"Starkings tells of Sahara's history in a very direct, straightforward manner, but there are a slew of complex issues underneath each event. (Churchland's) minimal linework is surprisingly expressive and incredibly consistent. This issue ... will continue to resonate with you well after you are finished." — Ryan The Iowan , Weekly Power Rankings @ Newsarama "Incredibly well done. One thing I really like about Elephantmen is that you pretty much get a solid story in each issue. They are doing a great job of keeping it episodic while still building on a larger story." — Darrell Ferguson , Life of Darrell "Sahara is probably the most interesting of the human cast in this series and this comic shows you why. A highly recommended comic." — Brandon Borzelli , Geek Goggle Reviews "Beautiful artwork by Marian Churchland." — Jason Truong , Crooked Little World "Another fine issue of Elephantmen. Churchland's almost ethereal art fits well with the flashbacks to the savanna and the sterile atmosphere of the hospital. A powerful chapter in the ongoing saga." — Greg Burgas , Comics Should Be Good @ CBR "While Sahara has been more of a supporting character throughout this series, she is (actually) a key player in everything that has happened and will happen." — Scott Cederlund , Wednesday's Haul "I like Churchland's marker coloring, and there's little touches to her forms (particularly her animals) that suggest something interestingly liquid centered in her manga-informed character art." — Joe McCulloch , Jog - the Blog "I like getting a regular fix of Elephantmen. What really makes this issue stand out is the gorgeous marker art by Marian Churchland." — James , Things I Like "God I love this series." — Andrew Salmond , Grizzled Dog "Less a line being drawn between two disparate experiences than an artist and writer taking both on bravely with the same passion, empathy, and artistic aplomb." — Brandon , Comics for Serious Readers "Starkings tells of Sahara's history in a very direct, straightforward manner, but there are a slew of complex issues underneath each event.
