Jun 18, 2017KILL THE MINOTAUR #1 is a highly ambitious first issue, but comes up a bit too short in some respects. Despite the problems, I would recommend keeping an eye out for what comes next in the series, and I anticipate that any Greek mythology fan will enjoy this take on the classic myth. Read Full Review

Geek-O-Rama - Brian Belanger
Jun 18, 2017While this might just seem like another retelling of the minotaur, it looks like it's aiming to be otherwise. With the creative minds of two great video game designers behind it, that's very likely. Between that and the core topic, I think this is one that could be good to follow. Read Full Review

Great read!! Not sure why I picked this up. It wasn't on my radar, but a lot of indie books I'm reading either wrapped up or were on hiatus, so I gave this a try and I'm hooked. Excellent first issue. Looking forward to issue 2.
