Review:
It's great...! It's really fantastic. [Gladfelter's] draftsmanship is so clean, [his] cartooning so deceptively simple but always right on target. The script is tight and engaging, hitting all the genre beats but never feeling mechanical. The dialog is a total joy to read! [Soule and Gladfelter] really bring something to every single character, even the bit parts are filled with fully realized people. The whole thing is super sharp... I really, really dug it, and tore through it without stopping, in one sitting, while other graphic novels by famous comic book cats were piled all around me half-read. --Josh Dysart, writer of BPRD 1946 and Unknown Soldier
The easiest thing to say about STRONGMAN is it has heart. But it does. It really does. First you start reading, then you start rooting, and then...you'll see. --Brad Meltzer, writer of DC's Identity Crisis and suspense novel author
Strongman delivers in the ring and out... It packs an emotional punch. A well-told story of redemption. Soule and Gladfelter pour their hearts into Strongman and it shows on every single page. Truly wonderful. --Jimmy Palmiotti, writer of Jonah Hex
