Even with Gods and Giant Swords, Cates makes this story feel so relatable. Between the over the top moments, we find the dialogue between Roy and Janey grounding the story. In a book that is about an outrageous(ly good) story, Cates grounds it with unfettered emotions and character building. Read Full Review

By the end of this issue, you will be dying to read the next installment in the series. God Country continues to impress with great storytelling and beautiful art that mesmerizes the reader. The creative team has made this series a must read. The tale of a man with Alzheimer's and is family struggles are just as compelling as a "god sword" battling demons and that is what makes God Country such a great comic book. Read Full Review

I think I really love God Country. Read Full Review

This has become the series I recommend to those that are burnt out on the clichd superhero comic book market. Cates crafts another masterful script, with Shaw and Wordie creating amazing visuals that bring this surreal world to life. God Country should be on your pull list: it is my favorite Image Comics series out right now. Read Full Review

“God Country” #3 continues the hot streak that this series has been on. If it isn't something you're reading, fix that immediately. Read Full Review

God Country is more impressive every month it's released, and issue #3 may be the best yet. Donny Cates' writing is top notch, and even in a bleaker, less visually-engaging setting, Geoff Shaw's art is expressive, moody, and satisfying. If the team can keep this up, we're in for one hell of a ride. Read Full Review

“What it really was, and Lord help ‘em, they couldn’t have known this, was a time to batten down.” The issue warningly starts off, but more than anything it’s time for readers of all kinds to be picking this book up. Read Full Review

Like the Quinlons themselves, there's not a ton of flashiness to God Country #3 " instead, there's a solidness and relatability to this book (despite the space monsters) that gives the narrative some weight even despite the no-frills plotting. There's something special about God Country, and while it remains to be seen if this story can maintain its edge moving forward, for now this is a series you shouldn't ignore. Read Full Review

Turn on that Johnny Cash and crack open a can of beer. Be ready for the hurt that comes with getting another shot at things. God Country #3 isnt afraid to play in the muck of what comes along with being the mess that is a family. Its going to hurt, but no one said that getting another go at getting to the heart of it all was going to be fun and games. You can take a swing at the big bad that made it that way, but youre still going to have to sit down and talk it out in order to really get past the pain. Read Full Review

So far the most bada@# book i have read this year.

EXCELLENT. God Country is emotional and epic, the perfect mix for a great ride.

NEWS : The writer Donny Cates confirmed the series is a 6 issues mini.

Easily my book of the week. The art, the writing, the family drama, the knives... there wasn't a damn thing about this book I didn't love. The hook at the end already has me extremely hyped for what comes next. Definitely give this one a read.

Book of the Year to date.. No Trade waiting on this bad boy

Another great issue of a comic that mixes together sorrow and redemption in a way that creates a melancholic undertone. The mythos and gods behind the stories are continued to be explored and continue to develop great characters.

Very good, but it doesn't quite live up to the promise of last issue's ending. We get another cliffhanger here. Will the next issue be worth the wait? I hope so.

Such a great series!

So I have been bashing this series from the start, but I haven't dropped it yet. Couple things; Valofax is a dumb name and a talking sword is even dumber, BUT I really liked the interaction between Roy and his wife over beers. And the art was great. The panel of the dead creature sneaking up behind Roy was pretty spooky and the end made me want to read the next issue - if I can just get past the talking sword... A better book involving a cool sword (that doesn't talk) is Rumble. Highly recommend.
