"I’m really thankful that there are publishers out there like Titan
Comics that are willing to step out of the box and publish comics
like Death Sentence. Comics that tell stories that are from the
writers souls." - Pop Cults

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. This is a book you won’t want to put down –
even if you are a little disturbed at times." - Games Fiends

has outdone himself here." - Adventures in Poor Taste

humor, edgy darkness, realism and solid characters. If you’re

an “adult” comic book, check out Death Sentence by Titan Comics." -

"The awesome comic series." - Destructoid
"The physical book in and of itself is great, the story is very
interesting, and the art is pretty cool." - Outright Geekery
"Death Sentence is a solid title. It covers sex, drugs,
rock-and-roll, the meaning of life, and demi-gods that walk among
us. I’d recommend it for the Ennis crowd. If you enjoyed titles
like Preacher it’s a must read as it retains that sort of flavor to
it." - Hey Poor Player
"Superbly written with visuals (Mike Dowling illustrates) that send
shock through the reader, Death Sentence is a book to fall in love
with." - Horror Novel Reviews
"I simply have not had this much fun with a comic book in a very
long time." - Pop Mythology
"Confidently written and artistically captivating, Death Sentence
is a bold and brash newcomer to the comic book biz. 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. In this character-driven story about
terminally-malignant, sexually-transmitted superpowers and the
fallout that ensues, both writer Montynero and artist Mike Dowling
prove to be a masters behind the creative wheel." - Comic
Bastards
"fun to read and hard to put down." - Examiner
"The characters are well-developed and lively and Dowling's design
work is impressive – his art has a great, Sean Phillips-esque feel
to it. I'm fascinated to see where they go.” – Brian Cronin,
Comics Should Be Good, CBR
"An edgy, moody feel, with plenty of mystery and fear in the air.
The premise and unique characters are intriguing." – Danica
Davidson, CNN, Los Angeles Times
I like the gritty artwork of ‘Death Sentence.’ It just exudes
sexiness, depravity – all the things you generally want in a comic
that’s reaching for an adult audience. – Latino Review
"This is the magic of comics. 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
