Editorial Reviews

"A fearless experiment in storytelling." (Jason Wilkins, Broken Frontier)

“Both the art and writing compliment each other in profound ways, really hammering home a world that is blurred between fantasy and reality.” (Keven Skinner, Fox Force Five News)

“As much gritty noir-flavoured thriller as fantastic mythical escapade, Underworld overlays the classic poem’s thematic skeleton with a grimy modern visual skin of vice and violence which is chillingly authentic and masterfully evocative, but never forgets that at its core the story is about a fallen hero finding redemption through struggle…” (Win Wiacek, Comics Review)

“An amazing, if disturbing, experience – and experience is definitely the right word here. This isn’t just a comic, it’s a glimpse into insanity. I’m impressed, because I didn’t think comics (as much as I love them) could be quite so affecting. This is a story that will stay with me for quite some time, I’m sure of that.” (Zoe Kirk Robinson, webcomics.com)
