PRAISE FOR GUNG-HO:

“Combining Archie-style teenage shenanigans and rivalries with a Walking Dead narrative arc is a stroke of genius, and the creative team give it their all, with lively animation-inspired visuals and densely designed backdrops. Delivers ample fun at the end of the world. –Publishers Weekly”

“Von Kummant’s illustration is stunning and matches the lively tone of von Eckartsberg’s script, which puts a new spin on dystopian survival tales in the Walking Dead vein by focusing the narrative around a teenage cast.
– Library Journal

“What a beautiful book it is!”
– Charlie Adlard, Artist of The Walking Dead (Image) 

“Gung Ho is a completely brilliant and fresh take on the Post Apocalyptic theme. Hip, edgy, and intense writing, absolutely gorgeous artwork – it’s at the top of my list for recommended reading!”
– Kevin Eastman, Co-Creator of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

“This book is simply spectacular! An intense science fiction story, with a devastating and gorgeous graphic impact! What expressiveness! What landscapes! And what colors! AMAZING! A series not to be missed!”
– Mirka Andolfo, Writer/Artist of MERCY, UNNATURAL (Image) 

“Gung-ho is an incredible post apocalyptic action packed ride full with great believable characters, well thought out settings, and to top it off, a coming of age teenage drama. Grippingly told by Benjamin’s writing and beautifully illustrated by Thomas, don’t miss this chance to watch two master craftsmen at work.:
– Nic Klein, Artist/Co-creator of DRIFTER, Viking, Dancer (image), & currently drawing THOR (Marvel)

“GUNG-HO is one of my all-time favorite comics. It’s an action-packed, visceral and epic story with cool young characters in a jaw-dropping setting. Damn, I wish had come up with this Gem!”
– Enrico Marini, Writer/artist of BATMAN The Dark Prince Charming (DC)
