"Visually, the various artists give a nod to great dystopias past -- Blade Runner via Neuromancer via Brazil -- but the sepia-tinted color palette and soft, painterly shading set it apart. The character designs in particular are spectacular, and the whole is a lightning-fast but addictive read." — , Publishers Weekly "It amazes me what a fantastic series this is, all the way from concept to the final presentation." — Christopher Neseman , Around Comics Podcast "If readers can get lost in the Elephantmen's world -- and I highly recommend that they do -- they also will be rewarded richly with a compilation of art styles in almost every issue." — Joseph Szadkowski , Mr. Zad's comic critique "The guys who put together this book have a flair for graphic design, and I'm sure the design for this hardcover will be as impressive as the contents within it." — Randy Lander , Comic Pants
