Reviews

“Begins as a riff on The Man in the Iron Mask but quickly twists, turns, and defies easy categorization. It includes mystical rituals, a secret history of the world, talking gorillas, an exploration of sex and gender roles, and brutal brawls between superhuman combatants. Fun to read and epic in scope.” - Library Journal Starred Review

"Shot through with provocative spins on historical figures ... traversing a timely subtext around gender identity ... This transcendent if bloody tale of duplicity and redemption takes adventure comics fans on an appealing and entertaining voyage" - Publishers Weekly
