“Only Albert Monteys and Ryan North could have adapted the
unadaptable with absolute cleverness and absolute compassion; this
team created something so poignant and profound, an incredible feat
and mastery of craft that will awe uninitiated readers as well as
the most faithful fans of Vonnegut's work. I was blown away.”
*MARGUERITE BENNETT, Batwoman*
“To capture the details of Slaughterhouse-Five would be difficult
enough—to capture the spirit of it seems impossible. But North and
Monteys do exactly that, in a way that feels effortless and
playful, without losing the beauty, the charm or the sadness of
Vonnegut's original work. A masterful adaptation, highly
recommended."
*AL EWING, We Only Find Them When They're Dead*
"Ryan North distills Vonnegut's signature rhythms into a perfect
panel by panel choreography and Albert Monteys' skillful artwork
brings energetic new angles to the subversive cosmic philosophizing
and ruefully dark humor that's made this book beloved by
generations. This version of "so it goes"? So, it's
great."
*EVAN NARCISSE, Rise of the Black Panther*
“I’m in awe at the mastery of the medium shown in
SLAUGHTERHOUSE-FIVE. Ryan and Albert have perfectly adapted
Vonnegut’s masterpiece to comics, elevating the story in a fresh
and beautiful way, taking full advantage of the inherent language
of the medium. They’ve created a benchmark far out of reach of the
rest of us in the industry. I … hate them?”
*CHIP ZDARSKY, Sex Criminals*
"With this work, North and Monteys have created the best, and most
effective, graphic novel adaptation of a literary novel in recent
memory."
*Library Journal, Starred Review*
"This tragic, bleakly funny take on Vonnegut's defining work will
send enthused readers back to the source, and deserves a place
beside it on the shelf."
*Publishers Weekly, Starred Review*
"Exceptional."
*Brian K. Vaughan, Saga*
"...North harnesses his dry-humored goofiness to translate what is
arguably one of the most darkly comedic stories ever told in
fiction, hammering things home with delightful cartooning from
Monteys.”
*Polygon*
"Simply amazing work. An absolute tour de force, both respectful
and audacious in the treating of the material."
*Kieron Gillen, Once & Future*
