Reviews

"'Stoneheart' is a classically told fairy tale that will capture you from the first sentence with its charm and wit."

— Paul Skevington , SFCrowsnest

"I wholeheartedly recommend this, even for those of you who don't read - or don't like - comics."

— Echopulse , Random Access

"'Captain Stoneheart and the Truth Fairy' is a very imaginative tale that is well-told with a mingling of narrative and dialogue. Bachalo's pencils are incredibly detailed and a pleasure to delve into."

— Bob Holt , Comic Snob

"As you might guess, there's a moral at the heart of Flask's tale, but that never obscures the joyous fun being delivered by the creative team. The best issue of the title to date."

— Marc Mason , Comics Waiting Room

"This is what happens when the writers really focus on putting out a story that they care about and not (just) focus on flash. -- Pick of the Week"

— Darrell Ferguson , Life of Darrell

"What I really liked about this issue, is the entire time you're reading it, you're thinking of Hip Flask and everything he's done... and here he is sitting down with this little girl, telling her a story to calm her down."

— Nick , Variant Edition podcast

"Written like a fairy tale, this was beautifully illustrated, with a bittersweet ending. "

— Matt Knicl , The 217

"It took out my mind and replaced it with a pleasant jelly. You should pick this up and if you don't you're STUPID."

— Flip , Comic Flipper
