MacLean has a winner here; even if we never see Aria and Jelly Beans again, this is something that will last. Two reads down, and already looking forward to having and reading a physical copy might be the peak of praise, especially if you knew the back log that threatens to come crashing down and kill me in my sleep. Andrew MacLean is a creator to keep tabs on, and this is, if you didn't piece it together, a book that you absolutely need to have/read/own/cherish. Read Full Review

ApocalyptiGirl is beautifully drawn with compelling characters and an interesting setting. While it suffers from a little bit of confusing narration and plot at times, overall it is a powerful story that I greatly enjoyed reading, especially given my background in creating a similar type of sci-fi/apocalyptic story. I heartily recommend that you check it out once it is published. I know I'll be looking for MacLean's name in the future. Read Full Review

Overall, ApocalyptiGirl: An Aria for the End Times was an enjoyable read. Though I would have preferred stronger world-building, Aria is a unique protagonist with an absolutely precious cat and both are the true strengths of the book. The artistic style only amplifies this strength and makes for a consistently engaging and solid experience. ApocalyptiGirl is a fine graphic novel debut for MacLean and a fine read for those looking for characters that have been created with care. Read Full Review

Apocalyptigirl: An Aria For The End Times is an ambitious, gorgeous addition to any comic reader's bookshelf. While a wider universe is hinted at throughout, if MacLean's story begins and ends here it's a satisfying trip to a strange new world, and a welcome introduction to a promising creative talent.

This is a book that anyone can pick up and enjoy. The age rating of twelve years old feels realistic as there is some violence and blood in some panels that might not be suitable for younger readers (even if it is drawn in a really cute style). It's a simple enough story that younger readers will be able to understand it, while still having enough nuance that older readers will get a little more from it. Read Full Review
