Comics that tell stories that are from the writers souls. - Pop Cults It's really an interesting plot and you see bits of heroism, revenge, lust, loss, and more all wrapped up in a beautifully illustrated package. - ScienceFiction.com Death Sentence Volume One is a wonderfully written and masterfully illustrated saga filled with superpowers, sex and unforgettable moments that deserves your immediate attention. - Entertainment Buddha With sharp dialogue and expressive illustrations, Death Sentence Vol. 1 is a fun, fast, uncompromising ride that keeps the reader craving more. - You Nerded An incredibly gripping story that is tough to put down. The characters are both believable and unattainable, the plot is very unpredictable and really quite unique, and the art is top notch, giving readers a sense of immersion in the story that is essential to its overall feel.

Relating to video games for a moment, this outrageous mix of sex, drugs, violence, superpowers and comedy is like something born from the brilliantly twisted brain of Suda51 -- only it was created by two dudes from the UK. It's weird, but that's the genius of Death Sentence. - VG Blogger Death Sentence is a prime specimen of how to do modern "superhero" books right.

DEATH SENTENCE makes you look up, wonder and ponder. As over-the-edgy as it gets. As a fan, this is the stuff I want! - Broken Frontier
