Hazan is proving to be a master at dramatic tension time and time again. -- Comical Opinions Lady Marian is one bloodthirsty woman. The art fully brings this fact across. This take on Robin Hood is way different than anything you have ever read. -- First Comic News This team of artists continues to deliver highly strong, violent imagery and horrifically impactful panels, that drives this story and really makes the whole series stand out from any other re-imagined Robin Hood project in history. It's dark and twisted but never forced. It never feels like the imagery is forcibly gruesome. It only ever feels spot-on for the tone of the story and helps bring the whole world to life. -- Media Mallrat Nottingham challenges idol worship and the long held practice of canonizing atrocious human beings in stories and song. It's well written, beautifully drawn, and engages the reader from the very first sequence. Well worth the price of admission. --Brendan M.
