"The series is continually one of the most engaging and beautiful books on the stands. It's a juxtaposition of beauty and horror, science and nature, the sacred and the profane that keeps me coming back issue after issue only to be more and more amazed at the heart of the series."
— Ryan the Iowan , Weekly Power Rankings
"It will challenge you, move you, and make you think about the world in which you live and the future to which we appear to be heading. Elephantmen is an example of what is best in not just comics but science fiction. (5/5)"
— Chad Boudreau , Comic Readers
"It's genuinely odd work... totally devoted to taking its author's playful ideas as seriously as possible."
— Joe McCulloch , Jog - the Blog
"Starkings' slowly-growing masterwork begins as a big, fun, loosely political sci-fi conceit and continually unravels into a series of ever-changing metaphors for homophobia, xenophobia, miscegenation, and racism, all caught-up in the fog of war."
— Brandon Soderberg , Comics For Serious Readers
"Elephantmen is one of THE best comics being published today!"
— Nick , Variant Edition podcast
"Probably the closest thing I've read to a perfect comic in a long time."
— Chris Neseman , Around Comics podcast
"Themes from Frankenstein and Planet of the Apes converge in these original, multi-layered stories."
— Erik Wise , via GoodReads
