MEDIA REVIEWS
'Terrifically funny'... Holgate's b&w cartoons mix splatter-and-slime-heavy action sequences with humorous character profiles (a portrait of a "winged wretch... points out the creature's "huge,hooked talons like a freaking velociraptor...),all playing into Jack's gamified take on post-apocalyptic life. Snarky end-of-the-world fun. Ages 8-12.'- Publisher's Weekly
'This is the perfect book for any kid who's ever dreamed of starring in his or her own comic book or video game.'- Critic
'This is a book that will keep you turning the pages,regardless of your age,and is a fantastic book for reluctant readers. It's easily accessible,it's funny,and there's plenty of monster action.'- Stephanie O'Connell,100% Rock Magazine
