Editorial Reviews

Maestros is manic magic! We've waited too damn long for Steve to have his own book but this was worth the wait. Maestros is a Skroce Hadron Collider where panel-packed action slams into his wicked sense of humor releasing some of the most original and gleeful fun comics has seen in some time.” -Lana Wachowski, creator of The Matrix and Sense8

"Funny, violent, psychosexual insanity." -Comic Book Resources

"A deliciously detailed journey into the bizarre." -ComicBook.com

"Skroce’s dynamic style and pacing keeps the pages turning so fast that fans might want to read this one two or three times in order to catch the exquisite detail (enhanced by the work of colorist Dave Stewart) and impressive worldbuilding on display. Tons of fun, with the welcomed promise of future volumes.” —Library Journal, starred review

“A beautifully drawn book pulsing with details you can’t imagine, featuring wizardry cloaked in a sheen of sarcastic sleaze.” —The Oregonian

“This acerbic book promises to be a nice balance to all the more serious fantasy stories in comics right now, and that it looks good while doing it is icing on the cake.” —Uproxx
