  This comic book may seem to be set at a steep price point, $7 retail, but the comic book is one of the best original graphic novels I've read in the last year. You get basically three full issues rolled into one with a story that is part horror, part satire, part mystery that has plenty of laughs with enough blood and guts to keep you honest. This was an excellent read that I recommend for anyone looking for something a little different from the usual set of spandex. Read Full Review

  The Comic Addiction - Chris Partin

  The art in this book by Giancarlo Caracuzzo, Paul Mounts, and Bill Tortolini is something to behold! I first saw Caracuzzo’s art in the pages of Last Resort, another Palmiotti and Gray penned book from IDW Publishing and I just wanted to see more of his work. It’s hard to say that I like one book over the other, but I think Random Acts is such a great overall piece. Mounts’s colors really are muddied and provide so a dark mood and then you turn the page and there’s a lot of bold and striking colors that provide such a punch to the pencils and inks. Much like Last Resort, Random Acts makes me want to see more from this artistic team for sure! Read Full Review
