"A perfect follow-up that excels in all aspects of the craft. The cover, the plotting, the character work, the illustrations, the lettering, the overall design -- they all work in perfect sync to earn this issue the honor of Book of the Week and to make it a frontrunner for Single Issue of the Year."

— Ryan the Iowan , Weekly Crisis Comic Book Review Power Rankings

"I know absolutely nothing about Elephantmen and any related works. Remarkably, the story is incredibly easy to get. This is how to do a one-shot comic."

— Stefan , But Before I Kill You

"It's dark, it's frightening, it's deadly. I highly recommend this comic."

— Brandon Borzelli , Geek Goggle Reviews

"Less the tale of one of the war's characters than the story of a character in the war, 'Yvette' traces the character's arrival at unabashed brutalism -- both a necessity for her to keep living and in many ways, the point where she stops living."

— Brandon , Comics For Serious Readers

"The comic looks great, and ends with a last page both surprising and genuinely funny."

— , Things I Like

"A great Yvette story. I just really enjoy this series issue after issue."

— Darrell Ferguson , The Life of Darrell

"All-combat action from the days when giant talking animals fired guns and swiped swords at China's military across the disease-ridden ruins of Europe."

— Joe McCulloch , Jog - the Blog

"Elephantmen is a surprising series, you should be picking it up!"

— , metalocalypse

"This is a brutally harsh story, one that fits well into the mini-series, and Starkings does his usual excellent job giving us a character who is pushed to the brink and tries desperately to hold onto her humanity."
