Editorial Reviews

The greatest epic in the history of comic books.” —Los Angeles Times Magazine
 
“Intricately layered stories that combine folk tales, myths, religion, modern-day street stories and an ironic sense of humor.”  —USA Today
 
“A story about story, a myth about myth, a postmodern metafiction with word balloons.” —The Independent
