THE WEEK IN REVIEW
"If the Hellboy family books keep coming like this, my Best of 2014 list will lose vacancies quickly. “Abe Sapien” is an outstanding book that sets the tone for the coming year at Dark Horse." - Bloody Disgusting
"The visuals in Abe Sapien #9 are among the best in the series so far. Furthermore, the story is getting really interesting with many different factors being set up for future development. For fans of the Mignolaverse, this book is a terrific read on its own or as a companion to the flagship B.P.R.D. title." -All Comic
"With an incredibly intricate plot and breakneck pacing, this issue carries the story right along and was a blast to read." - Adventures In Poor Taste
"The story is very much starting to pick up and quickly from the first issue which is what shows how much potential this book has. There is a good balance between action and storytelling that doesn't leave you questionable about what takes place." - Geeked Out Nation
"Never before has tearing through a hoard of tattooed, bug infested, naked zombies with one's fists looked as easy. Both "the Cowboy" and Geof make the effort involved look natural. And once again I am completely blown away by the amount of detail penciled on each page. It is just astonishing." - Unleash the Fanboy
"A four issue fight scene shouldn't work this well but looking back it has been an experience. Its like Yuen Woo-ping on acid and this arc has been a rare treat. Its bravely original, refreshingly unique and has an ending that will change your day. Also, just look at that cover." - Big Comic Page
"Brian Wood brings the book roaring back to form with an expertly crafted opening chapter to this two part tale. Most of us probably didn't need a reminder that Darth Vader was a badass, but this story does that as well as any you'll find in the movies or expanded universe." - Adventures in Poor Taste
"Honestly, I don't know what to expect next month. If it's anything like it was here, I'll probably have to take a nap or something afterwards. I see some pretty intense stuff coming up, and I'll be damned if I'm going to miss a single thing." - Comic Bastards
