Recensioner i media

“Shawn Martinbrough is my favorite comic book artist working today, and The Heavy might be his boldest work. Swaggering, muscular, old-school noir, fronted by an antihero who’s hard to love but impossible to ignore: Dukes Duchamp. Here’s hoping we haven’t seen the last of him.”
