    I'm not sure what's next for the Fox after this as I don't think a new series has been announced yet, but when there is one I'll definitely be back. Archie's Dark Circle line of comics has been a pleasant surprise and The Fox stands out among them as one of the best. Haspiel and Waid tell a serious story without ever taking themselves, or more importantly The Fox too seriously. I'd encourage you to give this series a try as The Fox is a solid and fun comic done right. Read Full Review

    The Fandom Post - Chris Beveridge Aug 6, 2015

    The Fox took a bit but the series won me over completely with what it wanted to do, but mostly because it moved past Paul for a good chunk of it and worked his family. Things come full circle at the end here where Paul becomes an accessible and likable character that leaves me wanting to see more of the family business come to life and what fallout there may be from their interactions with Smile. Haspiel and Waid have put together a really fun book here that harkens to the past in a lot of ways but with the right kinds of modern touches to bring it all together. Haspiel's artwork in particular is a big sell simply because of the panel layouts and the camera work done to present the action, going from unusual places to give it a very distinct sense of self that makes it engaging to read several times to take in those aspects. Here's to more adventures with The Fox and his family in our future. Read Full Review
