Editorial Reviews

Skottie Young’s name on a book means I buy it. He’s pretty much the most interesting creator around at the moment." —Mark
Millar



SHELF-AWARENESS — This dark fantasy is both whimsical and stirring, dealing with a runaway boy, toxic masculinity and intergenerational family trauma that sparks the narrative. Oh, and there's a talking fox, too. Well known for his recent comedic turns on Deadpool and
I Hate Fairyland, Skottie Young strikes a sincere balance, weaving a coming-of-age story both wondrous and weighty. Richly supported by Jorge
Corona's lush, sweeping illustrations, this title will appeal to fans of
Stranger Things and The Graveyard
Book.






“I’ve read a lot of comics in my life, but few of them hit me in the heart as much as Middlewest. We all know Skottie Young is a visionary artist, but Middlewest marks his emergence as a wonderful writer as well.
It’s heartfelt and gorgeously drawn. I’m in for the long haul. It feels like a long lost cousin to Sweet Tooth and Essex County.”
—Jeff Lemire
