Praise for Shaolin Cowboy:
“Shaolin Cowboy: Cruel To Be Kin is a work of art in more ways than one. It's positively weird, and likely the weirdest comic you'll read all year. Pair that weirdness with the incredible visuals, and Shaolin Cowboy will take your breath away. There's nothing else like Shaolin Cowboy in comics or in any other media.”—AIPT Comics
“It’s bravely original, refreshingly unique and has an ending that will change your day.”—Big Comic Page
"ANYONE, and I mean ANYONE who likes kung-fu, cheeky humour, over-the-top action, and beautifully detailed artwork–you need to stop reading [this] and go read this book.”—Comic Addicts
"The Shaolin Cowboy is incredibly odd, incredibly dense, incredibly thrilling in a way that gives me a small little high every time I read an issue…”—Comics Bulletin
