"BOOK OF THE WEEK. This smokey, gritty noir tale shows the brilliant range of this series and is a great jumping on point for new readers. I can't recommend this one enough."

— Ryan The Iowan , Weekly Power Rankings @ Newsarama

"An excellent, complete in itself short story, a nasty bit of noir vaguely reminiscent of THE SPIRIT."

— Steven Grant , Permanent Damage @ CBR

"A flashback within a flashback within a flashback within yet one more flashback just shouldn't work and, quite honestly, I don't know how Richard Starkings and Chris Burnham pull it off in Elephantmen #16 but they do."

— Scott Cederlund , Wednesday's Haul

"Deeply enmeshed in genre while holding on to its dystopian sci fi sensibilities, this story has it all -- bullets, babes, blood, the works! Subtle, smart and succinct."

— Hannibal Tabu , The Buy Pile @ ComicBookResources

"As my first foray into the realm of 'Elephantmen,' I was able to slot into the action, the actors, and the settings. I found myself liking the concept, and curious about other adventures with these 'Elephantmen.'"

— Doug Zawisza , Comic Book Resources

"Suddenly the series has another extension of the main cast and he's a very intriguing character. It's a very good issue, (and) a perfect entry point into this universe."

— Brandon Borzelli , Geek Goggle Reviews @ the Comic List

"It's a great issue to show off just how many enemies the Elephantmen have out there. Add in a bonus story, letters, notes and a killer Blade Runner cover and this comic gives you way more than your typical $3 comic."

— Ryan-less Rankings , via Newsarama forums

"One of the things that makes Elephantmen so interesting is that it is decidedly non-linear in the way it goes about telling its stories. I have the feeling that the Silencer is going to become a major player in the series, and I like the way that Starkings is doing nothing to tip his hand as to where this title is going."

— James , Things I Like

"Yet another excellent issue of Elephantmen. That's not terribly shocking, is it?"

— Greg Burgas , Comics Should Be Good @ CBR

"I bought (this) on a whim due to liking what I've seen of Chris Burnham's art on the deviantart. It hooked me. That might have been a mistake on my part. Because that night, I went home with pretty much everything on the (Elephantmen @ WonderCon) table."
