reviews:

"Silady explores his ludicrous premise with intelligence, yielding powerful drama...   A-"
- Entertainment Weekly

"Raw, smart comic... visually stunning..."
- Cory Doctorow, Boingboing.net

"Silady has caught lightning in a bottle here, and the end result is one of the best graphic novels, and arguably the best debut, in the last five years... There's the same slightly crumpled, wry idealism at work here as there is in the very best episodes of The West Wing... unmissably good."
- Alasdair Stuart, Fractal Matter
