"A visually sumptuous work. Segrelles' talent as an artist makes it a worthwhile jaunt."
-Publishers Weekly
"10 out of 10! Excellent adventure book."
-Graphic Policy
"Segrelles' art is luminously gorgeous. His painted art has a compelling, almost supernatural feel to it. He brings his strange world to life with scenes that look like paintings from amazing fantasy painters like Boris Vallejo or Frank Frazetta."
-Comics Bulletin
"Absolutely beautiful. 7 out of 10"
-Sequential Tart
