"Simonson takes grand themes, draws the hell out of them, and unleashes them on the world ... A breathtaking read." --Comic Book Resources<br /><br />"Simonson's characterization of Orion as the tragic hero is spot on, as he rails against his own dark heritage with the fanatical zeal of a believer and the reckless disregard of an infidel. There is much cosmic bombast to be admired here, Simonson's dynamic art carries the plot and action breathlessly." --PopMatters<br /><br /><br />"Simonson really just inherently gets comic books. The way he approaches the art is so perfect, this spectacular blend of larger than life and yet easily acceptable." --Crave Online
