    Arcade Kings feels like sitting at your favorite arcade game with a bucket full of quarters, a sour slushy drink, and some epic music blaring through your headphones. It's as much a great comic to read as it is a feel-good experience. Read Full Review

    You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff Jun 21, 2023

    Burnetts big accomplishment with the series thus far has been the ease with which hes given everyone very simple and instantly recognizable motivation for their actions. Arcade Kings isnt a world of simplistic notions of good and evil. So often, this type of story uses that dichotomy as a crutch to launch the action. Burnett is telling a simple action story without resorting to good and evil. Very cool.  Read Full Review

    ARCADE KINGS #2 delivers unrelenting fun. Its a fighting game captured in still images on paper, and yet somehow no less exciting. Burnett and his creative team have made something unusual and unique with this comic. Its worth a look for the visuals alone. Read Full Review

    These series is amazing. The story is engaging, and Dylan Burnett is incredible as the creator, writer, and artist for this series. If you ever spent time in an arcade placing your quarter on the game as you call next, you are going to love this story. A nod to anyone who grew up playing Street Fighter after school. There are a lot more details we will leave out of this review as this is a must read comic for any gamer fan. Read Full Review

    Comic Watch - Sean Winningham Jun 21, 2023

    In the current era where nostalgia is all the rage, Arcade Kings taps into an area of this genre that hasn't been explored and makes it a modern story that all can enjoy. Joe's journey keeps getting more suspenseful in every issue, and it's leaving the readers thrilled with its mystery and exciting fighting scenes. Read Full Review

    Arcade Kings' second issue can't quite match the same brilliance as its opener and it falls victim to repeating some of the same story beats (Joe comes to a new area, meets/fights some new characters, becomes friends with them, fights one of his dad's henchmen). Read Full Review
