"The game that is being played between art, captions and dialogue is profound. Strange Embrace isn't only well written and illustrated, it's funny with a lot of mystery. A rare gem indeed." (5/5 bullets) — Martijn Form, Line of Fire Reviews "Combine Hine's ability to write off-kilter stories with his sharp, jagged art and you have one cool book." (Top five of the moment) — Dan Grendell, Comic Pants "It's great. The story is told in such a crisp, deliberate manner, you can't help but feel the weight and gravitas. — B. Schatz, Done-In-One Reviews "It's a beautifully paced story that gives you more than expected with the art... this book was as good as it gets in the industry." — Chris Murman, Line of Fire Reviews "By far one of the strangest books I've read in a while." — Rae Rae, Pop Syndicate "I found this first issue fascinating, and I'm looking forward to the subsequent books. — Roscoe Ellis, Roscoe's Comics & Culture "My favorite book of the week, and a complete surprise. Great art, great storytelling, great mood, and I have no idea what will happen next, but I can't wait to find out." — Dusto, BKV.TV forums "I don't remember ever reading a better first issue. Some amazing character development and a story that sucks you right in." — Krispin, CGS Podcast forums "Bought it, read it, loved it. Recomended reading." — daved and confused, CGS Podcast forums "For a grotesque, intricate and absorbing story told in words and pictures, a reader can hardly do better than David Hine's Strange Embrace. — Hodgson, Jack Faber "Sublimely creepy and atmospheric... also quite smart and surprisingly accomplished." — Marc Mason, Comics Waiting Room
