"A dark, brooding piece of evocative horror blessedly short on exposition and long on landscapes, ambiance and feelings" —The Oregonian
"If you were a fan of Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino Green Arrow or Old Man Logan, which were instant classics in the eyes of many, then check out this original story." —IGN
"It's a thriller, it's horror, it's literary, and it's also something truly unique." —Newsarama
"Though Lemire is one of the busiest writers in the industry right now, the sheer volume, diversity, and high quality of his output is remarkable. He doesn’t lose a step here nor does Sorrentino, who is composing here at peak level too... I left the experience of Gideon Falls more than ready to see how the mystery of this odd town plays out in the next chapter." —The Comics Beat
"Jeff Lemire really knocks it out of the park with this comic. I highly recommend this one. Give it a read." —Bleeding Cool
