Select praise for AD: AFTER DEATH:
“It’s intensely emotional, beautifully rendered and very diverse in its presentation.”
—IGN
“A haunting and beautiful experience. Lemire's art often has a dream-like quality,
floating like smoke through the page. During the books' extended flashback, Snyder and
Lemire create an ethereal structure, a world that always seems a moment away from
collapse… There is simply nothing else like this on the shelf and that's a good thing.”
—Nerdist
“Writer Scott Snyder and artist Jeff Lemire have crafted one of the most moving comic
books.” —FreakSugar
