Reviews

“An instantly compelling book.” aiptcomics.com

“… an intriguing premise for a series – so much so that you wonder why no one else has thought if until now.” Comiccon.com

“The Ward #1 has everything, from suspenseful drama to a wide assortment of yokai, monsters & other preternatural creatures, creating a wondrous world, albeit with a splatter of blood & broken bones here and there–nothing that St. Lilith’s and its brave residents cannot handle.” CBR

“A sharp script and great character driven art make an engaging read from page one. It’s Grey’s Anatomy meets B.P.R.D. and it’s done very well.” Comic Watch
