan's expressive style, pared down to the basics and intensified over the years, allows for instant communication of thoughtful rage a fast-moving page-turner.The Comics Journal

"In As The World Burns, satire bites through the sharp vampire-pointed teeth of McMillan's corporate overlords initially, the graphic novel's underlying message may seem heavy-handed and preachy, but the writing is so acutely entertaining that the message doesn't feel force-fed Plus, the drawings are so darn cute."Palm Beach New Times
