    Comic Bastards - Dustin Cabeal May 24, 2013

    I really don’t know why you read this review; you should have just gone over to Comixiology and bought it from the Monkey Brain Comics section. If you’ve yet to check it out then buy all three. This issue is sixteen pages long (not including bonus material) and I believe that’s about the same as the others as well; meaning for the price of a normal print issue you’re getting a ton of content. It’s well worth it and you definitely don’t want to be the last person to check this book out. I wish the story could go on forever, but I know that it has to end… doesn’t mean that I don’t still wish it though. Read Full Review

    “High Crimes” is available via Comixology for 99 cents. Unless you are under 17 or particularly squeamish when it comes to occasional graphic depictions of violence, you need to be reading this book. Keep up the outstanding work, Chris and Ibrahim. And hey – I'll gladly send you a care package or two if it means we get the fourth issue a month from now. Read Full Review

    All of this character work is made all the better by Moustafa's art. He gets to really showcase just how versatile he is in this issue ranging from quiet, contemplative moments to some great action scenes that pay homage to classic John Woo movies. The way the violence is juxtaposed with quieter moments is incredibly effective, as is the non-traditional panel structure which makes for some gorgeous pages. However, the best is the attention to detail in every panel. There are small touches that would probably go unnoticed if they weren't there, but their presence just makes everything else feel more genuine. Read Full Review

    Comics: The Gathering - Forrest Hollingsworth May 28, 2015

    Ultimately, this issue struggles a bit more than the first two and could use some breathing room but, it’s still a thrilling installment and I couldn’t be more scared and excited for what happens next. Read Full Review

    The Weekly Crisis - Grant McLaughlin May 19, 2013

    That being said, this is still an excellent comic by a great creative team. I've been enjoying each issue of Christopher Sebela and Ibrahim Moustafa's High Crimes, but it really feels like they have found their stride here. Confident storytelling is tied with wonderful art, I cannot wait to see what comes next, and as always, the 99 cent price tag is mighty hard to beat. Read Full Review
