Select praise for HADRIAN'S WALL:
"[Rod Reis is] an expert storyteller, deftly unfolding this murder mystery with skill and precision. Troy Peteri's lettering is on point, too, which helps in a talking-head sort of story like this. The panels never feel overburdened by the text. All in all, Hadrian's Wall #1 is a finely crafted introduction… Look, murder in space with a noir feel? What else do you need from a comic book, right? Especially when it's done this damn well." —Nerdist
"A love letter to Blade Runner, Outland and Aliens." —IGN
"A visual epic unlike anything in recent memory." —Comics Beat
"Loved it. Like a killer not-yet-made Fincher movie." —Charles Soule
"A clever riff on the genre, especially for noir fans looking for something different." —UPROXX
"Reis' gorgeous sequential work falls on the same spectrum as Phil Noto, Fiona Staples and Nic Klein, lending a sense of pulpy atmosphere to Higgins & Siegel's script." —Paste Magazine
"An addictive combination of relentless plotting and dreamy Blade Runner style." —Hope Larson
