    With issue eight, Ivar, Timewalker continues to be not only one of Valiant's best books, but also one of the best comics I'm reading right now. It's fast-paced fun, with a memorable cast of characters and a story that leaves you wanting more month after month. Read Full Review

    Given the current absence of a Quantum & Woody or Archer & Armstrong from Valiant's lineup, it falls to Ivar to fulfill the publisher's fun quotient, which it thankfully delivers.

As was the case back in issue #4, Van Lente deftly proves that he can emotionally affect readers in manners beyond laughter. Read Full Review

    I love Eternal Warrior and Armstrong, and any embellishment on their past and further stories has been continually compelling. I do however find myself continually wishing for this book to have lower stakes, which would allow more breathing room and time for some character development, as I think that its leads are rich and would benefit from some time together, outside of mortal danger.

    All-Comic - Alex Mansfield Aug 22, 2015

    Ivar, Timealker #8 reveals itself as the tramedy that it's been all along. It's about loss and fighting back against it through time itself while instilling the sense that love fills the future with possibilities that may seem impossible. Dramatically accelerating to the climax before the fallout and resolution of the arc's conclusion next month, it moves almost too quickly to fully emotionally grab hold of. Read Full Review
