"The idea may sound somewhat fantastical, but writer Richard Starkings does a brilliant job of grounding it in modern science, making his world seem like inevitability."
— Joe Keatinge
, Neon Monster
"ELEPHANTMEN is one of those books that has continued to improve the longer the series runs. You also get a ton of extras, adding extra value to the package. Consistently one of the best sci-fi series on the shelves."
— Marc Mason
, Comics Waiting Room
"A blistering collection. Twists, shocks and surprises await in equal measure for our heroes and don't stop 'til the very last minute. (5/5 stars)"
— Cameron K. McEwan
, Den of Geek
"Best ongoing series of 2009. This is a comic about society itself, and what moves men to kill and to love and to dominate and to create. It's a brilliant book."
— Greg Burgas
, Comics Should Be Good
"Subtle, smart and succinct."
— Hannibal Tabu
, The Buy Pile @ ComicBookResources
"That Elephantmen can jump from a super-sincere Hippo and cute girl in a diner to the war-torn future Europe is a testament to the series' balance of wide-angle socio-political pondering and humble, naturalistic characterization."
— Brandon
, Comics For Serious Readers
"Great storytelling, phenomenal art -- it's just a blast."
