Shortlist for the 2015 Cartoonist Studio Prize for Best Comic of the Year - Slate.com
"It looks, with eyes wide open, at the teenagers who are awkwardly and sometimes, due to the
increasing availability of heroin, dangerously coming of age in Manchesters thumping music
scene." Katie Haegele, The Believer
"Its a coming-of-age tale if there ever was one." Frank Santoro, The Comics Journal
"It feels personal, and intimate in a way that belies its status as fiction." Tim O'Neil, Onion AV
Club
"Mardous black-and-white line drawings are expressive, focusing primarily on the interactions
between characters but also capturing moments of solitude in a spare but effective way." Eva
Volin, Booklist
"If the biggest problem with a book is the fact that I didnt like that it ended, Id call that a
success." Kevin Bramer, Optical Sloth
"Mardou pens a compelling story . . ." Lady Collective
"The tale is broad in its thematic scope, covering everything from religion to drug use to teenage
relationships and the search for ones place in the world." Joshua K. Connelly, Riverfront
Times
"Mardou does a wonderful job of capturing the aimlessness of this in-between age, as well as its
unexpected joys." Publishers Weekly
"Mardous narration is wonderful. She paces the story quite well making every page feel intimate
and personal." Dustin Cabeal, Comic Bastards
By the end of this volume, Sky in Stereo shifts into something unmoored and unpredictable,
imperceptibly tracing the path by which Iris's inquisitive and skeptical nature slips into simply
becoming adrift Sean Rogers, The Globe and Mail
