  I believe this series was originally solicited for 6 issues. However, Escape has been successful enough to be extended. Hence the one month break between issues 5  and 6. Also the 3 month break between issues 6 and 7. This is to enable Rick Remender to rewrite the plot to be better told in a few more issues. This is always great news for the fans. This was well earned and to my opinion, necessary. Congratulations are in order. Read Full Review

  Escape #6 catapults Milton Shaw from fugitive to fortress-wrecking wildcard through Remender’s razor dialogue and Acuña’s mayhem mastery, cementing the arc as must-own essential. This issue earns premium stack real estate by dissecting bomber psyche amid tactical genius, delivering war comics that provoke thought while thrilling relentlessly. Skip at your peril; this is peak craftsmanship. Read Full Review

  I’m not exaggerating when I say that in the future, Escape will be considered one of the great war comics, and lot of it is Rick Remender’s personal connection to the material because his grandpa was a World War II vet. Read Full Review

  By the end of Escape #6, it's clear the creative team has Milton back on the ropes, sneaking about and escaping the best he can. Escape #6 thrives on controlled chaos. Rick Remender structures the issue around uncertainty, forcing readers to interpret every glance and shove as part of something bigger. The result is a tense cat-and-mouse experience that keeps you leaning forward. A tightly wound chapter that balances psychological pressure with bursts of explosive action, Remender’s knack for suspense and Acuña’s ability to turn even the smallest physical movement into a moment of life or death keeps your on the edge of your seat.

  The shadowy and emotional art of Daniel Acuña is a perfect complement to the writing. The emotions the artist is able to convey just with the facial expressions are a highlight of this issue. There is clearly a lot left to tell in the story of Milton Shaw. I cannot wait to see how he will ultimately complete the mission and hopefully return home. Escape is a highlight of the comic reading for the reviewer each month, and I hope you add it to your pull list. Read Full Review

  You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff

  Remender and Acuña have dug in for the long haul with respect to this particular story. It's taken. Saw quite a long time to get where he is right now. There's a lot of backstory that's been delivered to the page as well as the main thrust of the current adventure. But the current adventure has been running for kind of a long time given the fact that it's taken six issues to make it to the first big climax. It's pretty remarkable of that. A traumatic thriller of this sort can proceed forward as quickly as it does without rushing through a plot like this in the space of two issues. Very cool. Read Full Review
