Reviews

"Annable's illustration style, more in tune with animation than with traditional comics art, has a pliability that allows the stories it carries to veer from wild exaggeration to understated pathos at the whim of the artist." -- The Comics Journal "Drawing his usual rounded-triangle-with-tube-appendages figures, Annable artfully expands the slight scenario with establishing panels and sequences for several scenes and plenty of wordless development and reaction panels. The whole thing is intensely satisfying." - Ray Olson, Booklist
