Praise for Oscar Martin's Solo Vol.1: "The fantastic anatomy of bipedal animals is smooth and natural, and with fluent, energetic tiered panels of fighting action ... [Martin's] mythos holds the promise of standing alongside Stan Sakai's Usagi Yojimbo or Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird's original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles." - Publisher's Weekly "A beautifully drawn, gripping action-adventure, coming-of-age story" - Library Journal "Martin has a gift for scripting action-packed panels, choreographing fight scenes that could be used as storyboards for any Hollywood blockbuster ... 10/10" - The Pullbox "Turns blades into ballet and combat into a craft. I started reading late one night, intending only to make a start and I read it all the way through in one sitting" - Geek Native "This graphic novel is for sure one that should be added to your comic book collection" - Pastrami Nation "Creates a kinetic energy that flows throughout the book" - Comicon.com "Achilles reborn as a rodent under the guise of Ridley Scott's Gladiator" - Comic Lounge "A cocktail of creative brilliance ... Oscar's artwork is simply out of this world ... 5 out of 5" - Pop Cult HQ "[S]ome of the best action I've ever seen in comics. You can clearly see the motions of each character and it makes for an engaging read. It makes sense given the writer's background working with Tom & Jerry." - The 360 Mag
