Reviews

"Motter has created his own off-beat, stylized cityscape, and even when it engages with contemporary culture it does so in it's own unique way." Timothy Callahan, ComicBookResources.com

"It's unlike anything else on the shelf right now-- and if you happen to spot something that is, it's probably because Motter's work influenced it." -IGN
