Jun 19, 2019American Carnage is one of the most challenging series I think I've read, but working through the story has rewarded me with a crime tale for the ages and even if #9 is the last we'll see of the characters, they have already made quite the impression. Read Full Review

Multiversity Comics - John Schaidler
Jun 21, 2019As it hurtles toward its final climactic chapter, "American Carnage" feels increasingly raw and primal, a deft combination of action sequences and brilliant dialogue. This is a must-read series. You need to see how it ends. Read Full Review

Geek Dad - Ray Goldfield
Jun 19, 2019The most impressive thing about American Carnage, Bryan Hill and Leandro Fernandez' modern race-based noir, as it enters its penultimate issue is the way it can seesaw from ultra-violence to charged dialogue " and make the latter feel just as tense as the former. Read Full Review

Forces Of Geek - Lenny Schwartz
Jun 21, 2019Hill writes another great issue that rings true in every moment and every bit of dialogue. The art perfectly compliments the writing. This is a slow burn of an issue and it's pretty great. I'm looking forward to see what they cook up next. Read Full Review

Nov 14, 2020Overall, American Carnage #8 is an astonishing entry that serves as a great penultimate issue. The story by Bryan Edward Hill is excellent. The art by the creative team is beautiful. Altogether, a story that puts everything on edge in this installment. Read Full Review

Jun 23, 2019Im still eager to see what happens to Rick but Im hoping it all pays off. I am always excited when a new issue drops but Im starting to think it would be worth it to wait for the trade to be released. Read Full Review

DC Comics News - Sean Blumenshine
Jun 22, 2019This is probably the best issue so far but I'm still not loving it. The increased focus on Jennifer is captivating. She gets more interesting every time we learn something new about her. She's a great villain who knows the evil of her actions and does them anyway. But there's no one to roof for. The villains are interesting but horrifically racist while the heroes are boring one note jackasses. Combined with the art that I don't love, this issue loses a lot of potential. Read Full Review

That this comic is ending because Vertigo has become a tainted brand is a great shame. This is another strong issue in an interesting story that has a lot more to deliver, but never will because Vertigo put out so much trash alongside it.

This keeps getting more complicated and interesting.

This wasn't the most exciting issue yet. I feel like some of the characterization is taking some leaps so that we can wrap things up quicker.

Where is this book going? Are gory bullet holes and edgy/improper language enough to prop it up? The art sure isn't.
