    We The Nerdy - Kierra Prince Sep 1, 2014

    Afua Richardson's art still hasn't made any major grounds and will still be a thing that polarizes people. I would've potentially liked to see more of an exaggerated graffiti look to certain pieces, especially as Destiny discusses sacrifice. Richardson does draw quite a few pages in issue #5 with a dark palette of mostly blues and blacks and I feel like that was a great artistic choice when it came to hammering home how bleak of an issue it was. Again though, if you didn't like the art before you won't like it now and if you did like it, you'll still enjoy it. Read Full Review

    Genius #4 exists as a worthwhile continuation of a property that deserves a spot on your pull-list. In short: the comic book is better than good as it glides to a recommendation. Read Full Review

    Genius is building to its conclusion, and I am onboard to see how this all plays out. I hope Bernardin and Freeman have a good ending in store. They took such pains to reach it, Id hate to see it spoiled at this point. Read Full Review

    AIPT - John F. Trent Aug 26, 2014

    The book ramps up the story and keeps the action and tension flowing; however, there are some odd writing choices halfway through that drop the reader out of the story and minor art details that feel out of place. Read Full Review
