Here's some reviews that have already come in...
"Starkings and Moritat showcase near perfection in wrapping the miniseries with a shocking and powerful conclusion. The haunting vision of this issue shows what horrors war is capable of unleashing, while the craftsmanship shows what effectiveness comics are capable of producing. My strongest of recommendations go out on this one. (#1 Book of the Week)"
— Ryan the Iowan
, Weekly Power Rankings
"Richard Starkings and artist Moritat bring (the war) to life in vivid, gory detail, bringing about some of the series' greatest thrills to date. Yes, it's the final issue in the series, but I've just been enjoying it so much that it deserves this last shot at being spotlighted."
— Tom
, Gosh! Comics, London
"Beautifully written, the art was lovely, everything was just well done. I don't know why I never bothered to check this out sooner. Fantastic work, guys."
— Greg Anderson

"American comics with a European flavor produced by Europeans. I'm running out of things to say about this series (with) Richard Starkings' excellent writing and Moritat's wonderful artwork."

"I picked up the first 4 issues of Elephantmen on your recommendation and to tell the truth, it was creepy. And not the good kind of creepy. The kind of creepy where you wake up with a spider crawling on your face and he gets away and you can't get back to sleep thinking he is still around somewhere and you feel phantom itching that you think is the spider. Yeah, that bad creepy. I may never recover."

ELEPHANTMEN: WAR TOYS #3 (of 3)
by Starkings & Moritat
cover by Boo Cook, variant cover by Ladrönn
VICTORY!
Even in the face of blistering resistance, it seems that
nothing can stop MAPPO's advance across Scandinavia. But
as Hip Flask comes face to face with the last vestiges of
humanity in the frozen Scandinavian wastes, he discovers
that only the dead see the end of warfare.
Five-page story preview >>
"The (graytone) style gives Richard Starkings' gruesome
battlefield tale of a woman trapped behind Elephantman
lines additional horrific weight. It's always nice to
see a decent story well and straightforwardly told."
— Steven Grant, Permanent Damage

"The story, though deceptively simple, is incredibly thought provoking and powerful. Equally as powerful is the black and white art by Moritat. The visuals are equal parts propaganda newsreel footage and Saving Private Ryan, with an amazing sense of texture and intensity."
— Ryan the Iowan
, Newsarama Weekly Review Power Rankings
"Action abounded, the story was enriched (pun intended), and after the shock of not seeing any color last issue I got back to the business of loving the detail in Moritat's work. I continue to be surprised by this team at every turn. (4.5/5)"
— Chris Murman
, Line of Fire Reviews
"I feel the sense of world building in a big way with all of the Elephantmen books, and this miniseries is a great example of that. I love all of the work done in these books."
— Adrian Schnyder
