Industry Reviews
1
'terrifically funny' ... Holgate's b&w cartoons mix splatter-and-slime-heavy action sequences with humorous character profiles (a portrait of a "winged wretch" points out the creature's "huge, hooked talons like a freaking velociraptor"), all playing into Jack's gamified take on post-apocalyptic life. Snarky end-of-the-world fun. Ages 8-12.', Reviewer, Publisher's Weekly
'this is the perfect book for any kid who's ever dreamed of starring in his or her own comic book or video game.', Critic, KIDSREADS.COM
'This is a book that will keep you turning the pages, regardless of your age, and is a fantastic book for reluctant readers. It's easily accessible, it's funny, and there's plenty of monster action.', Stephanie O'Connell, 100% Rock Magazine
