  Comic Spectrum - Bob Bretall May 29, 2013

  Deathmatch is a “Top 10″ series for me (out of >110 titles read this month), so absolutely worth checking out. The final panel in this issue was another “WOW!” moment that both evokes an image of Big 2 events and makes me want to come back for issue #7 so I can see the spin Paul Jenkins is going to put on it. This series is highly recommended, though not something to jump on board with mid-story. Check it out in collected editions if you missed it in monthly issues. Read Full Review

Which, if my math is right, takes it down to just being “fucking awesome!” Read Full Review

  Comic Book Resources - Kelly Thompson Jun 3, 2013

  In a book that is literally about characters battling to the death in a "match," it's nice that Jenkins is taking the time to really think about what might make these pair ups interesting and give the battles an incisive physicality. It's the polar opposite of lazy superhero writing and is the kind of smart writing that makes this surprise title stands out from the superhero comics crowd. Read Full Review
