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
