Raves and Reviews

“Twig may rank up among Image Comics' best series of all time.”

– ScreenRant

“A richly detailed fantasy land in the vein of The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth, or Jeff Smith's beloved Bone comics.”

– i09

"Twig’s journey provides plenty of daring escapades to please the adventurer at heart."

– Kirkus Reviews

"Concocts a beautiful assembly of colors, ranging from calming magenta to creepy absinthe, to depict the ever-changing topography...ends on a wild note, taking a simple journey to cosmic heights."

– Comic Book Resources

"The narrative’s gentle tone smartly contrasts the art’s occasionally grotesque visuals; in brilliantly hued palettes, Strahm renders distorted landscapes populated by innovative technologies, anthropomorphic ruins, and softly rounded critters sporting an astounding array of teeth. While Young’s plot follows a well-trod quest trajectory, clever tweaks and subversions keep it feeling fresh."
