Media Reviews

Brian K. Vaughan's PRIDE OF BAGHDAD is easily amongst the finest pieces of comic book literature I have ever read and is also the best comic I have read, and probably will read, all year. Maybe even this decade. Ain't It Cool News What I would contend, is the best novel, so far, on this most painful and tricky of subjects The Sunday Telegraph * The next big thing. - Ain't It Cool News (on Y: The Last Man) * A seriously funny, nuanced fable... 'A' - Entertainment Weekly (on Y...) * Handled with a wit and sophistication that leaves most comics standing - Time Out (on Y...)
