    Much like the most likely ill-advised reference mash-up above, Umbral has been a completely unexpected surprise. I had no idea what to expect from this series, but have been downright delighted by the outcome. Read Full Review

    Issue three on Umbral keeps up a rapid and exciting tempo. The story and characters maintain to be as engaging as they have been through the first two issues. The dialogue feels natural and charming. If that does not sell you, the art alone should.

    The MacGuffin - Matt LeMaire Jan 20, 2014

    Three issues in and UMBRAL continues to be a fantastic read that seems to be more grand and interesting with each passing issue. With some great writing and art, it's no wonder that this issue is such a hit. You'd be a fool to pass this one up, so head to your local comic shop and pick up your copy before the Umbral devour it.

    Three issues in, "Umbral" remains intriguing, with a fresh modern voice paired with high-fantasy in a way that feels relatable and cool. Rascal is a fantastic protagonist and the fact that she zigs when you think she's going to zag, even just in dialogue, is incredibly refreshing and fun. Read Full Review
