    You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff Mar 30, 2023

    DC tried something very similar to this with a mega-crossover back in the late 1980s called Millennium. It stumbled over the weight of the DC Universe and the fact that it was WAY too ambitious to actually live up to what it was trying to do. Millars approach weaves together familiar superhero comic tropes with a basic understanding of 20th-century geopolitical concerns to develop something with real potential to be interesting.

    Lyles Movie Files - Jeffrey Lyles Mar 29, 2023

    One of the best aspects of Millar titles is that he's going to at least tell the complete story and has no issues revisiting characters if the fan demand is there for future chapters. The Ambassadors is already off to a fantastic start and I'm excited about the possibilities with it. Read Full Review

    Frank Quietly delivers some beautifully detailed and brutal art throughout the issue. I love the visual style of the story and how immersive the imagery is. Read Full Review

    COMICON - Olly MacNamee Mar 27, 2023

    ‘The Ambassadors' #1 mixes old school black ops action with modern day geo-politics as America must wake up to the realisation they're not the global superpower they thought they were? For that, as in the real world, we must look to the East and to bio-engineering genius, Doctor Chung. A billionaire who, unlike many, only has altruistic motives for the world in mind. From Mark Millar and Frank Quietly. Read Full Review

    Lotusland Comics - Hank Rea Mar 31, 2023

    Intriguing, compelling, and irresistible, 'The Ambassadors' lays the groundwork for a riveting miniseries that will question what it means to be a superhero. An almost perfect debut. Read Full Review

    Graphic Policy - Brett Mar 29, 2023

    Millar has been on a roll as he's expanded Millarworld and The Ambassadors #1 is no exception. How it fits into the big picture should be very interesting but even on its own, without all of that, it's a debut and series that's well worth checking out. Read Full Review
