JOE: Sierra Muerte is Fiffe's first major development with IDW.

Editorial Reviews

"New fans, don’t be pushed away. You’ll love this book because even though it uses a nostalgic set up, it’s a great story that will pull you in and make you want more." -441Mania

"Fiffe has a knack for putting together stories that feel like they’re a fan playing with the toys and just seeing where it goes. An over-the-top and at times humorous adventure." -Graphic Policy

"We're always happy to see Michel Fiffe's name attached to a new project, especially when that project involves Fiffe putting a subversive spin on an old favorite franchise." -IGN

"Fiffe brings his very distinct sequential art sensibilities to a classic pop-culture property, making it both completely new, unique, and a love letter (that) old die-hard fans will love." -Monkeys Fighting Robots

"IDW should be applauded for championing such an auteur-driven piece. We need more of this in comics." -Multiversity Comics

"In many ways, this is the comic that Michel Fiffe has been working on for his entire career. Fiffe’s idiosyncratic pop art style of thick lines, ben-day dots, and clashing colors could only belong to this artist. The lighter details in some panels convey a sense of Fiffe pouring all of his energy into a singular burst of art, and what came out at the other end was pure unadulterated enthusiasm." -Newsarama
