“An appealing cross-cultural love story.”

“Tuazon’s scribbly, scratchy line is the book’s secret weapon. He transforms what is otherwise a conventional narrative into a story viewed through a driving rainstorm or distorted sheet of glass. Everyone is a little fuzzy and instinct, even as he has an uncanny way of providing just enough identifiers for the reader to quickly decode each scene and immediately understand what’s happening and who’s acting. I’m usually not a huge fan of greyscaling, but Tuazon finds an ideal balance between light and dark. Tuazon captures both the naturalism of the setting and its characters as well as the expressionistic nature of the human conflict. In the hands of a lesser artist, The Broadcast might have been trite and too on-the-nose. Thanks to Tuazon, it has a raw and visceral energy that raises the stakes for the reader.”
