Publisher Marketing: "The storytelling is tense, taut, and emotionally resonant...[Romera and Standal] excel at depicting hard lives, addiction and desperation...The conclusion proves satisfying, though new readers are advised to start with the first collection...The knockout conclusion of a smart and humane graphic novel crime series." ― Booklife "A graphic novel that steals your attention from start to finish." ― Write with Light Productions "Standal has great range as a writer" ― Fanbase Press "C.J. [Standal] is good at breaking down people, and situations, to where we feel for them and can even imagine ourselves in their situations." ― Comic Booked "Romera's artwork reminds us of David Mazzuchelli on Batman: Year One crossed with the late and lamented Darwyn Cook, all bold but simple brushstrokes and strong shadow work giving life to each panel." ― Pipedream Comics "The artwork by Juan Romera did not disappoint. The scenes provide easily interpretable body language and facial expressions...Although printed in black and white, I can almost see the redness of the blood." ― Readers' Favorite "Rebirth of a Gangster by CJ Standal is a book that is one part tragedy, one part redemption, and all parts gripping. It's a dark graphic novel filled with twists, death, and intrigues, but with a surprisingly uplifting message." ― The International Review of Books Publisher Marketing : Marcus Thompson and Hunter Anderson have always been in the dark when it comes to their parents' past.
