Recenzijas
"Godzilla doing time in HBOs Oz is catchy shorthand, but it does not fully capture this comic."
* The New York Times * "This is a poignant, modern critique of culture in an easily accessible and satirical package. Fans of brainy, incisive comics should look no further than Kaijumax." * Booklist * Teens will be attracted by the idea of a jail for giant monsters and find themselves falling in love with, caring about, crying for, and wanting to kill some of the charactersboth monster and human. * School Library Journal * "Kaijumax is a heart-wrenching, socially conscious comic about monsters in and out of prison." * Paste Magazine * "The story is driven by sorrow, alienation, and rage against an oppressive system, and while there are plenty of moments of humor, Kaijumax goes to some very dark places." * AV Club * "One of the best examinations of race in comics is a bonkers comic about a prison for giant monsters."
