"Moritat nails the city streets in the 23rd century nicely, and newbie artist Chris Burnham heats up Mystery City with a wordless contribution, nicely wrapped between two covers by the great Ladronn and veteran David Lloyd."

"This is a beautifully made book in every facet. From the main story, the extras on the writers, artists and cover art that frequent every book, to the great flip-style back up story, I am excited each month this book comes out."

"The flip story is 'Silent Running' and is worth the price of admission."
