Review(s):
Green and Rodriguezs unique visual style depicts familiar fantasy settings with a cinematic sensibility (think a tactile, immersive Studio Ghibli film), bringing their world to life with magnificent lighting and quality constant verbal jests, visual puns, and all manner of humorous allusions A new contender for Kazu Kibuishi and Ethan M. Aldridge die-hards (with a higher page count to boot)
"In vibrant lineless art thats reminiscent of classic animated films, Green and Rodriguez bring the castles, towns, and forests in the world of Nothing to life with expressive characters, a smattering of Spanish and Esperanto, and a strong cliffhanger that leaves room for a second installment."
"Loaded with humor and thrilling magical combat, this spin on the chosen one trope wrings out a lot of fun... strong characters and intriguing worldbuilding make for a gratifying heros journey."
