"Can we please cast a binding spell between Christos Gage and Angel & Faith? It seems like a large number of the fan community have grown very attached to Gage’s brilliant handling of the characters. Well, here’s some good news for them: Dark Horse Editor Scott Allie states in the letters page of this issue that Gage will “be back in Season 10 in a big way, as will Rebekah [Isaacs].” Sweetness!" - Fanboy Comics
"I enjoyed reading Angel and Whistler catching up, Whistler was very well written and had some great lines this issue. Lots of good conversation about destiny and Angel’s relationship with Buffy." - Three If By Space
B.P.R.D. Hell on Earth #100: The Return of the Master #3
"Simply put, this is one not only one of Dark Horse Comics’ best series, but one of the best series on the market from any publisher! Oh, did I mention there are some wicked monsters in this bad boy? Yeah, that’s right. More monsters. Man, I love monsters. 10/10" - Read Comic Books
"Mignola and Arcudi definitely are keeping this title going strong, doing a great job of evolving the universe while still developing it from all the important facets of its deep, rich history. Tyler Crook and Dave Stewart as always make the book as enjoyable to look at as it is to read. Here’s to the 100th issue, and to a hundred more." - Darling Dork
Star Wars: Darth Maul—Death Sentence #4
"All and all I think this miniseries was a 5/5. It was what us Maul fans have been waiting for, for so so long. There was some epic fighting, some sick twisted Sith thinking and some really great art." - Comic Book Movie
"While this comic goes light on the titular Darth Maul, it will please those looking for a Star Wars comic that doesn’t feature Darth Vader, as all the good ones seem to do. Darth Maul -- Death Sentence offers up an enjoyable story that features my favorite new Star Wars character, Jedi Master Judd the dinosaur." - IGN '
