"The mythology-expanding story is backed by artist Guinaldo's evocative depiction of the rain-sodden eco-catastrphine that is 2029 LA. Violent (including an eye-gouging) but supremely stylish" - Total Film
“Johnson and Guinaldo have managed to hit that nostalgic sweet spot of familiarity and extension with a strong third act helping to elevate the story enough to warrant further exploration” - SciFi Now
“The artwork is fantastic. There’s a dark gritty feel to it that also feels just as faithful to the films . . . You can practically hear the soundtrack of the original 1982 film playing in the background" - The Hashtag Show
