    What an exciting end to this arc! We won't get another issue until May, and that's really too far away. Yes, Nailbiter is dark, and it's gruesome. But it's also intriguing and compelling. Each issue is better than the last. The storytelling and artwork are impeccable, and it's definitely one of the best comics out there right now. Go ahead. Pick up Nailbiter. It's all right to be a little bloodthirsty. Read Full Review

    Some could be bugged by a break in a series, though creative teams need that time to breath in order to maintain quality for a series like Nailbiter. Read Full Review

    Issue 20 of Nailbiter has it all and more. If mystery, suspense, and buckets of blood are your thing, get on this, and support a great comic series! Read Full Review

    I haven't been as enamored with this story arc as the first few, but Devil Went Down to Georgia definitely stuck the landing. We may have to wait until May 4 for issue #21 (AAAAARRRGGGHHHH!!!!), but you better believe I'll be counting down the days on my gnarled and chewed fingertips. Read Full Review

    Comic Vine - Mat 'Inferiorego' Elfring Feb 3, 2016

    It stinks that this book is going on a bit of a break, but it truly goes out on a high-note, in the most disturbing way possible. Williamson continues to grip the readers in with shock and awe with some tremendous art from Henderson and Guzowski. There are some moments here where the reader wish more would happen with the secrets of Buckaroo, but overall, this was a fantastic book and a series you need to read and catch up on, if you're missing out.

    IGN - Jeff Lake Feb 4, 2016

    Nailbiter's latest arc comes to a close, Joshua Williamson and Mike Henderson delivering a finale laden with killer reveals and plenty of arterial spray. Considering the somewhat lengthy release gap between this issue and the next, in many ways issue #20 reads a bit rushed, the various payoffs and extended revelations not quite aligning with the work put in to get there.

    Flickering Myth - Zeb Larson Feb 3, 2016

    I don't really care what comes next for this book, nor do I care much to continue reading it. The things that made it funny ended a long time ago, and we never had enough invested in the characters to treat it like a drama. Williamson has made it pretty obvious that the FBI is either guilty or involved in a cover-up. Who cares what comes next? Read Full Review

    All-Comic - Erik Gonzalez Feb 3, 2016

    This is the first issue where one might feela little disappointed with Nailbiter, especially since it closes an arc. The necessary beats were there, but failed to resonate as intended. Considering how strong this series is, it has earned itself a little wiggle room. Even with the flaws, the comic is still enthralling and fellow readers will no doubt want to see where the story goes next. Of course, pick up this issue to keep up with the series, but just know its not up to par with past material. Read Full Review
