Reviews / Votes
"A potent reminder that while fiction canultimately do very little to alter the horror outcomes of reality, it can at
least offer solace in the guise of revisionist-and cathartic-fantasy."
-Comicon.com "An extremely beautifully written book, and it
doesn't shy from issues that are close to home. It is going to make you feel
uncomfortable at times and some art is meant to challenge you."
-Major Spoilers "The story we need right now. It's great to see
a tale told from a marginalized group's perspective in the comic book
medium." -Monkeys Fighting Robots "You very much feel drawn into the story, and
the added wrinkle in the last act will definitely hook you." -Black
