Lonely Receiver is the kind of book I felt like I haven't seen in years and years. It's the kind of project that I think each time I read it, especially in collected form down the line, it's going to have a different feeling and I'm going to get different things out of it. Which is what I find with Thompson's books in general. Jen Hickman's work here is just fantastic and so much of it at times reminded me of the artwork of Bernie Mireault and Tim Sale from the original ongoing Grendel series that I just fell in love with it more and more. The talent and skill on display in this book is just nothing short of amazing. Read Full Review

Gone. Like this series.
