"The (graytone) style gives Richard Starkings' gruesome battlefield tale of a woman trapped behind Elephantman lines additional horrific weight. It's always nice to see a decent story well and straightforwardly told."

— Steven Grant , Permanent Damage

"The story, though deceptively simple, is incredibly thought provoking and powerful. Equally as powerful is the black and white art by Moritat. The visuals are equal parts propaganda newsreel footage and Saving Private Ryan, with an amazing sense of texture and intensity."

— Ryan the Iowan , Newsarama Weekly Review Power Rankings

"Action abounded, the story was enriched (pun intended), and after the shock of not seeing any color last issue I got back to the business of loving the detail in Moritat's work. I continue to be surprised by this team at every turn. (4.5/5)"

— Chris Murman , Line of Fire Reviews

"I feel the sense of world building in a big way with all of the Elephantmen books, and this miniseries is a great example of that. I love all of the work done in these books."

— Adrian Schnyder , The Effete Bomb

"Although part of a larger universe, a far smaller story was told in superbly taught, thrilling fashion."

— Matt T. , Paradox Comics
