Elephantmen #18

"Churchland knocks it out of the park. Starkings' storytelling is masterfully done. If you aren't checking this book out, you need to go get it. Great storytelling, phenomenal art -- it's just a blast."

— Tyler , One Shot Presents

"...a vignette about hero Hip Flask's Asian-American sidekick fantasizing about a relationship with him while dealing with an unwanted pregnancy that's much better than it has any right to be. More pieces in the fascinating mosaic Starkings is slowly building."

— Steven Grant , Permanent Damage

"Marian Churchland is simply amazing. I can't get over it. I read through the issue, then promptly ran to the corner to cry. It was that good."

— Andre Szymancowicz , Groove Junction

"This was a powerful issue. It's done extremely well."

— Darrell Ferguson , Life of Darrell

"Gorgeous art, an intriguing story, and perhaps the most thoughtful storytelling of the week makes this a can't miss issue and an easy choice for this week's Book of the Week"

— Ryan The Iowan , Weekly Power Rankings @ Newsarama

"Starkings is one of those people who has become a very good writer. It's a quieter issue, as Miki tries to work through her relationship with Hip. Of course, there’s something sinister happening in the background, but given this comic, that's not surprising."

— Greg Burgas , Comics Should be Good! @ CBR

"Churchland's art...adds a dose of realism that the series has never really demanded from its art before. The minor details add a realism and even a disorganized pathos that rushes through the story of the troubled Miki character."

— Brandon Soderberg , Comics for Serious Readers

"Miki becomes a more layered and complex character in this issue, but the real grabber is the potential story seeds that are planted here. Another compelling story in a fantastic series."

— Brandon Borzelli , Geek Goggle Reviews

"Churchland's soft, marker colored art perfectly captures the tone of Starkings' story. Her pages made Elephantmen #18 a highlight of the comics I've read this month."

— Nick , StarClipper Comics, St. Louis, Mo.

"The best part of this issue though has to be the artwork of Marian Churchland. The comic was done in marker, and has a very soft palette to it, which suits Miki's personality perfectly. I feel like Churchland is going to be a major talent, and I'm thankful Starkings gave her this opportunity to shine."
