"Grade: A-. Wrapping up this four-part series, Marini exults in depicting every sword stroke and nubile nude with Matrix-like flair." -Oliver Chin, Comics Buyers Guide
"The artwork by Enrico Marini continues to offer stunning architectural perspectives, Matrix-worthy fashion chic, and kinky erotic thrills, while Jean Dufaux's terse and biting (sorry!) text conveys the inner lives of his characters as successfully as it presents the exciting action."
-Paul Di Filippo, Asimov's
