Editorial Reviews

"Golden Rage's not-so-farfetched dystopian island of castaway old ladies will [make you] question your attitude toward the aging women of this world. A very important subject of self-reflection indeed."

Elsa Charretier (Love Everlasting)

This series is one that has quickly grabbed my interest.

Battle Royale meets The Golden Girls with dashes of Agatha Christie and Logan's Run. I'm all the way in!

Kelly Sue DeConnick (Bitch Planet)

As charming as it is disturbing.

Comic Book Resources

"The work is as heartbreaking as it is entertaining in its commentary on feminist rage and getting older, and ideal for those who understand that cattiness isn’t far from sincerity, and sometimes people just need to be stabbed."

Booklist

"This clever, sometimes tongue-in-cheek adventure will draw in fans of dystopian mysteries and tough heroines."

"Lush color schemes reflect the gore and backdrops of each scene, with dialogue supplemented by first-person narrative and reflection from a starring character each issue. The work is as heartbreaking as it is entertaining in its commentary on feminist rage and getting older, and ideal for those who understand that cattiness isn’t far from sincerity, and sometimes people just need to be stabbed." —Booklist
