WHAT THEY'RE SAYING
“An amazing blending of manga style art with American sensibilities in story-telling.”
Caleb Gerard, Comic World News

“…some really neat ideas and gorgeous artwork. Recommended.”
Randy Lander, The Fourth Rail

“Neighly again proves himself a wise author, keeping his characters silent except when absolutely necessary and, even then, parceling out such small pieces of information that we can’t help but keep reading to solve the mysteries.”
Jason Schachat, Fanboy Planet

“Neighly moves things along with an efficiency that minimizes dialogue.”
John Snider, SciFi Dimensions
