Editorial Reviews

"This is a cute story and the artwork is absolutely wonderful. There’s something really classic about this character that I enjoyed quite a bit." -- Blake Petit, Evertime Realms

"Broderick is a one-man show in this comic book. He wrote it, drew it, inked it, lettered it, colored it, and probably turned the wheels of the printing press, too. It would be nice if all our friendly neighborhood comics shops carried these excellent comic books. " -- Tony Isabella, Tony's Online Tips

"...this baby sparkles like a shiny new Christmas ornament. All I can say is hats off to Mr. Broderick for one of my favorite comics of [the year]. And just in time for.....Christmas Eve. Get one for yourself and a big stack for gift giving. -- David Price, Indy Planet
