The Wind in the Willows:
"A visual masterpiece-Rat, Mole, Toad, and Badger have met their Michelangelo. Every frame is drawn and colored with meticulous care. Every elegant page is composed with a dual purpose: to enchant the eye and to further the various narratives that make up the loose plot. Plessix knows how to advance and retard the story's pace. He knows just when to zoom in and when to pull back for a wide shot. The new illustrated version prompted a vivid memory of many long hours spent lying on my bed, spellbound by the adventures of D'Artagnan and Ahab and John Silver. Plessix's "The Wind in the Willows" is a book to get lost in-and "lost in" implies, if not a completely different world, then at least a place as alien as it is beguiling." -Malcolm Jones, NEWSWEEK

- Raves for the new Crypt!
"The art expertly fits the tales." -Booklist
"Along with chills and laughs, this tale delivers a smart, sharp jab at celebrity obsession - proving once again that comics are for smart kids." -Boston Herald
"The art is nothing like its dark and gory predecessor, going for a more cartoonish/manga feel. Which, I have to say, works just fine. If you can put aside preconceptions, you might give the new kids a try."
-Andrew Smith, Scripps Howard News Service
"The art has all the variation we expect from modern graphic novels, but the stories-"Body of Work" and "For Serious Collectors Only" -still have the moral center that made the ghoulish turns worthwhile. And the 1st comic book issue's cover's visual ode to Alfred E. Neuman- "What, me dead?!" -is a touch of genius."
- Sacramento News & Review
"Some of the art here is stunning-particularly Sho Murase and Carlos Jose Guzman's stylized figures in the fashion-themed "Runway Roadkill!"
- -The Onion
"Sometimes there's comfort to be found in simple pleasures, and CRYPT is one of them." -Bookgasm
- The Hardy Boys makes the list of Top 10 All-Ages Comics.
The popular, weekly comics newspaper, COMIC SHOP NEWS released a list of Top 10 All-Age Comics and the Hardy Boys was in the #7 spot. CSN writes that Papercutz "revamps the classic detective-brothers series for the 21st century in these fast-paced, instantly appealing mystery tales done in a light manga style. The classic Hardy Boys elements are here, but the modern look is much better than nostalgia for attracting new readers." They even mention that Nancy Drew is" just as cleverly done - and it has the same light-manga visual style that young readers find so inviting."

- OUR INITIAL LAUNCH GOT INCREDIBLE PRESS:
After a first early blare of trumpets from the Chicago Sun Times,
"The Japanese manga style graphics set the vivid action into fifth gear",
the press came in thick and heavy!
- A big piece in USA Today appeared with a major tease to it with a picture of the Nancy Drew hardcover book right on the upper right hand corner of the front page! "Nancy Drew is still the hippest girl in town!" (USA TODAY)
- The New York Times Magazine talked about the evergreen quality of Nancy on her 75th anniversary year and our graphic novels receive good attention: "Nancy Drew is cooler than ever having recently conquered the ultra hip medium of the graphic novel."
- Fox News presented Nancy Drew's history as a leading strong female character in pop culture leading to our graphic novels.
- Teen Newsweek did a piece May 8th with an emphasis on the Hardy Boys.
- Newsweek talked about the all new Hardy Boys!
- USA Today spoke of Zorro, including us: USA Today on Zorro
-
- Other press:
"Appealing artwork. The new Nancy is now a strong, complex character, and writer Stefan Petrucha's tale uses humor and dramatic tension to reach its satisfying conclusion." -School Library Journal
