It was just a gift from Miki the cabbie, but now Hip's new iFrog, Wagner, gets into trouble of his own when a rival personal assistant challenges him to a duel!

"If you're the kind of guy who enjoys the alpha-male stride out into war like a god and smack his enemies with his manhood...this is the book for you."

— Chris Murman , Line of Fire Reviews

"ELEPHANTMEN is clearly a labour of love, not just for the fictional world within it, but the medium itself. "

— Adam White , Pulp Fiction Comics

"Moritat's simple linework allows for the gritty colors of their dystopian future to shine. Freshney and Steen's backup story is a great, light counterpart to the heavier main story. I want an iFrog."

— Brendan , PopCultureShock

"The great art, the narrative, the storytelling, it all works to flesh out the characters. Another great issue to an already stellar series."

— Darrell Ferguson , Life of Darrell

"If you're not reading ELEPHANTMEN #8 then... well, you're a big dummy."

— Chris Partin , comicbycomic

"Ladronn's style is really impressive. He captures the gesture of the figure perfectly. (Cover of the week runner-up)"

— Steve Blackwell , Wizard

"The story itself is very tightly written and very sad, and the art on both stories is just wonderful."

— Andrea Speed , ComiXtreme

"The thing that was really cool was, we're used to seeing peaceful Elephantmen like Hip Flask and Ebony, and now you have this warmongering, bloodthirsty Trench. It was a really good contrast."

— Nick , Variant Edition podcast

"Moritat has really grown into his own over these past eight issues, with this one being his strongest."
