“Gorgeous.”

“Arresting . . . Able to convey some things that text—and even a TV
show—never could.”
―The New York Post
“A rich, visceral approach to telling the story.”
―Toronto Star
“Nault spectacularly transforms lines and color into fear,
resignation, desperation, the tiniest glimmers of hope . .
. most piercing throughout are her affecting use of color
(red—'the colour of blood'—and its portentous hues of orange,
crimson, rust) and scale (the indistinguishable handmaids trapped
in plain sight). She adds softness when Offred recalls her past,
with less-saturated colors for happier memories, thickened, darker
lines for the repetitive nightmares.”

"Nault spectacularly transforms lines and color into fear,
resignation, desperation, and the tiniest glimmers of hope."
―Publishers Weekly, starred review
"[Y]ou owe it to yourself to check out Renée Nault's take on the
classic dystopian story."
―Bustle
“There is magic in every detail of Ms. Nault’s adaptation,
thoughtfulness in each panel, an intentionality about every aspect
of it, the costuming, the sets and her interpretation of Gileadean
iconography is stark, sometimes shocking and beautifully
rendered.”
―Good Men Project
“There’s something about Renee Nault’s art that makes the reader
feel both closer to the action and completely, terrifyingly, alone
. . . This is the power of graphic novels―the ability to add that
extra emotional pull to an already strong story.”
―The Geekiary
“This is great comics. If you agree that the most basic definition
of comics is a fluid dance between words and pictures, you will
very likely be struck by the beauty of this book . . . What Nault
has done here is stunning.”
―Seattle Review of Books
"Haunting . . . Impossible to look away from."
―The Mary Sue
